    Very nice work!

    My 6 year old Son saw this and said: "that's very cool" and I can only agree with him ;)

    Grrr, Imrahil

    Mostly finished 2 squads of B1s now. Working on bases at the moment and then all they need is a varnish. Droidekas next I think!

    I like those robots! The minis look great with the wash; how are you going to base them? Tatooine desert?

    Thank you! I'm going for a Felucian jungle theme with the bases. Hoping to have the bases done in the next couple of days.

    Bases done and the 2 squads are now completed. The Separatist occupation of Felucia begins!
    Next up is either 2 squads of Clone troopers or 4 Droideka.

    The first clone trooper for my custom 79th Battalion is done. Mud splatter and staining will be added when I do the bases for all the troopers.

    Finally finished my 2 squads of Clone Troopers. Progress has been really slow since I started back at work unfortunately.

    BARC Speeder is finished! Got really into the weathering on this one. 2 gunner options and a removable sidecar.
