Oh My God. PhotoBucket is letting me post some photos. Lets do this before it changes it's mind.
(And I swear the focus was better before I downloaded these onto my computer. Time for an upgrade.)

First up, a pair of Wampas, for imperial Assault



I gave only one of them the full bloody claws and teeth look. Sometimes I want a grizzly looking monster and sometimes I want something a little more serious.

and here are four HK Assassin Droids from Imperial Assault.



For the HKs, I went with a metalic green color I found in an image search. I'm not a fan of the dull brown ones that kept coming up. Now I wish I'd done two in green and the other two in different colors.just for variety.

That metallic green looks great.
Is that straight out of the pot or did you mix it, or are you drybrushing metallics over a green base?

[Michka]

For the metalic green I painted the figures steel, with a heavy dry-brush of silver over that. Then I covered the whole thing in one of GW's Green shades, Biel-Tan Green. From there I painted the black areas with Vellajo German Grey, followed with a Nuln Oil shade. Stippled all over with with more German Grey, then stippled with more Silver. Paint the gun and done.

Sorry hubbabubba. That was a lot more then you asked. 

[hubbabubba]

Not at all, very clear explanation.
Thanks

Got a few terrain pieces for tonight. Staring out with two Action Fleet toys.



The Ronto is basically just a repaint. I pulled the small Jawa off the back, since he was just too small. The Escape Pod was cut on an angle, glued to the base and done. Oh, and a bit of painting as well.

These are two Generators from Secret Weapon.



These looked really nice in the package, but once I got them primed I was surprised at how rough the surface was. I'm used to a certain amount to rough texture on Shapeways stuff. I just don't expect it on manufactured stuff. They turned out well in the end, but I'll look a little closer next time.

That's a shame about the lines! Thanks for the heads up, I was going to get these! They painted up nice though!

[orc]

[ThorinXV]

I really love your painting anderen weathering. Really realistic and dirty as I like it. So much of inspiration here. Hope to See more stuff from you soon.

[Michka]

Hello Everybody. Thank you for all the nice replies. About a year a a half ago, I posted shots of a Hutt I was sculpting. I considered getting it cast, but that never really went anywhere. Just got too distracted with other things. Well a couple weeks ago I saw Sculpey the Hutt sitting on a shelf and decided it was time to paint him up. So here he is.





All in all I'm pretty pleased with how he turned out. Though I have no idea why he turned out so shiny. I dull coated him three times so far. I guess my dull coat doesn't like this weather.

[The Breaker]

That is a cool looking Hutt!
