After seeing a battered C-3PO in a scene in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, Martin grabbed a Bandai 1/12 scale model of the droid from his display shelf, one of his early builds and set to work. “The base color was a combination of blues and grays,” he says. He used hairspray to create chipping effects between colors, then added layers of artist oils and pigments to produce an aged patina.
