B1 Battle Droid Assembly Guide ~ Star Wars Legion!

[@TheHutt0326]

Thanks for the video, it is a life saver! Building the clones was a blast, I knocked them all out in an afternoon... the B1s on the other hand were a nightmare for me personally.

[@Zorpazorp]

No problem at all dude! Glad it was helpful:) I've got a huuuuuge legion video dropping next week, defined stay tuned to the channel mate!

[@ThatNewDude29]

I just bought a set of these guys myself, and man was i struggling to figure out how to assemble to leader, so thank you for this video! Was a huge help

[@Zorpazorp]

Very welcome!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Nice video! I've never before thought that battle droids from the prequels were cool... but... somehow you've got me excited about these models! Pretty cool kit :-)

[@Zorpazorp]

Yeah I've always been a clone boy, LAAT gunships get me excited haha but these kits are pretty sweet! I looove the Droidekas though!

[@rick9663]

This was a huge help. Thank you! I was having a terrible time with the arms and never thought to glue the arms together first. Thanks again!

[@Zorpazorp]

No problem buddy! Glad I could help 😊

[@mattressco8132]

had the same issue as with all the clones i would do one arm first then the other, glueing them both together first makes it much easier for the droids

[@PhilSNight]

Bro I just watch star wars mini videos because I GM a mini/terrain heavy d20 game - but your energy makes me want to get into Legion ASAP

[@Zorpazorp]

Do it Phil you won't regret it :)

[@samasaurus1238]

Yeeeeees! I’m loving the new Star Wars légion clone Wars content!cant wait to get some clone and droid marking skins!!! Love your channel btw!

[@Zorpazorp]

Thanks so much mate! I'm loving it too it's so mad finally having some Star Wars on my workbench!

[@Kiskispal]

Nice trick with the head assembly! Really useful vid. I pinned the feet with 0.8mm wire and it wasn't hard at all. I recommend using a scriber first to create a pilot hole, then you won't go wrong (like you did with the barrel! :) )

[@Zorpazorp]

Brilliant idea!! Thanks mate :)

[@bradleyscott6304]

I’m gonna try to tackle this task today, thanks for the guide

[@nicolasgaultier55]

awesome looking droids ;) thanks for the step by step tutorial hope to see more of star wars!

[@tophholland]

I've been so beyond ready for the Clone Wars expansion.

[@Zorpazorp]

I know right! Release already!

[@baptistebois5467]

Thanks for the tutorial Lachie, I was having a hard time with the leaders.

[@Zorpazorp]

you're welcome mate :)

[@milkshakellie]

If you’re having a bad day, gluing the droid’s head will make you end it all

[@thestaw1984]

Great video, thank you very much Mate! I'm wondering how tall figures are (without base of course). More or less 1/35 scale? (5,5cm)

[@tbga1970]

Hope you do some battle reports for Legion. Would be nice to see one with the new core and the old core. Just sayin....

[@Zorpazorp]

Absolutely on the cards man! Just have to get all these lads painted up!

[@ericfear]

Nice! These came out great. Any recommendations for a colour to do the armor in the geonosis theme? really like the red armor variant especially from SWBF2.

[@Zorpazorp]

Use the same scheme as my droideka video bro :) thanks!

[@ericfear]

@@Zorpazorp ah cool, I'll check it out, cheers!

[@simondrury7941]

Video was a great help as book diagrams are too small. Gave up on pinning the feet as it tended to make them weaker in my opinion. I hate assembling plastic and normally work with metal so this is a nightmare for me, but all went reasonably well. I have used clear bases despite loving basing my figures with rocks and tufts.

[@Zorpazorp]

Glad I could help Simon!

[@dan-el6547]

I rarely like a video... awesome job

[@Zorpazorp]

I appreciate that!

[@dan-el6547]

@@Zorpazorp I the simplicity of ur explanations but in all seriousness it's my first miniatures where I can change its poses and I love ur idea or changing the arms and stuff... simple yet I didnt think of it haha

[@beatgu]

I let my excitement get ahead of me and accidentally glued two of my B1's with backwards torsos. Was originally upset by it but the forward leaning neck makes them look kinda cool, plus I just use my imagination to pretend it's an assembly line screw up in the droid factory.

