So I started watching Sorastro's painting guides and decided it was time for me to finally take the plunge into miniatures painting. I have never painted anything before doing these and while I am very proud of most of the outcome so far I will probably be re-doing a few of the figures because I think I can do a much better job now that I have a bit of experience under my belt.

Love the magnifying glass. I should pick up one of those. Especially if I can get one of those jeweler's ones with a light in it.

Ya I got that one from Amazon for like $6, it has been well worth it haha

Nexu are up next to be painted..... And I'll post the pictures of my officers tomorrow, I painted one of them to look like Grand Admiral Thrawn!

Four words: Darth Maul Water Cup.

If this truly is your first time painting ever, you have some serious natural talent there that must be explored...by painting more models!

KEEP IT UP!

Thank you very much Fizz, and yes indeed I have never picked up a paintbrush until I started on the Stormtroopers. If you like the Darth Maul mug hit me up with a PM; I have a very close friend who does custom mugs and I will give you her information.

Imperial Officers

Elite Nexu

I was a bit tired of all the white/gray/black I had been painting with so wanted to add a bit of color to my Nexu. The other one I am thinking of doing Purple with Lime Green spikes. I know they probably aren't "approved" Star Wars Nexu colors, but I wanted to go a little overboard with my Nexu haha

I am so using your Thrawn paint job for the Imperial Officer. Nobody will have to guess which one is elite.
