Star Wars: Legion - 3D printed droids

Chum Drew has recently bought an Elegoo Mars and when we recently met up for a socially distanced walk he handed me a bag of droids he'd printed off for me to paint up and add to the Star Wars: Legion collection.

These are the first five, there are a similar amount in the backlog that will hopefully get done in a future post.



A C-3PO, I already have one of these from the Escape Pod set, so this one was done in silver. Unfortunately, when painting the base I managed to knock his left arm off that pinged into the distance and remains unfound.

Usually seen scuttling around star-ships and large facilities, this mouse droid is probably going to find the Batuu terrain of our battlefields a little hard on his tiny wheels.


A C1 Astromech (thanks Laffe)

I already have a R2-D2 from the "Escape  Pod" set so, this one was done in a predominantly beige and yellow scheme as a generic R2 unit.

There is something about the GNK "Gonk" power droids that I really like, with a Gonk, you'll never be without a charge for your communicator.

These probably are not the droids you were looking for.

    Never found the missing arm! That is funny but gives C3PO some added character.

      Cheers Jonathan, yes, it is pinged into the void, destined to be picked up by the hoover at some time

    Thats smaller droid is a C1-series astromech droid, an earlier model compared to the R-series.

    Nice work! You can never get enough droids on Star Wars tables.

    Nice work on these SW figures, Scrivs. For the record, I bought a lot of SW pre-painted figures for my son when he was growing up. Not sure where they all are, but still have the huge AT-AT walker.

      Thanks Dean, I think that as the Legion figures are 40mm a 'true-scale' AT-AT would be as big as the table. It would be very impressive though.

    Great use of the printer. One of my sons has one and he has done some terrain for me and now I'm going to check out some figures. And they definitely look like Star Wars Droids!

      Thank you Neil. I have quite a bit of 3D printed terrain for our Legion games, this is the first of the figures
