Star Wars at TACTICA 2013

Hi Frank,
That's absolutely inspiring.

Could you please share your tips to repaint WOTC miniatures?
Do you strip them? Are you using some short of dipping?


Thanks!

[Frank]

Hi Luke77,

Repainting the miniatures is very easy. Usually I use the original prepaint for the basic colours. First step is to dip/paint the miniatures with a “wash” (I use Armypainter Strong Tone Ink). After the wash has dried, I paint to layers of highlights and some “black-lining” at the end. That’s it…

Here are some more photos. They show my first star wars miniatures game-board, the deathstar.

I'm truly in awe, I checked the miniatures out on ebay but they seem expensive but I guess that comes from being out of print.  I'll add them to my dream wish list...

I assume you are the same Frank whose paper terrain website this is all from?    It's really amazing stuff.

Bloody hell, Frank!

Will you please stop now?

I am not  sure that we can take much more of this.

It is all sheer   




(I was considering a Mos Eisley project for this year, but dont think I will bother now until this thread has left the collective forum memory for a while..... )

Thanks to this truly awesome thread I'm now the proud owner of the ROTS and Hoth sets along with some other miniatures which I'm going to add to in the coming months.  To be honest the original paint jobs aren't all that bad (at least at arms reach) but I'm going to try my hand at improving them though I don't think I'll be able to reach your standard.

The vehicles (AT-AT, AT-ST, Snowspeeder…) are made by WotC, the spaceships (Falcon, X-Wing…) are Revell “easykits”.

Here are two more pictures. They are showing the gameboard of Frank Germershaus. He also sculpted the fantastic Max Rebo Band…

Thanks for info Frank.

Great looking band and board. It's a true shame that Max Rebo band has not had a tour in our galaxy...
