I always enjoy seeing variations of white in the same mini.  Great job.

Care to share the secret of the creamy cloth?

White is one of the more difficult colour to paint and you did it very well : fantastic snowtroopers.

Akky has got a lot to answer for - I spent the day converting and painting a Flash Speeder into a Mos Eisley version... :)

Lovely PJs BTW.

The only person I blame for my own extended dabbling is myself. These figures have sat in their respective boxes for far too long and I'm working through them as we speak.

As with Matt and his Aliens project, this is a life long love finally being worked upon. I was five in 1977 and as Old Ben Kenobi said at the time:

[Obi-Wan]You have taken your first step into a larger world[/Obi-Wan].

And I never looked back. :D

And anyway Matt I'm not just doing Hoth...;)

Back to the thread:

Michi:


Lovely fresh paints as always, really inspiring stuff.

the yellowing of the cloth is great. Looks really good. I always like the WEG minis. Hope you have some more to share.

I'm doing Hoth in a different scale (1/whateverthehellscaletheoldamtkitsare)
Lovely painting on the snowtroopers, look fantastic as a group. I've got a few floating around somewhere.

If they are floating they arent minis and more likely bits of polystyrene ;)
