From SanderS: "I find your lack of posts disturbing..." 185 points

Dear Fellow Challengers,

It has happened: I have missed a week's posting and as such am about to be kicked off the Challenge indeed. But before any Minions get a whiff of that I will try and put up some more figures.

As I am being penitent anyway: I should apologize to you all as well for not replying to your excellent posts, real life has thrown all kinds of spanners in the works. Especially at the school where I work since we now need to think of how we are going to grade our pupils at the end of our school-year which is in 5 weeks time from now.

More Star Wars stuff today, as you have come to expect I am sure.This is a piece of scenery I have made on my 3D printer and it is supposed to be a crashed Gozanthi Cruiser (whatever that may be). The original print file (STL)  is in Legion scale and wouldn't fit my printplate so I had to reduce the size to 40% for it to fit.







The figures included are one of my old 25mm West Wind figures (Luke) and a Rebel officer form Star Wars Legions for size.


Next up a load of Rebel Scum.The SW Legions base set contains two squads of Rebel Troopers and I painted these in two different-ish outfits recognisable by the colour of the turbans.






Some specialists in the form of (Scariff)  Pathfinders











There's a reinforcement or extension pack for the Rebel Troopers containing 4 Aliens to add to your basic squads.








And finally the Comms specialist from the specialist box that further comprises the Officer and two droids I have shown earlier.





This brings me up to 25 figures and 1 scenery piece which in total I would score at 185 points. Still on my paint desk for this commission are the Rebel Commandos (Endor troops), a Rebel laser dish (basically Hoth laser but will be painted Tatooine style) and two downed objectives (AT-ST and Shuttle with R2 and Threepio). So off to the painttable with me!

    1. Thanks Iain, I must confess to still like painting Imperials better but these are a nice change from all the white armour.

  4. Wow! You may have been off the radar (I'm certainly not the one to point fingers), BUT you've come out swinging with this brilliant entry. So much to like here. That crashed spaceship is the bomb. Great work Sander!

  6. Fantastic work Sander, but I have to say, that crashed ship takes THE CAKE. Great stuff!

  7. I can't but chime in: the wrecked spaceship is brilliant! I am (gasp) so not into Star Wars, but your figures are a joy to behold. I love how all the rebel characters have turned out, but the comms specialist is really very cool!

    1. Thanks Martijn, even though these are for someone else (as is the nature of commissions after all) they do feel a little like they are mine and yes they have turned out well if I might say so myself ;-)
