Shatterpoint: We Are Brave (Queen Amidala squad)

Enough of these armored warrior types. It’s time for some dresses

Queen Padmé Amidala

The facepaint on Amidala intimidated me, though I think it turned out reasonably.

Sabé

Sabé’s a tricky one, with her blaster at the ready.

The blending on the handmaidens also gave me pause. I used my technique of blending GW Contrast paints.

Shatterpoint: This Party’s Over (Mace Windu squad)

Mace Windu is here to shut down the party.

Mace Windu

The shape of the creases in Mace Windu’s cloak did not take well to my standard wash technique.

Commander Ponds

Ponds continues my tradition of using the bare head alternates for secondaries. I’m getting quite a collection of clone helmets in the bit box.

The clones in this whole box turned out more on the gray side than I had intended. But at least it stands out on a white background.

Shatterpoint: Plans and Preparation (Luminara squad)

More lightsabers please.

Jedi Master Luminara Unduli

I love the battle nun look of the Luminara box.

Barriss Offee, Jedi Padawan

I did some spots on Barriss Offe’s cloak, but they’re practically invisible in the final product. Sooner or later I’ll learn to be garish in the first pass so contrasts survive washes.

Like the 501st, I uses washes and chipping to keep the clones from being too white. I also take whatever excuse I can to apply contrast in the details, like the shoulder pads and below the chest plate.
