DIE JEDI DIE

"Oh my, what did I just say " yes I finally have got round to the 3PO conversion that was seen in Attack of the clones episode 2, I used one of the B1 battle droids I already had, plus the 3PO model that came with the drop pod kit for Legion, the head swap was easy enough, but the 3PO arms needed a lot of moving to hold the blaster, and I had to sculpt the hands onto the weapon. you will notice that the B1 parts are lighter than the reference pictures because all my B1's are painted in the episode 1 colour scheme.


While I was doing droids I also painted up the R2 that came with the pod as well, but painted it as QT-KT of the D-Squad from the cartoon Clone Wars series, I still need to do R2-D2 for this squad but want him stood on two legs.


Last today I've also done a R5 to sit in my Y-Wing I finished recently, it is removable, depending on whether I want  an astromech or not depending on the scenario.


 That's all for today, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

Cheers Dave

SLITHER ME HISS


 In a vain hope of clearing some space on the painting desk, I've finally finished up some swarm bases for my Lizardmen army, most are snake bases, but I did manage to make up a complete lizard base as well.


I based the colours on the Cayman Lizard, just made the colours a bit bolder, here is a reference picture of the real one.


Below I've split the snake bases in to two pictures to better show them off.


AS you can see there are many different types of snake on there, and here is some of the reference pictures I based them off, I went for snakes that were indigenous to South America .


You may notice cobra's on the bases and think aren't they from Asia and you'd be right, so to add variety I tried to find different colour schemes for them, below is the reference.


That's all for today, hopefully I can clear some more space on the desk, as long as I don't keep adding new projects, so until next time stay safe, and have fun !

Cheers Dave
