R2-KT

Bandai 1/12 Scale

Bandai R2-KT, completed in Tamiya acrylics; Alclad lacquers; Mig & AK Interactive enamels; and Secret Weapon Miniatures pigments. For the first time ever, I decided not to paint the white and instead applied the enamel washes directly to the plastic. Coming from the BB-8/R2-D2 kit, I also noticed that this plastic is glossier than the plastic in the original release of this kit, which I found interesting. Since R2-KT is an Imperial droid, I gave her a base that resembled the Death Star hangar from the original Star Wars. If you haven't heard the story behind R2-KT, check out their website (but be prepared to have your heartstrings tugged!).

Nice job with the weathering, looks good

Looks fantastic. What method do you use for chipping if you don't mind me asking? It looks great on your X-Wing builds as well.

Thanks!

On this model I did the chipping with a brush and Vallejo paint.
