ok, Now some proxy: My Bespin will need some Bspin Wing Guard.  Since WEG Didn't Sculpt any Bespin Guard -what a loss- i had to investigate several possibilities in order to create some proxies.
First of all my excuses for the pics, my camera can barely focus such tiny items ( mental note: a camera for Christmas). Second, i have to improve my blue palette.  Anyway , that's the idea.
i put the stormtroopers for comparison. new palette for my stormies. Happy with the results - even that they're WIP. annoiyed because now i have to repaint all the other stormies again :P

Hello Kidterminal!
They're Proxies actually ;)

I had looked in the old  real 25mm companies in order to work on some modifications, as i needed some order forces for my "Bespin" battleboard.
The one on the right is from Ral Partha. Discontinued. Iron Wind Metals is producing a reculpted one - with a chest armor and a double barreled gun. Sadly, i found the new armor too bulky. the others are from GZG. they needed some work by eliminating badges, equipment bags,  and the like, and a bit resculpting on the caps.

You said the Stormies are WIP so presumably you're planning to paint the black parts, um, blacker? But yes, I would certainly say you've got the white perfect!

If you're doing any kind of Star Wars project, you're never done painting Stormtroopers.

this is my wild die sculpting roll!! never again i'll do anything alike lol. quite fond on the result. given that i tend to over size the sculpting, i've decided to do a GREAT MISSING character on WEG. Though the head is still a little big , Grans tend to have it bigger than humans.... ;)
The Sullustan Droid technician. I had a spare 4LOM body ( i used his head to convert a 3PO into a Zuckuss). I must say i found extermely hard to sculpt a face without loosing its simetry. that's why i had to put it a cyborged implant  ::)

Heads are very hard to do often you have to sculpt the general shape hen add the face later to keep from messing up the face. These are good efforts now I want some grans myself!

While finishing our Bespin Scenario, which we hope to test on January, the 2nd,  we wanted to keep the SWMB rules reminded ;)
Thus, we organised a little scenario in which the Imperials needed to recover  some special equipment from a previosly attacked supply convoy.
The Rebels, on the other hand, using hit-and-run tactics, were awaiting for an ambush.

My good friend Criamon sent me the pics just to show you some little captions.

Here you got some of the imperials, keeping a cautious formation.
Some of the Rebels forces, awaiting hidden.
