Ha! No dipping this time around. I think some of them might have gotten a black wash but I don't remember.

Pete, when you're doing this, are you using 4 bottles of different blues, or just add whites?

Yes, here are the first paints I've done since...2005? They are a little under "Chinese Factory" quality for the most part. I started with Chewbacca because I thought he would be easy. He kind of wasn't. I went with a medium brown base, then washed (ha, more like slopped) a darker brown on it. Then highlighted with a lighter shade of brown. Which made him look like an elderly dog. So I drybrushed again with the darker brown. Bleh. He kind of looks like crap. But at least you can tell it's Chewbacca.
Han I did about 2am last night, I felt emboldened so I went for it. He's a mess. I really didn't have the right colors for him, but I made it work. At first he looked like he was wearing bright blue jeans, but I washed (slopped) some darker blue over it and it was OK. I avoided doing the leathers in black, I did a dark gray and then drybrushed black on it. His head was a disaster. I don't know how many coats of paint are on it. Messed up every single thing about it and I still couldn't get the darker shadows in the recesses.
I decided to go with the IA stuff first because most of it has little detail, familiar colors, and easily replaceable. I've got all of the canonical characters primed along with a bunch of Stormtroopers, Royal Guard and Probe Droids. Hoping to do them all over the weekend.
