Fortunately we are not staying on Cybertron and immediately catch the next shuttle to our arranged meeting with The Client on Nevarro.
There is certainly something Machiavellian about The Clients motives, he's offering far too much for far too little, this is not going to be as easy as it initially appears.
Onwards to LV432 and our final destination of this post.
Moff Gideon, Ra's al Ghul, Gus Fring and many others, whenever Giancarlo Esposito joins a series you can be sure that things are going to go really badly for our hero. It was a really, really bad idea even coming here and I'll be lucky to get out intact!
All the figures are 3D prints and were gifted to me by my good friend Drew.
Three Star Wars: Legion figures at 7pts each and a couple of smaller droids are likely worth two per piece is 25 points, adding in three location bonuses will add 85 points to the board for me.
American Civil War Duel Totalizer: 87 foot (504pts)
Napoleonic Duel Totalizer: 8 foot, 2 mounted (100pts)

Wow, these 3D prints all look amazing, and the brushwork is fabulous. It all looks incredible - not a surprise, given your proven brush skills, but I am particularly drawn to the "fizzy" look you managed for Moff Gideon's "Dark Sabre". Something about that weapon that seemed a little off/different from the other light sabre-type weapons seen in the setting. I get that same feeling looking at your finished figure. Very well done. I have no doubt the other Star Wars fans in The Challenge will be along to request possible sources for these lovely sculpts...and I will be watching for the answers!
Now...60 points of bonus points on 25 points worth of painting? I also have no doubt "The Client" will be in touch for advice on tax returns...
Greg
@Greg thank you.
ReplyDeleteI thought for a while about how to do the Dark Sabre and after buggering it up the first time repainted it black and then added a harsh white highlight along the edges and some 'interference' along the blade,
LMK if you need help with your tax returns ;)
So you made the blade black? My mind swears it is dark purple...no doubt a side effect of the show in my head...again, well done...
DeleteCheers Greg, maybe a black-purple with a lilac highlight would have worked
DeleteLovely stuff, Paul! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Tamsin
DeleteI was wondering when we’d see some SW stuff from you Paul. All wonderful.
ReplyDeleteCheers Peter, happy to oblige ;)
DeleteWonderful painting and I love the building as a back drop- looks like a great piece of terrain.
ReplyDeleteThank you, it is a 3D print painted by Mrs SS.
DeleteGreat looking Star Wars group! I also like how you rendered the Darksaber.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dave
DeleteGreat figures and backdrop, I really like the wee droids, they look so harmless!
ReplyDeleteCheers, MikeP
Thanks Mike, these very chaps were in the Book of Boba Fett episode again last night ;)
DeleteGood looking Star Wars figures, well done! Very similar to originals.
ReplyDeleteThank you Teemu
DeleteAmazing models and oustanding painting work
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteGreat job Paul! Do you happen to know which company makes the 3D sculpts? Would love to get my hands on the same ones.
ReplyDeleteCheers Samuli, unfortunately I don't as they were a gift from Drew.
DeleteThe liner has such a wonderful morose evil-ness about him. I like the rich colours of his robes.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sara, this print really catches Werner Herzog in the role
DeleteSplendid looking star wars characters!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you Iain
DeleteAll very nice indeed. Great work.
ReplyDeleteCheers Bruce
DeleteWonderful work Paul. The variation in the colour between the two types of droids is a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteCheers Millsy, they were both ridiculously easy to paint.
DeleteSpectacular work, Paul. I absolutely love the blue bounty hunter droid. Might he have been a Mad-Droid in a former life?
ReplyDeleteThank you Nick. Likely, I do have a medical droid like that.
ReplyDeleteBloody awesome!
ReplyDeleteCheers
DeleteSuperb figures, so well painted too!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ray
DeleteLovely work on all these.
ReplyDeleteThanks Barks
