For the last 34 years my journey through this thing called life has been fuelled by the worlds and words of Mr Lucas.
Hi Commander,
Wich rule or rules do you intent to play with ?
the problem with the AT-AT driver/TIE pilot costume was that the stormtrooper/rebelpilot combo helmet was it was so massive... always looks fine on action figures and in the comics and what have you, but on a person always looks so weird...
can't believe you had that stash for 10 years and did nothing with them...
what conversion work did you do on the AT-AT driver? you didn't say...

I still have a most of the WEG figures, one gameshop bought all the loose figures from Grenadier and sold them individually. Can't decide what to do with them. ???
Wow! Great project. Very much a fan of yours though I hope this doesn't mean that the halo project has been side lined! Awesome project though!
You must have spent a fortune getting all those old minis together. Congratulations! This project is going to be great.
I think you should give up and sell me what you have there. ;)
The Emperor's Coming here? [/b] :D
Second AT-AT finished. Pictures to be seen soon in this theatre...
Is that all the storm troopers you have?
Shame. ;)
I have actually 64 of them.
How did you manage to get married again.....
;) lol
Like I said, is that all....
Jedi mind trick?
Like I said, is that all....
;)
I must have around 200. :D

I then get a bid retraction...the guy's two year old son has smashed it to pieces! :o
Damn shame mate - it could happen to anyone. :(
On a brighter note, I got 2 shiney new wotc AT-ATs in the post today, so its not all bad news.
:D
I'd always promised myself that I'd so something with them rather than horde and horde, (every lead head's addictive promise!) but recently with a great disturbance in the force, came the opportunity to do something.

Ok, bit fishy so I press the issue. Rover was disposed of in the bin in bits and the bin men have been.
So rover is no more :'(

I've also got a good few Actionfleet ships which I'll post up in due course.
:D
Whats inside the Bounty Hunter Box?All of them?
i could stare at these Pics all Day long.Whats inside the Bounty Hunter Box?All of them?
Sounds a bit more like, 'we wanted at least £10, so we want to retract the sale'. ;D
Fancy selling me some Aliens? ;)
To be honest that was my thoughts but as Matt said to me it sound so rediculous it could be true.
Just when I'm out of spending money. Couldn't you just PM me... ;)
Look on the bright side - lightning doesn't strike twice.
:)
BTW i remember having a Luke on Tauntaun Mini somewhere on my Lead Pile,i could dig him out for you, if you dont have him allready ;)
I was thinking the same thing, after all the things we've done for him...etc.
Probably you getting people to close auctions early as the second one has now gone too. ::)
Such as...?
Buying WEG minis off me for one price, but then wanting a 50% premium, when you offer to sell me some.... ?
I'm not complaining about the price (no one forced me to buy them), but its hardly a "favour" is it?
;)
Yes mate, i'm behind a global conspiracy to deprive you of your toys....
lol
Ok from now on this thread is about my project not 'my vaders bigger than your vader'!
VW transporter, a more elegant vehicle...from a more civilised age. She'll make 0.8 past lightspeed.
Mark you have started another trend my friend! lol Now there are several people doing Star Wars!
Or is it a gaming group project?
Darkoath
Have you used that stuff, is it any good?
You could use some decals if you don't want to mess painting such details on small helmets.

watched that over the weekend... the effects are good... script is bloody awful and the gag's are typical fanboy stuff... Troops did the fanfilm better I think...

and that skull and cross bones is really dissimilar to anything in the Star Wars universe, really kills the look...
Received a little bundle of loveliness through the post Friday from the US:Well Comm V, i guess you did have something in the works didn't ya? :-)
where do you get all these figures ?Isn't it obvious? He has a contract with the Kaminoans to clone figures. :-)

