The Hobby Weekend is here, and I’m looking to get back to painting SW:L.

I decided to go for reinforcements for the Rebels force. Below is my OTT order:

  • Wookie Warriors
  • Chewbacca himself
  • Commandos
  • Pathfinders

And rummaging through my pile of shame, found in carbon ice is Mr Han Solo.

 

Plan for the weekend.

Friday:

  • Clean up the models
  • Primer and pre-shade

Saturday:

  • Possible airbrush work on all the minies.
  • Texture paint on all bases
  • Brushwork on the Wookies
  • Brushwork on the commandos

Sunday

  • Brushwork on the Pathfinders
  • Bases finalisation, tufts etc.
  • Varnish all
  • Destroy the galactic empire

I love the smell of primer in the morning.

Building and clean up last night took longer than I anticipated, thus up early on Saturday and priming.

Giving the new Citadel priming handle a go. Not bad, at least for light plastic minies.

Paint on! Starting off from the pre-shade, the fur is done with Contrast Gore-Grunta Fur.

Before jumping into batch painting the rest of the Wookies, I completed one to settle down my colour choices.

First, I highlighted the fur up from the Contrast paint. I used Vallejo Flat Earth, with gradual mixes of Vallejo Deck Tan, overburshed on.

The leather pouches and belts are Vallejo Mahagony Brown. Metals are done offwhite highlights and Nuln Oil.
