That is a very nice camo paint job, and some good weathering on top!

 

Thank you!

 

Here's everything I painted this year. I managed to get at least a few things done for each of my armies and game systems.


Happy New Year!

 

I've been building some Jedi using the new customisable Jedi kit. The box let's you build 2, but with some extra bits from other kits I've managed to stretch that to 4 models.



These 2 were made just using the bits in the new kit:


This one was made using a head and arms from the new kit, with the body from an extra Obi-Wan model:


And this one has a spare head from a Rebel kit, arms and legs from the Jedi kit and a spare torso from an Anakin model:

 

Nice Jedi conversions!

And well done for 2025, you painted a lot of lovely purple stuff. Really like those skinks.

 

Thank you! I can't get enough purple apparently

 

An impressive amount of work. A productive year I would say!

 

Thank you!

I post all of my models on instragram so it wasn't too hard to check which ones were from this year luckily.

Thank you

 

I've also been building some Super Tactical Droids from the new customisable kit.

This one will be a support focused character:


And this one will be a frontline fighter:


I've managed to cobble together a 3rd one from a bunch of spare bits. This one is still a WIP:

 

That's cool, he looks good!

 

Thank you

 

I finally got something painted in 2026. A couple of Crab Droids for Star Wars Legion. The base kit is mono-pose so I had to convert one to avoid duplicating the exact stance. I also magnetised the two different weapon options.
They were quite simple to paint and were good fun.

 

Those are cool. Great weathering effects on them!

 

Thank you!
The weathering really brought the models to life

 

Love it!

 

Thank you both

 

Love the green crabs! And as always how great and alien those bases look . Could be a planet taken right from no man's sky.
