FIRST OF FOUR

 Firstly sorry still no pictures of the aurora, having trouble transferring them to the computer (Stupid new computer, not having the buttons in the right place ! LOL) but will hopefully get that sorted over the weekend, but I have finished the first squad of Imperial troops a scout unit, these models are standard construction straight out of the box, the only conversion was turning a tree stump to a rock under the squad leaders foot. 


Above you can see the squad leader, sniper and explosive's scout, these are different poses to the original Fantasy Flight Games models. Below are the standard troopers of the unit.


These were all painted using the technique I showed a couple of posts ago, so now I have two Stormtrooper squads and another squad of scouts to finish, so they should be coming up soonish ! LOL

I have some health updates today as well, firstly I've had the stitches out from my operation, and the wound is healing well, and the control and strength is retuning in my hand. This week I also got results from a recent scan of my chest, the fluid build up is reducing, which is great news, and hopefully means I wont have to be drained again, and also the cancer has not thickened or expanded since I started my treatment, to me this is great news, perfect would have been a reduction, but maybe next scan ! LOL

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

Cheers Dave

  2. Scouts look the biz matey! Explosive Scout though should not be his name - he'll get a complex. Perhaps, Demolitions Scout would better fit? LOL

    Super happy to read about good health news! Onward and upward I say!

  3. Really glad to hear about the positive developments with your health. That is always something to be celebrated! The scouts all look great as well. They might be my favorite stormtrooper configuration though I couldn't tell you why, maybe I just really like Return of the Jedi. The real question will be, can they hit anything when you use them, in-game!? :)

    1. Thank you Jeff, nice to be able to share positive news for a change ! LOL Being they are part of the Imperium I doubt they will hit much, but will have to wait and see ! LOL I like all the different armour that has appeared in the many different films and series, and is hard to pick a favourite.
