EyeSeven's Paint Log

I really like the speeder bikes, nice job

"So guys, I'm ready to play Star Trek Legion."

Audible and uncontrolled laughter all round

"Guys? What? Star Wars Legion? You sure? I swear it said Start Trek! Well, er, I just finished my Andorian though.

Right, back to the Star Wars universe it is!

Right, the second squad is now done with a couple of quick conversions to make them stand out a little more. It also includes the most casual ion shot ever!

This also means that the rebel side of the core box is complete which is a big achievement for me as I am the world's slowest painter.Next is the second stormtrooper squad to complete the core box but they may take a while as I am playing with green stuff and the weather (for a change!) is really quite nice.

I am behind you. Core Imperials are done. Luke has first coat of paint and AT-RT is glued, but not to the base yet. The rest of the Rebels aren't started.

After life got in the way I have finally completed my second stormtrooper squad with a leader inspired by an image I saw on the net which in turn made me sculpt with some green stuff for the very first time. I think this squad are an improvement over the first ones so progress!

The back of the leader ...

This means I have finished the Imperials from the core set ...

A combination of airbrush and a stencil. Amazed how cean they came out as neither is a flat surface.

Those stormtroopers are glorious!

Thanks! Any tips on where to get the stencil? I've scoured eBay and finally found one on etsy from the US, but I'm in the UK and they wanted £12 to post it! I've tried making my own by printing out a symbol and carefully removing the printed bits with a knife to leave a stencil, but I'm just not good enough to get it looking neat/clean.

anyway, great job. ?

I totally could see Shran running around like that. And I read some of that like him... Yeah.

Thanks. I’m in the UK too. I got mine from ebay in a range of sizes and delived for £7 all in. Do a search using ‘imperial airbrush paint masks’ and you should be able to get what you need at reasonable cost. Let me know how you get on, keen to see results.

OMG thank you! That's exactly what I've been looking for - I was using the word 'stencil', which I guess threw the search algorithm off. Cheers!