[@Zorpazorp]

Haha don't worry I did the exact thing hahaha

[@jordanmanley9172]

Just did that to one of my officer droids... While also gluing his binoculars backwards too. He's just built different.

[@themacael1131]

Do you recommend me to use plastic glue and super glue of Citadel (Games Workshop's glue) on the droids and on the clones?

[@Zorpazorp]

Yeah that stuff is fine :) Plastic glue - droids, super glue - clones. Although all the new clones like phase twos ar plastic glue :)

[@RustyShackleford101]

Thanks for the video, I tried plastic glue but it just wouldn't take. All in all, these were quite frustrating for me, as my hands shake.

[@gdghrrg444]

Love your vids dude. Are you planning a B2 guide at all?

[@Zorpazorp]

Sure am bro just waiting for the stock to arrive in Australia 😂

[@gdghrrg444]

@@Zorpazorp maybe they are rowing them across 🤦‍♂️. Anyway looking forward to whatever you have in store for us next 🤙🏼

[@thecaryou]

What glue are you using? That stuff drys so fast compared to mine. I could never get the arms on that nice.

[@Zorpazorp]

The plastic cement by Revel :)

[@M0narch1024]

I wonder if the Phase II clone troopers are hard plastic or not.

[@Zorpazorp]

Yeah I'm wondering too, I really hope they are...

[@sir-ta-l]

Merci sa ma vraiment aidé XD

[@Zorpazorp]

heureux d'avoir aidé, merci d'avoir regardé!

[@eriksarlatnastarubio177]

How many heavy weapons can be in a squad?

[@motoshudenyamanato921]

:( we still don't have them in canada side. Waiting for my order?

[@Zorpazorp]

They're not out here either, hopefully mid October.

[@antoniodedonato3135]

Nice vídeo!

[@Zorpazorp]

Cheers dude :)

[@senint]

Huh... so the arms were in general (of multipart plastic kits with gun holding arms) that simple... I did learn something at least!

[@Zorpazorp]

Glad I could help

[@Pryrates89]

Your content is really good as usual. I'm not really interested in SWL but I'll watch to support your channel. Really biting my nails for more Middle-earth tho. 😁

[@Zorpazorp]

Don't worry Dan haha heaps planned for next week!

[@Zorpazorp]

Jist have to finish this core set :D

[@icewindofchange]

Yea, that antenna on commander was not obvious

[@keithcompton6916]

Nice video

[@Zorpazorp]

Thanks Keith!!!

[@LeeJ2512]

I've really been struggling with the arms for some reason, I use Gorilla superglue as it said in the manual to use superglue but it takes so long to dry!

[@Zorpazorp]

Plastic cement is what you want for droids buddy not super glue. Plastic Glue all the way :)

[@LeeJ2512]

Zorpazorp I shall use plastic from now on :) so does that mean I’ve messed up making half my army with superglue? I’m really careful with them

[@Zorpazorp]

@@LeeJ2512 nah they'll be fine dude, if any come apart just use plastic to repair but they'll probably be fine anyway

[@LeeJ2512]

@@Zorpazorp Perfect, thanks for the responses, they've certainly put my mind at ease. Love the channel :)

[@Zorpazorp]

@@LeeJ2512 thanks dude 😊

[@Seffron]

If I’d of made a video about this subject, 90% of it would be me swearing and / or crying! Sooo fiddly!

[@NotTheStinkyCheese]

why not use the needle with the revell contacta glue ? it is far more precise than your method ...

[@Zorpazorp]

My needle is super clogged haha very old bottle of revell 😂

[@NotTheStinkyCheese]

@@Zorpazorp I heard you can use a lighter to burn the glue stuck inside of the needle. It is a flamable product and that is a metal needle after all ... (don't do that when the needle is still attached ... but I shouldn't have to tell you that ;-))

[@Zorpazorp]

Hahahaha yes indeed that would be a bad idea!! But yes I'll definitely try that!

[@ashleyoestreicher2687]

It's very complicated. I hate them. The directions suck. Please do single videos for each single droid.

[@Zorpazorp]

They are a bit more painful than normal legion haha
