Title: Happy Star Wars day!
Post by: beefcake on 04 May 2015, 06:02:31 AM
So what did you do Star Wars related today (or whenever it is the 4th for you). Paint some Star Wars minis? Play a Star Wars related game? Boycott the day because you think it is stupid?

I spent an afternoon playing with my Imperial assault boardgame with my son and daughter. Not by the rules and I let them give me a sound whipping.

I wished my wife "May the Force be with you" when we split ways to our works. Oh yes and I am reading Rogue Squadron by Michael A. Stackpole serie.
Happy Star Wars day and may the Force be with you all.

Well I suppose I will have to wear some of my Star Wars appearal. Have a doctor appointment & work tomorrow, so not much time for anything else.

I think I could give a look to a possible small Corellian freighter conversion work...

Wished the wife Happy Star Wars Day, now I'll prep the four corellian freighters on the desk along with a squadron or three of fighters.

I watched my original edit DVD of Star Wars while painting Imperial Assault figures. I listened to the first disc of Heir to the Empire on the way home from work. I'll probably read a Star Wars comic book later tonight, if I have the time. I 'm taking this seriously this year.

Clever plan that!

I have done some conversion work on a Fantasy Flight Games YT-1300, the light freighter that Han Solo used to call the "Millenium Falcon". Actually it is a bit of a mix between the older Corellian Engineering Corporation YT-1250 model and the newer YT-1300. Perhaps a pre-series model or even a prototype. Now there is one more freighter to reinforce the Rebel Alliance in X-Wing games on the table top...

It's 'Liberation Day' here in Denmark (German occupation 1940-1945 ended 70 years ago), so it actually marks 'A New Hope'...

We put candles in all the windows on this particular evening.

I received a few Command sets so I'll open them up when I get home after work.
I'll probably play until the missus arrives.  :D

Painted the last four figs from my Imperial Assault game. 

Nice job on that Yoda, is he 28mm scale?  The sandtrooper is pretty sweet too.

Thank you. Yes Yoda is 28mm scale. I think the wizard of the coast Yoda minis are larger than my version.

I opened the last couple command sets that I hadn't bought up to this point.  Now I need to paint some of the duplicates.

Thank you. The Sandtrooper is from a Star Wars Command Set. Not really scale model quality, but fun.
