Having got into X-Wing and then Armada (almost got IA but it was released so close to Armada i could not get both) I was down at my local store and thought i need a iconic model, so browsing the blisters I picked up General Weiss.
Although it has been a while since I have properly picked up a brush I watched the excellent videos from Sorastro and then got stuck in, an evening painting later and I am happy with the results so far...and now the game is on order too...
