IDLE WORDS !

When I started this thread about the chess set, some of you may recall a conversation with Simon from fantorical blog about how we felt that the pawns from the rebel or good side of the force were clone troopers, and that rebels would have looked better. Well when I was given the set in Xmas 2006 I had only done small conversions, I'd never attempted a complete resculpt, or sculpt from scratch, and had no way to replicate my work short of making every single one individually. Move to now and everything has changed, so I decided that I did indeed want Rebel pawns, and here is the result of the sculpting so far.

Once I'm totally happy I will cast up the required amount and my OCD should be happyish as I didn't bother changing the blaster, but a gun's a gun !! LOL
Next up is General Grievous, I wanted to have a go at this model to test colours as I would like to do Legion, during the clone wars.

Last today is Grievous bodyguard, this model needed the weapon ends cutting off and repositioning due to the bendy nature of the material their cast in.

That's all for today so until next time have fun !
Cheers Dave

    Nice bit of sculpting Dave & a great paint job on the two bots, do you by any chance sculpt on commission ?

    You sure have been busy, Dave. Will you be converting all of the pawns? Knowing you, I'm guessing the answer will be yes. :-)

      Thank you Bryan, intending to cast a full set of pawns from the first one I converted, so they will all be the same, to match all the dark side pawns that are all the same

      Thank you Dai, the pose is the original Clone Trooper, just resculpted, as long as I don't bottle neck them in a corridor they might be alright ! LOL
