HALFWAY

 Continuing on with the Imperial starter set I've finished the first squad of Stormtroopers using the same painting method I recently showed, the construction of this squad  is straight from the instruction sheet. The first three are the squad leader, missile launcher, and heavy blaster. I painted the Squad leader as a commander, as the only one I have painted so far was the Imperial Assault one.

The troopers come in sets of two of the same pose, this is disappointing compared to the old box, as the whole squad was different.

I can probably mix them around with the old squads to get some variation between them all. To get half way I needed to paint half of Darth Vader, so went further and actually finished him, have to say the thinness of the cloak was really nice, and the details were nice and crisp.

 

Now as promised pictures of the Northern Lights, the first one was taken on the strongest light show in 26 years unfortunately we had a lot of cloud that night so couldn't see much, the glow in the centre is where it is trying to break through.

This next one looked like a cloud to the naked eye but with a slow exposure on the camera showed it was actually the lights.

This last one was actually visible to the naked eye, in blue and green and danced and moved across the sky, it was so strong that it showed through even in a well light area !

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