My next Droids Custom is gonna be an adventure - exploring new things I've never tried and hoping I don't fail miserably. It'll be most similar to my Droids R5-D4 where I repainted a bunch of old figures so they'd be in the Droids style. But with R5-D4 the sticker did most of the heavy lifting. A Droids-style Death Star Droid will need to be completely hand-painted. And I worry about the eyes. I tried to paint R5-D4's dome and it went terribly, so I abandoned that and used vinyl stickers instead. There's not option for that here. I either paint them right or the custom looks awful...

So I'm gonna research how those Warhammer dudes do it.

But first I gotta prep the figures for their base color. It'll be blue... I still need to shop for the spray paint. But you can't just spray chrome cuz it won't stick. That's where the brake fluid comes in...

Check back next week and see how it went!
