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.

    • You’re right that the original puppet used in ESB had no legs, though i’ve seen quite a few different versions of their legs and teef over the years from the old Kenner toy I had as a kid and onwards – and the “official lore” talks about them having various models, some of which were bolted to the floor!
