I painted Luke Skywalker with his X-Wing pilot outfit and R2D2.

Are these WEG miniatures closer to "true 25mm" like GZG, or more to 20mm and 1/72 scale (like Elhiem)?

They fit perfectly with the GZG 25mm, I bought some to use as different rebel forces and imperial local non stormtrooper pdf type forces.

Thanks :)
Yes these West End Games/Grenadier Star Wars miniatures are true 25mm. Fine miniatures to fit alongside WEG SW are: Ground Zero Games (I'm planning to order some), Denizen miniatures (yet received some), some of the old Grenadier and Ral Partha ranges too.

I painted the classic West End Games Darth Vader for my Star Wars games.

I painted two classic Stormtroopers, 5 more will be painted in the next days.






A groupshot of the Stormtroopers with Darth Vader


I was an active member of the 501st Legion Italica Garrison between 2001-2009. And one of my costumes was the Stormtrooper. Here a pictures of myself, more than 10 years ago, with my Stormtrooper armor (now sold).

Great work and awesome photo.

The 501st looks like a lot of fun. There is a local chapter here I used to see at the local annual Lego show. They were really great at interacting with the kids and helping people enjoy themselves. Amazing work on the costumes too.

I painted a Denizen miniature as the Star Wars character Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra, while two West End Games Star Wars droids as her sidekicks 0-0-0 (Triple-Zero) and BT-1 (Beetee).

I did a simple conversion of a West End Games Star Wars minor jedi to create the character of Ahsoka Tano.





For the conversion and paint scheme I was ispired by this picture:

I know I've already commented on this thread but I absolutely love what you've done so thought it was worth another post.