Seriously though I've been collecting these for a good few years
Exactly what I did to gather my WEG SW minis...
Ok so had about 40mins to myself tonight so had a little play with a pair of snowtroopers.
As I've said before, the issue with WEG minis is that some ranges come in only one or two poses. Case in point with the snowtroopers, one pose, which is a little...lets just say limiting. But hey they are (were originally as cloning was outlawed by the Emperial Senate I know! ;)) clones after all. :D
So with limited pose and limited options I've been thinking about ways to add a little difference. So I've converted two of the poorer quality castings, (which needed a bit more clean up) from normal E-11 Blaster to Long barrelled blasters (BlasTech DLT-19 Heavy Blaster Rifle), (or MG34's to you and me ;)).
So into the WWWII bitz box and two BAM MG34's and a bit of clipping and carving I've swopped the weapons over. They don't look three bad, ideally the limbs should have been cut and resculpted but I'll save that task for the E-web cannon operator I've got planned.
Camera's charging so pics hopefull later if not tomorrow.
In the meantime a little mish mash photo of stuff seen, stuff to finish, stuff to base and stuff pulled out of the attic, the two AT-ST's are the KFC toy giveaways (from '97 when the triology was special editionised!) Yes woefully out of scale but gaming stand in until I get the ActionmFleet ones, but perfectly usable I reckon..

I've got shed loads ... WEG are true 25mm and whilst a little crude in places. I love em.
I have a bunch left I want to get rid of. PM me if you want them.
those hoth guys are the best painted weg minis I have seen in a long time too.
See the galaxy they said. Leave Tattooine they said. Meet new people.
Where did I end up up? Alien liasion on HOTH! That's where....

Poor little bloke. Very good idea though - a lot of scrap metal to loot there now... :D
Looking really good, are those fenris bases for the droids?
Are those vaporators metal? They look to have been rp'd.
cheers
James
rp'd? No mate printed plastic.
lol
I don't know, ask a simple question...
;D
cheers
James
Elllo!
Right then, at Salute I got the last set of moisture vaporators that brigade had with then. Based up with a quick and dirty PJ this is what ive put down: I will be weathering em down a little bit more later tonight.
Enjoy
Yup printed sir.
Link? Or at least the name - vaporator doesn't show up on Brigade Games website.
Time flies eh..... ;)
Brigade games still stock em. Bought another four at this year's Salute so expect a few damaged and burning ones very soon. ;)
Any news from your Star Wars Project Commander?? :-*
Things planned. Looking for a good 25mm sculptor at present for a little project i have in mind. ;)
Somebody has been a busy boy whilst going AWOL.
:D
Great stuff.
Love all the conversions.

Oh, and that Power Droid cracks me up as I keep seeing the legs trying to go in opposite directions as the Jawa mechanic puts one set on backwards during 'repairs'..
lol
So WEG conversions.
As u can see, being a gamer of a certain age I have no issue with cutting up old lead.
So armed with a fair few Ithorians i fancied doing s few more force users. Twins: one turned to the light, the other fell to darkness. (I also love the idea of a dual blade jedi sabre too!).
With a third I added a little silly sunhat for a tattoonie denizen. (A little stretch gonk idea I'd seen before that i fancied trying out....more later).
Sabre hilts drilled for acrylic blades.
May I ask were did you get those blades from?
I hadn't checked out your Star Wars thread in many months, so I got to see a whole lot of WEG goodness in one shot. I love it all. The TX-225 looks amazing. I'm really looking forward to seeing where this one goes.
Oh, and I now need to get some extra jawas, because I really need a Hoth Jawa.
That's a hell of a lot of updates. Some fantastic stuff too. I do love the Outer Rim Bounty Hunter.
And I have to agree. The Eisenkern sets a chuck full of conversion material.
Wow. You have been busy.
You aint seen the half of it! ;)
Fantastic paint on these. The Shock Trooper looks amazing. Especially for a WEG trooper.
But I have to ask...Stormtrooper Bath and Body spray?
Nice, can resist lava but not a stone thrown by an ewok ;)
Wonderful thread!
Did you make the 1:1 stormtrooper armour from scratch or purchase parts as a kit?
Lovely work :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
The only thing you have missing from the moisture fram are the burnt skeletons
Good spread of stuff there 8)
Few more shots and the gaming table.I like this table, good scenery all around and a solid SW feel.

Battlekiwi mdf laser cut. Nice piece, added two imperial symbols using stencils.
