Hi All

damonsfast - I find that Vallejo Paints are brillant and they have such a great diversity of colours, I also use GW paints as well but mainly washes.

R2-C9:
he was with the Republic Fleet during the Clone Wars  ,then passed thru several owners before being procured by the Rebel Alliance ......





and here he is with his original incarnation  R.O.T.S. R4-G9

i personally would like to see bossk...  second to fett he was always one of my favorite of the ESB bounty hunters.  That, and I think troopers are a little over-done, you don't see many bossk customs!

Well, I decided to go in a completely different route than I had originally intended, mostly because I couldn't settle on colors and patterns.  So, and don't ask me how, I settled on doing a McQuarrie Concept Blue Star Snowtrooper...

In the 1980s, there was a Turkish knockoff Star Wars Snowtrooper called "UZAY Blue Stars."  These were Snowtroopers, painted blue with yellow and red highlights.  The image of the original figure is here...



Now, I pulled a McQuarrie Concept Snowtrooper from my shelf, deciding to go this route.  I did so, mostly because it was like a double-concept to me.  I do need to paint the rifle white, as in the original picture above, and I also need to go back and touch up the eyes on this.  However, here he is, my UZAY Blue Star, if Ralph McQuarrie had decided to go and do some concept art for it.

pat that has got to be the most left-field entry yet.  Perfect! I love it.  the idea is great, The old vintage knock offs are an interesting piece of the star wars history that most NOOB fans don't even know about.  I was only introduced to it a few years ago while researching boba-fett figure variants...  there are some interesting (and realy shoddy) coppy vintage figs from other countries out there...

as far as the paint work goes, I definately agree with your personal critique, the eyes need tightening up and the gun def. needs to be white.  If I were you I'd also go out and get a cheap can of clear matte or flatt clear spray paint and coat him in that to cut down on the glossyness.  It's too shiny.
