[TheDizmo]

Luke, I am your Father...... sorry I had to. the Darth Vader Mini is just amazing looking. great job Judge and thanks for sharing.

[JudgeGudge]

@Catachan1brainleaf Thanks, I did think that not being able to find any in that pose was odd myself. Like you say it's a classic pose.

I still play west end games d6 Starwars TOOONS better than the Wizards of the cost d20 tons more stuff on jedi and ships and stuff. as for the mini I have no clue However I wil lbe contacting that guy about seeing oif I cant get my hands on some Troopers and Vader for myself..

[JudgeGudge]

@Malivictus Thanks, I was mainly just curious as to where it came from as I couldn't find any trace of it. It's nice to know there are people out there still using these models, because they are really quite nice.

I forgot hyperlinks crash the comment o.O annoying as hell, anyway all that rambling I forgot to say loving the Sith sweet job on the saber and on all that black, nothing like making it tricky for yourself when trying something different keep up the vids mate

[Gerrcinn]

they're discotinued dude there was another run in the mid '00s that also went the way of the dodo :( however I did find a guy try knightmodels . com

who does 30mm and 70mm Star Wars figures, a little pricey compared even to GWs Finecost but as 1 offs for painting they're stunning got the 70 Maul and it is pure Nerdgasm in metal form, I live in the UK and it did take about 4 weeks to arrive but worth checking out I fancy a Obi v Ani from the 70mm next hope that helps bud.

[JudgeGudge]

@Gerrcinn Thanks, I'll check them out.

[linkinhearts666]

[JudgeGudge]

@linkinhearts666 Thanks, I pretty happy with it. It's the first time I've really tried osl.

[Phiggins81]

Gotta love the missus for random car boot finds

[JudgeGudge]

@Phiggins81 Oh yeah she does find some stuff. That reminds me I have a Grey Knight Terminator somewhere she got me for 50p.

[Phiggins81]

[JudgeGudge]

@1Valinor1 Thanks

[Harbaugh87]

They were for WEG's Star Wars RPG. I believe it was Ral Partha, but they were licensed for the WEG game. Hope that helps!

[JudgeGudge]

@Harbaugh87 Thanks

[conn12347]

There are a lot in that range!

[conn12347]

FOUND IT! Just put "40210 star wars miniatures battle starter set" in google images and there it is!

[conn12347]

i have afew editions of the star wars monopalys and its not from the ones i have a good idea though there may be others

[JudgeGudge]

@conn12347 Thanks, yep it now looks like it's from Westend games.

[shepharda74]

It kinda looks similar to the old Monopoly figures

[JudgeGudge]

@shepharda74 I did think that myself for a while.

[Generalsplatton]

Nice job on Vader! I have no idea who they're from.

[JudgeGudge]

@Generalsplatton Thanks

[1996justus]

looks good but his cape is black

[JudgeGudge]

@1996justus Thanks. I used the blue to offset the red from the saber and thought of it as more atmospheric light rather than the colour of the material.

[Tarragonable]

Well, I can't help with sourcing the mini, but it does look very well painted! I'm not sure if the OSL is quite 'neon' enough, but the fact it has OSL at all means it is very nearly beyond my abilities :P

Well done!

[JudgeGudge]

@Tarragonable Thanks, actually the wife commented on the colour of the sabre and osl. Next time I find a Dath Vader mini I want to paint I'll try and improve that.
