WEG Star Wars - Leia & IC-UP Imperial Droid


Yesterday I had a chance to paint up a couple of WEG figures, these just happens to be a couple of bonus figures I received in a trade and as such were the first to get honoured with a paint job.

First up is Leia on Bespin and  Imperial Droid IC-UP





I tried to go for a somewhat close paint job for both as they are shown at that point in the films as I no doubt have to paint a few versions of each of the main cast keeping them accurate to each location will help me from getting too much of the same.

Not too happy with Leia at first as I went too dark with the skin and so she had a quick skin repaint

 I also made up my mind to use a Universal/Uniformed base scheme rather then bases themes to match where they are located in the films. That way they will look right when gamed with in my alternative/unexplored settings


For those which don't know these are truescale 25mm so closer to 20-22mm, so below is scale shot.


In order left to right:

Ral Partha truescale 25mm
Citadel Dark Future 20mm (Though closer to 22mm)
WEG Leia
WEG Imperial Droid
Foundry 28mm Fishman

Thanks for looking, btw I'm still hunting for various ones (I now have over 60 but you can never have too many eh?) so have alook if you have any spare for little Ol Chico eh?
