Spray Day

Its time to roll out the big guns for the Republic and get these walkers in the fight.

I gave this spider droid a coat of liquid green stuff just to smooth over the armour plating a bit. The odd dent I'm not too worried about as these are machines of war.

It's finally time too to give this model a lick of paint.

Having spent many an hour on it, it's time to call it done and move on.

 

All walkers together, it's time to march through the spray booth.

This is light grey from Tamiya, as it happens it's the perfect undercoat for the Republic hull colour. I can use this spray on the speeders and smaller walkers too. Once given a Nuln oil wash then highlighted with a lighter grey, the job is basically done.

These large, heavy walkers may be a slightly darker grey, I'll have to do some more reference digging. If not though it should lead to some easy painting.

Target the AAT... maximum firepower!

I learnt my lesson with the droid tanks and covered the magnet sockets with blue tac. This hopefully will stop them getting paint on them which causes movement problems down the line. I have four of these monsters but have only faced building two at the moment. Let's use these two as guides for the others.

Right let's do some more colour research...
