I finally finished my Arc Troopers (with much pain), so I thought I would go back and paint up Captain Rex. This is another older type Clone model made out of semi hard plastic. The detail is still quite nice, as all the models from Asmodie. The kit gives you and option to build rex with or without his helmet. I opted for with, as I am not as excited by the clone faces on these models. I also like the classic look. I tried to squeeze the shooting hands together to better align them pointing ahead, but was only to get them to stick about half way. Close enough!
I painted up Rex using the same technique as my other clones. Went with the white and GW white wash with white highlights on all the armor and equipment. The weapons and cloth was all painted with GW contrast black with medium grey highlights. Since I wanted to field the model as Rex, I went with the blue details for the 501st. He will definitely stand out against the rest of my troops!
I kept with the same basing using dark brown with GW earth technical paint and a tan drybursh. I then added the spiky tuft and then sprayed the model with krypton sealer. To finish the model, I used a sharpie to add some tick marks to the helmet for the kill marks. It’s not rex without some kill marks!
With that, another character to add to my Clone army!
