Seeing as how the new year has started I thought I'd try something different. Paint a complete set of an old range.....and have decided on Garrison Miniatures Star Troopers from the 70s.
Lost Minis WIKI Link (http://www.miniatures-workshop.com/lostminiswiki/index.php?title=Star_Troopers)
Starting with ST11 Young Hero

Arhh, a bit of nostalgia here. I bought some of this range in 1978(?) at the Model Engineers Exhibition at Wembly conference centre.
I was deligthed to see a range of figures based on Star Wars at the time. (This was Heaven for a 12 year old at the time.)
Oddly enough I came across the very same figure a couple of weeks ago at my parents house. You have done a much better paiting job than the one on my figure. lol
Thanks for bringing back memories of a carefree happy days. :)

ST16 Space Pirate with Pulse Rifle - not sure if this is the correct mini as have never seen a picture. This is ST15 with the rifle, Rob at Garrison minis seems to agree they were the same mini, different weapons.....please let me know if otherwise.

Great stuff! I always love to see people re-do old miniature lines! I like seeing how miniatures have developed over the years. Your painting is superb! Spot on!
