OFF THE WORKBENCH

 Been a while since I've done one of these, but didn't feel like painting this weekend, while working on commissions, so instead used the time I had between drying times to build some new models instead which will help with next May's Monster May(hem). First let's start with my favourite realm Star Wars, I wanted a Eopie, as these appear a lot on Tatooine, once the basic model is finished, I'll take a cast so I can have some with baggage or a rider to help populate the streets.


Next is a Correllion Hound, these were first seen in the movie Solo, but have since appeared in multiple series, and will fit in well with the crime boss I built a few years ago.


Now we move over to the realm of 40K for a Khymerae, as GW haven't released a new model for these and the old ones are really expensive on Ebay, I've started to build the first of three I need to finish my Wych army.


Last today is another Great Knarloc, you may remember I already have 3, an original Forgeworld one and two I've already built, and I'd been hoping that GW might release a plastic one, which doesn't seem on the cards, and the price on Ebay is extortionate, I've decided to make some more, this will be a second with a mounted weapon, then I'm thinking of doing a couple of more without riders or baggage.


That's all today, hopefully I'll have something painted by Friday, but we'll have to see, so until next time stay safe, and have fun !

TIE PILOT'S ON PATROL !

 

If you watched Star Wars Rebels the series, you will have seen an episode where TIE pilots were actually sent out doing normal troopers work, as every man was needed to find a missing Rodian who had the Imperials data that could spell trouble on Lothal. For me however I'll probably just be using them as pilots that survive crashing their vehicles during games. this also means I have finished all the conversions and painting of what I received for my birthday, not a bad turnaround for me, just over a month to complete my haul, while busy with all the commission work I needed to do.


Still want to get some transfers for the helmets to finish them off, but that can wait for another day.

That's all for this post, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

Cheers Dave

SCOUTING AHEAD

 

Today I have the box of scout troopers I got for my birthday, I think I now have enough scout's as this makes 14 troops, 6 bikers and 4 with E-Webb cannon's from Imperial Assault, which is a pretty strong contingent I think. Below is the 3 specialised troops, sergeant, sniper, and demolition trooper.


Below is the standard 4 troopers that come in the box.


I know that we never saw scout's on Tatooine, but for all we know they could have been in the garrison for all we know ! LOL I'm going to call this contingent of my Imperial forces done, but still plenty more to go. That's all for this post, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

RINSE AND REPEAT

No this isn't dejavu, just more of the same ! LOL First is the second candelabra, I did one of the candles blown out and smoking on this one, just to add some interest.


The second set of stairs my client asked if I would leave off the balustrade, and is currently deciding which he prefers.


That should have been the end of this order, but added a new piece yesterday, so that will be coming up at some point ! LOL I have however repainted my old Imperial Assault Dewback, after I did the new one I wasn't happy with the old one, this is what he used to look like, for those that don't remember that far back.


Here is what he looks like now.


You may have noticed I added some back hair to tie in with the other one, this was a simple addition with greenstuff. That's all for today, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

Cheers Dave
