MAT8686 52 Posted May 28, 2018 I decided to create, like many others I have seen, an Endor team. I just was not feeling the default color-scheme on the box and have a personal preference towards the lush forests of Endor. That being said, I wanted to have troopers that were a little more dirty looking. Streaks of caked mud and bases that highlight an invasion team that is not on Endor to mess around. I plan to have a rebel squad done next. The large photo can be found here: Endor Subjugation Team. 6 Lost Pharaoh, NebulonB, BigBadAndy and 3 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MAT8686 52 Posted June 30, 2018 Of course it would not be complete without the old man and his son (thanks to Sorastro for the lighting effects guide). 3 Geressen, Doghouse. and wintermoonwolf reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C3POFETT 833 Posted July 2, 2018 Nice work all around on your miniatures. I like how you went another direction painting Luke. Sorastro is an inspiration to so many painters. I like clean shiny armor for my stormtroopers. Honestly the Kenner/Hasbro line has always been my source for painting miniatures all the way back to when I was painting West End Games stuff. When choosing or mixing colors now, I always base them on the Black Series collection figures. They are pretty much movie accurate and can be articulated to a similar pose.

Crawfskeezen 370 Posted July 4, 2018 Hey that looks great! Out of curiosity, what material did you use for the wood on the bases? Is it actual wood or something else? If it is actual wood, did you add it untreated or was it washed/treated before and/or stained/finished after? Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAT8686 52 Posted July 4, 2018 Thanks. Those are real trees actually. I bought one of those wood-wreath's from Joann's actually and just used that. I did not stain/finish it at all, just used it as-is. 1 Crawfskeezen reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAT8686 52 Posted July 13, 2018 We finally have some rebel heavy support ready to fire! I went with a green stripe to go with a forest theme. I am thinking I will add quite a bit of rust to show that it has been in the rain for a while, a very wet planet. Any thoughts on how to improve it are greatly appreciated! 4 Thraug, miridor, BigBadAndy and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bohemian73 161 Posted July 14, 2018 There are several 'rust' colored inks you can use. Recommend you first look how rust forms (not like an overall ink wash). Search for examples on the internet, find one you like and try it out on another model first if possible. There are some rust examples on this forum too. 1 MAT8686 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAT8686 52 Posted July 24, 2018 We finally have the snow-troopers, with the alternative theme. I'll get around to the rebels one day... 5 miridor, Geressen, Qualitypunk and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAT8686 52 Posted September 24, 2018 I finally finished the Rebel troopers. I also realized I keep getting less and less space to upload, so switched to using Imgur. The other squads will each have different undershirt colors to differentiate them, this one is blue. The Fleet Troopers should be up this week or the next. Any critiques/comments always welcome! 2 BigBadAndy and Geressen reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAT8686 52 Posted October 3, 2018 The Fleet Troopers are finally here! The second squad is getting the finishing touches, likely to be done this weekend, but here is red squad. I think this is the best round of painting so far, but maybe not. As always, critiques and comments welcome! 4 Fort Defender, BigBadAndy, DwainDibbly and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigBadAndy 640 Posted October 9, 2018 I really like those fleet troopers. They look nice and bright, but cleanly painted with good shading and highlights. I wish mine were that good. 1 MAT8686 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MAT8686 52 Posted October 31, 2018 Hey everybody! I have finally finished and taken photos of the Green Leader Fleet Troopers!
