I have been off my game for a few weeks. I had a few models needing bases and this was a good one to get me back on track. I bought a few of these legion minis on a big sale. Hoping to sell the finished goods to a friend who has a retro shop that people love star wars stuff at. Did the glowing lighsaber translate?

Here's my take on Yoda. Did this one for a friend of mine who is a super fan. He'll love it.

Next up this month is the Clone Saber Tank. I have primed it white and have started in with an Apothecary White Contrast paint.

My next project is these guys. I have also cut up some old sprues to make these stacks of metal bars.

Next up, four more stormtroopers. And a bonus pic of my finished measuring and movement tools.

Next project: these two. I've started with a base coat of dark grey on the droid and weapons, followed by a wash of Nuln Oil. Base coat and wash for Iden's face as well as for a variant head that is from an old Warhammer kit (so I might be able to use this as a generic RPG character as well.) For Iden I used a darker base coat than for the other one.

I have now started these two. I'm hoping to let washes do a lot of the work on Cassian. Here are a few of the base colors. For K2, I thinned the grey a little bit to let some edges and details show through. Each model comes with a few arm options.

My last project for the month is to repaint my AT-RT. I painted it quite a while ago, and now want to go with a different color scheme. Here's what it looks like now.

The Armoed Assault Tank, or AAT for short, is up next. I might use a few of the extra droids as riders.

Up next are some more battle droids. One episode of the Clone Wars has some B-1 Battle Droids that are programmed to follow R2-D2. I thought I would paint up some for him for Legion. I also want to paint a labor/battle droid for a Star Wars RPG character, so I modified one with leftover Grievous arms. That one got a coat of green contrast paint over the primer.

Next up this month is the escape pod. Here it is primed grey and partially washed with Nuln Oil.

In May I'll be painting stuff for multiple factions. Here is the start of the bunker. First it gets a black wash in the recesses.

Next up are my Tauntaun Riders.

Next up are these seven. I plan to paint them in the same scheme as the laser cannon crew.

I'm very new to airbrushing but I've been working hard to get better at it. Here is the Star Spawn of Cthulu, from the board game Mansions of Madness. The plinth with the flame on it used to be the stand from a Bones Giant Scorpion. Now used to hold sacrifices in place for the consumption of the evil ones.

Hi everyone! My wife and I have been playing quite a bit of X-Wing lately around doing some painting, and so I whipped up a quick T-70 X-Wing repaint between steps on the minis we are painting together! I hope you get a kick out of it: Including my Y-Wing from last year, I've got the starts of a little squadron! Thanks for looking!!!

Hi everyone. After lurking for a while, and enviously admiring everyones skills, I have decided to finally try my hand at painting some of the miniatures I have. Hopefully it will make both my boardgames and my tabletop roleplaying a bit more interesting if one stops playing with gray and white blobs. So I got some brushes, and some paint, and started to slap it haphazardly onto a couple of miniatures out of my Mansions of Madness box.The reasoning behind this was that I could get away with some slightly lower quality on miniatures for a boardgame. A couple of miniatures in and it if fairly obvious that no amount of reading is going to substitute for experience, and that is where I turn to the people of this forum for critique and suggestions. the first miniature I decided to try was one of the shoggoths which got a green coat of reapers muddy olive with a drop of black in it, and then got got coated with some glazes of pure muddy olive. I tried then to highlight with some olive green, but the contrast with the previous layer was way too high, and it looked quite off. the eyes obviously suffer from my inexperience with every single one having some wobly lines. These are where I am with the miniature currently, and I am unsure how to progress with this one.Hopefully there will be some advice for how to improve it further. The images link to my Flickr account to allow for larger images. The second miniature I tried to do was the Dhole from the same box. I tried my hand at mixing my own colors here in order to get something a bit different from what comes in the box of paints from Reaper. The body was painted with a mixture of Rainy Gray, Sunset Purple, and Deep Twilight. it then had shades done with a darker mixture of the same colors, (basically with more Deep Twiligh). The tentacles are painted with a mixture of Pale Violet Red, and Blood Red. There is an atempt at a gradient from Blood Red to Pale Violet Red, but it does not show all that well. Not sure how to move on with the highlight for this one, if I should add more of the sunset purple, the Rainy Gray, or perhaps a completely different purple or gray. Sorry for the long post, and thank you for all advice, even if it should be "stop it you noob!"
