More Legion-proxy models today. We have a bit of a mass of Ewoks that I 3d printed as a bit of an experiment. You see, as well as Flippy the FDM the printer works for tanks and terrain and larger scale things, it doesn’t do quite so well for detailed humanoid miniatures in 28mm or so. I know there are a lot of people out there that are happy with how they come out, but the FDM print quality for normal minis isn’t quite up to the standard I’m happy with, especially given my existing backlog of metal, plastic & resin miniatures.
Ewoks on the other hand, well, they’re just kinda small and fuzzy. How do you paint them? (If you’re not one of those people who for whatever weird reason won’t use techniques like drybrushing and washing.) Well, by drybrushing and washing.
So I printed a whole pile of Ewoks just before Christmas, cleaned them up (all those supports!) in January and painted them. They turned out ok, so I cleaned even more and did the same again. We have 18 of the little ̶b̶a̶s̶t̶a̶r̶d̶s̶ fellow here – which in Star Wars Legion terms is three units of Ewok Skirmishers for the Bright Tree Village force, differentiated (if need be) by three different overall fur tones – and I’ll probably print some more in the future when a couple of other projects are out of the way.
Apparently I also need Trapper Ewoks and Axe Ewoks for these units as well, so let’s hope they come out ok (the archers, they didn’t print well). To wrap up, here’s the little horde of Ewoks around their Golden God!
As with everything else posted recently, these figures were all were indeed cleaned up and based in January so they count towards Anne’s 2026 Miniature Assembly Challenge, and since they were printed in mid-December they (just) qualify for Dave Stone’s Paint What You Got Challenge 25-26.
