    I finished off this Crashed Escape Pod terrain piece for SWL. This came with R2 and 3P0 and has been partially painted for a while.

    Thank you :)
    I decided to put a little bit of effort into the burners to really sell it as being a used escape pod.

    Amazing work, man! The gradient on the scale is done very nice and I (still) love the purple-turquoise colorscheme on your skinks.
    Great work!!

    I tried out my airbrush for the blending on the shell and then highlighted afterwards.

    Wow those are some gorgeous models, they remind me of some enemies Samurai Jack had to defeat in the far far future, I may have to purchase a unit of these!

    They do have the feel of Samurai Jack enemies yeah! They're cool models and they were fun to paint.

    So far March has been mostly building and priming models so I have a variety of things to choose to paint.
    I have managed to paint my 6th and final unit of B1 Battle Droids though.

    Great work on those. I love the uniformity across all your B1 droids.
    And as always: marvelous weathering

    Grrr, !mrahil

    I've not taken a group shot of the army for a while, I'll try and get a picture soon.

    I'm really glad I decided to use an alternate colour scheme for them.
