- Prime with a silver like Steelforge Silver , then coat Chopper and the destroyed droid on the base with Vallejo Environment FX Rust Texture.
- Heavily drybrush the main chassis with Celestra Grey , and the head unit with Squig Orange . Use a stippling motion - want most of it covered.
- Boost the chassis a bit with a lighter drybrush of Wrack White or similar light grey, and do the same with the head unit via some bright orange (I used Troll Slayer Orange , then added a touch of Screaming Skull for the very top highlights)
- Using Yriel Yellow , I picked out the 'stripes' that separate the head and chassis using a stippling motion to imply wear/tear.
- I picked out a few panels with Vulkan Green and heavily thinned Black . Using a less-thinned black, I blocked out the top antenna and the two arms.
- Drybrush the base droid with Necron Compound
- I then did a simple grey basing scheme, which I'll use for each of the SW Rebels' Ghost Crew. Vallejo Dark Earth Texture Paste, washed with Basilicanum Grey , then drybrushed with Stormvermin Fur and Administratum Grey . I wanted to do the base at this point so the smoke/explosion below Chopper was easier to imply with some basic OSL/etc.
- I used a weathering pencil (AK Dust/Rainmarks) to add some chipping/wear to the 'arms'
- Basecoat the thruster burst with Matt White , coat in Baal Red , then wet blend the outer parts black to light grey
- I stabbed some Vallejo rust pigments into the base, and sealed with alcohol, then rimmed with Corvus Black
