2-1B, Two Onebee, Star Wars Legion: Rebel Specialists Medical Droids

Today we have two copies of the Medical Droid segment of the Rebel Specialists expansion for Star Wars Legion. The first one I painted I went with the colour scheme seen on 2-1B/Two Onebee, one of the Medical Droids we saw working on Luke in Hoth’s Echo Base early on in The Empire Strikes back. The somewhat battered Blue-Turquoise scheme turned out pretty decently.

For the second droid, I wanted to paint it in a different colour, and felt that a beaten copper would work well, since Star Wars – and particularly the Rebels – really have a lot of brown in their palette (along with blue, actually).

Both of these models had their arms slightly realigned. As push-fit PVC models, they only come with one “proper” way to go together, so a little bit of carving on the arm and head tabs allowed me to vary their poses just slightly to help both look a little less identical.

These were both cleaned up in January and the arm and head nubs were modified, though the final gluing-together assembly was done alongside the painting process, so I’m not sure if these work for Anne’s 2026 Miniature Assembly Challenge. Regardless, they do qualify for Dave Stone’s Paint What You Got Challenge 25-26 as they wre painted before the end of February.

Sci-Fi Battered and Damaged Landspeeders (Curufin 3D Prints)

A pair of Landspeeders today, for use as terrain for Star Wars Legion and possibly Shatterpoint.

Sure, the scale may be off a little for Shatterpoint, but as terrain pieces that have very little to do with gameplay, I feel like they’ll still work okay.

These were quick and easy to paint. Spray paint a base colour then a zenithal of a lighter spray.

Next was a bunch of sponge highlighting for both the green and then the blue to give them a sun-bleached look.

The racing stripes on both were done by masking off the stripes and then simply stippling on the yellow/red.

I finished them up with more stippling using a couple of shades of metallic paint, as well as painting in the other details like the vents and seats. The windscreen is a piece of cut out plastic just slotted in there. I need to cut out another piece at some stage for the second speeder as well as I’ve just passed it back and forth for the photos here.

These models, digitally sculpted by artist Curufin can be found for free on Cults3D, along with a bunch of other models inspired by fantasy and sci-fi.

Some protocol droids provide scale for us here.

Yet again, these models were printed before December (during November, in fact!) and cleaned up & assembled in January so they count towards both Anne’s 2026 Miniature Assembly Challenge and also Dave Stone’s Paint What You Got Challenge 25-26.
