OK, i don’t know how i missed tge start of this, I’m putting it down to old age and the fumes from the paint and glue taking their toll (i guess those warning labels aren’t just there for decoration lol)
any here is my entry, a Star Wars Legion DSD-1 Dwarf Spider Droid. this wad featured in “Attack of the Clones”, “Revenge of the Sith” and the “Clone Wars” series.

So, are you going to replace the red-glowing “Shtora-1” - style emitters/sensors with joke “Wobbly Eyes”?
Cheers,

Looking good, David! Good chance to work with a lot of metalics. 
i don’t have any pictures but the model and base have been given a matt white primer coat and the droid has been given a coat of aluminium as the base metallic coat.
he shot cody, rex and the bad batch😎 down
WOW!..I am full of admiration for all of the builds in this campaign, your creativity, imagination and skill to render such amazing builds is outstanding…I’ll have to dip in here more often…congrats to everyone,

G,

I have not seen the “Bad Batch” and i have only started watching the “Clone Wars” animated series, almost 15 years after it was first made.
anyway back to the modelling, the first image is of the first base metal followed by a gun metal wash.
I like very much the kit on the first photo, but the wash looks strange to me on the sphere part top. Full of spots? Or is it the photo only?
The legs (undercarriage?) and the weapon look great with the wash, though.
A very interesting subject. I am sure you will have great result with it soon!
yes the paint seems to have reacted withe base coat on the sphere section, i will need to investigate this.
ok so i have fixed the upper section and i have been experimenting with crackle paint and a lava base.
Looks Great! Very cool effect on the base!
I am almost calling this one complete.
I blackened the recessed panel lines with Vallejo Black Ink and a black Gundam Ultra Fine marker.
The figure 's black pouches and straps are drybrushed using MIG drybrushing Light Gray paint.
I don’t know if I’ll mount it on a base (not the one in the photo. That pedestal is just used to prop up the figure for photos since it doesn’t stand on its own).
I probably need to do some touching up here and there, but unless I place this figure on a base, these might be the final photos.
(Note: The Green Stuff World Maxx Darth Paint was used for the blackest black you see on the guns).
As well as everything as a whole … the hair tones look very nice and realistic
I’m loving that metallic finish, she/he/it/they look fantastic.
sorry, about the political correctness, i just couldn’t help myself 
Beautiful paint job, Peter! I love the metallic uniform/armor and the way you make the details pop with washes without the metallic feel of the armor.
Congrats on finishing - if you have the time, please share if you mount the model on a base.
Thanks everyone.
I realized with the photos that I still could do some touch ups, washes, and weathering to the figure so I suppose I am too hasty to finish. The eyes can use some defining and she’s missing an eyebrow.
I decided not to use Tamiya Black Enamel Panel Liner because there are reviews that it will attack and eat the base paint, hence the tedious process of first using Vallejo Black Ink and then Ultra Fine Black Gundam markers.
I didn’t wash it or add any weathering (yet).
I “jumped the gun” in calling it finished when there really is more that I can do after seeing how it looks in photos.
calling this one finished, it was a fun little build as star wars legion kits are reasonably easy to work with.
Funny little kit, but looks very interesting. Nice result - so congrats!
