Added a few more customs - Wookiee Cyborg, Nagai Blademaster, and a few others.

Brilliant custom jobs!  Nice to see the West End 'Darkstrider' minis in there too, you are a man of excellent taste!

Wow, a very nice collection!  

If I can ask, where do the grey-painted slotted based bases on the Engineer and Wookie below come from please? Or did you make them yourself (in which case: how did you make them please!)?

[Scotty Speed]

I painted those miniatures so long ago that I don't remember to tell the truth.  I believe they were made by Micro Art Studios.

Speaking of bases, how much difficulty do you have with removing the integral bases from the West End Games/Grenadier miniatures? I just removed the bases from two Stormtroopers and it was not fun. Not as bad as removing the Leading Edge bases from Aliens, but a lot more work then I expected.

Lead is very soft and is really easy to cut with sprue cutters.  I just cut around the foot as close as possible and then Dremeled the foot down to the right thickness.  Don't use a stone, I used a large endmill.

I think it's time to buy some new sprue cutters. That's close to what I do, but instead of using a dremel tool I use an Xacto blade. It's probably time to buy another Dremel anyway. I get results, but I'm looking to improve my speed. I have a something like eighty painted Stormtroopers to re-base, along with at least that many Rebels, Imperial Army regulars, Rogues and such.

Wow!  I just saw this thread and I'm amazed by the sheer volume and quality of your work.  The SW universe has a lot of room for eclectic characters and you sure have a diverse cast of them.  Though it's also nice to see familiar faces (or, helmets) as well.  I particularly like your Boba Fett and Leia/Boussh which are excellent.

I've posted a link to your collection on my own blog, I hope you don't mind the plug

No, not at all, glad you liked them and thanks for the compliment.

I did a bit of cut and drop on some of mine, cut the base shape out of the slotta and dropped the mini in. Stormtroopers are one of the worst based ones, some of the feet are a little ...odd Others just sharp clippers and sanding blocks. Exacto??? erm no.... not if you don't wanna be counting the fingers you haven't got, leave that in the box mate.

To think that I passed on the entire collection of the old rarities once. Argh!

Lovely lovely paint jobs!

Thanks!  The West End Games miniatures are pretty easy to find on Ebay, with the exception of the Tauntaun, Darkstryder Crew #3, and Cantina Aliens #2.  The Cantina Aliens blister pack is actually for sale right now on Ebay if you're interested.

Don't forget the legendary AT-PT. The only one I ever found was a badly recast miniature that annoys me every time I see it.

Yeah, I have a WEG original lead miniature and I still had to rebuild the front of one of the legs.

bumity-bump - Check out these miniatures and let me know if I should take more pics of my ridiculous obsession.
