Scouts Out!

By WGNF911, in Painting

As a former Cavalry Scout I can say no self respecting scout would have been on Endor without the appropriate camouflage. Here are my WIPs.

The color/concept test. Trying to emulate MultiCam. I think there will be 10 colors total in the final product not including washes and varnish.

Final coloration. I have painted a lot of Armada and some Xwing but not a lot of soldiers. These are still WIP (obviously on the bikes) with washes, highlights, and weathering still to be done.

I got some inspiration from episode 3 Kashyyk clones and US Army MultiCam schemes. I think the bikes will be the base dark brown with some green the scouts painted on themselves to help blend the standard speederbike. Armor will varnish in flat with visor in satin and bike flat also.

Wow! The Angry Staff Officer would be proud. https://angrystaffofficer.com/category/star-wars/

I just have Fleet Troopers so far and I'm using the paint from playing Flames of War. So my Stormtroopers will have a squad in Italian 1934 pattern camo and the Fleets have camo pants and Sherman drab helmets.

Good stuff. Thanks for the link.

Great looking scouts. I love seeing custom themes and out side the box ideas. These were my favorite Legion miniatures to paint from the core set.

These look almost exactly like the Episode 3 action figures from Kenner/Hasbro. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Certainly look great, very nice camo design.

If I may make one critique, I think those gloves should be a different color. maybe green, black, or same/similar camo design. Just something other than what it is, since it seems to match the speeder bike color way too much and from first look seems like apart of the speeder bike handles.

Love that camo!!!

Most excellent!!!
