Greetings, all!

Here's a few of my recent Star Wars Legion commission work. Almost entirely airbrushed with Tamiya / Gunze Sangyo acrylics, and detailed with Vallejo and Reaper acrylics.





A bit of griming with various Tamiya Weathering Master sets adds the appropriate 'kicked-down-the-street' look that distinguishes something as coming out of the 'Wars universe.



They're quite nice models, by and large; Nicely detailed and sturdy, although I am finding the 'bendy' nature of the figures and smaller parts to be a pain at times. No wonder Stormtroopers can't shoot straight — it's those wonky blaster barrels!!  lol



Hope you enjoyed this little showcase. I've got some Imperial Scouts on speeder bikes to do next. Should keep me busy while we're under 6 days of hard lock-down here in South Australia.  :?

Be safe, everyone.


UPDATE!:

A little more progress in the arming of a Galaxy Far, Far Away. (TM)

Here's a squad of four Imperial Scouts on their Speeder Bike mounts, racing amongst giant trees and risking their third party insurance.



I really enjoyed painting these, brought back happy memories of a wee Martin watching Jedi in the cinema at its first release.



And who can't help but admire the courage of this biker, firing back from the saddle whilst screaming into a 400ft Redwood at 100kph?  :D

Actually, although these were nice to paint, I confess the ground cover was my favourite part. If only there were some Ewoks to add as roadkill...



More to come soon!

Operating from an abandoned US spy base somewhere in the Australian outback, Miniature Martin produces games and scale miniatures set in parallel worlds, past and future. He is NOT trying to take over the Earth. This time.

Lovely brushwork!
