eBay Miniature Rescues is a unique channel that takes beat up, damaged minis and tries to restore them! It’s a relatively new channel on YouTube and is super fun to watch what they are able to do with abused and unwanted miniatures.
eBay Miniature Rescues Saves Some Stormtroopers!
First, after striping the models, he primes them white to prepare for the painting process.
Next, take Citadel Russ Grey with the airbrush and applying some simple shading. Take a watered-down Citadel Abaddon Black or any black oil wash to go into the recesses, it’s your choice here for which you prefer the look of. He used a mix of both but noted the paint looked cleaner but took longer.
After the black lining, take Citadel Abaddon Black again to get all the under armor. Then use VGA Off White to add a little bit of variation to the whites. Come through with Vallejo White after to highlight and really bring life into the white instead of having just bland white and black.
Here you can mix some of the white and lack together and use the mixture as the highlight for the black areas.
Now we get to move onto the orange shoulder pads. Using Citadel Jakaero Orange you can base the pad then transition to Citadel Troll Slayer Orange in the center. So with those techniques, all of the models are done! These Stormtroopers have been saved by eBay Miniature Rescues!
