Is there anything more fun out there right now than these little Bandai kits?
Here's R2's unfinished dome:
Now about half way there assembling these guys, from what I can tell:
And before anybody asks, here are the colors I've used so far:
Clearly I love the Gunze stuff. All parts were first primed using the "1500 Black". Yes, all parts. The blue parts were then painted using the "Super Fine Silver", an then finally given several coats of the Dykem "Steel Blue" layout fluid, which just happens to be the exact same stuff that was used for the full-size props and at least some of the miniature droids made for the first film. All colors, including the "Steel Blue" were airbrushed and thinned with "Mr Color Leveling Thinner".
Really can't wait to weather these guys, but must resist the urge until they're ready...
