Sedition War and Antenocitis Komodo- 2013-12-07 update
« on: 09 March 2013, 04:39:25 PM »

I pledged last year on the Sedition Wars KS.

Some weeks ago the 1st batch arrived and - to be honest - I was deeply disappointed by the quality of the minis. The PVC was appalling and huge mold lines were visible all over. But since I am not a guy who easily gives up I scratched, reshaped and primed the minis. AND - after a good coat of white priming the minis was even easier to handle, the mold lines became more visible and I was able to get a decent finish.

The above mini in the centre is a female Sedition War trooper (more or less out of the box, different base and head swap) flanked by some Infinity Star Wars conversions. The goal was to create some Old Republic or New Republic trooper, worked for me.

It's a pity that I'm hearing so much bad stuff about the Sedition Wars stuff. Still you did pull of a good paint job on this one, I hope the others turn out to be easier/better.

That! My box is still sitting there waiting for a couple of missing pieces and then the 2nd part of the pre-order....

Pretty cool Republic trooper just the same.
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

Glad to see a good result is possible.
I also noticed how a coat of primer brought the flash out and thus easier to remove.
The sheer amount of work that will go into the vanguard made me put this temporarily on hold, however, since I played my first game last week I'm tempted to give it another go.
I aim to have the figures cleaned and primed so I can start gaming with 'em and start actual painting thereafter. (last week we used a friend's box, who just glued them, so no paint)
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons,
for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Congratulations on sorting those minis out! I have had similar issues with Mantic's dreadball...

The paintjobs are lovely, fantastic work as ever!

The pose conversions you're doing look really good. I wish there were more variation in the figures! :(

True, some more poses would be great, but at least the plastic is easy to work with!
