Yeah I had a look last night and it wasn’t. Probably a bit too much going on for the Amiga to handle, unless you had an accelerated A1200 or A4000.
Dune was a lot of fun, although I do find the single unit control a bit clunky now. I’ve gotten so used to dragging around multiple units I’d forgotten you couldn’t do that!
Damn the neighbors… shake the rattle-can… and man the spray booth!
A final look at the antenna farm “bling” before primer.
Tamiya (87064) Fine Grey Surface Primer (rattle-can) happened today!
Even with flattened tires, the twelve wheels managed to roll in for their fair share of paint.
Progress. …

I am liking it Mike.
Not much of an update, added some sheet plastic to cover the holes and glued the wings in place.
Ryan, beautiful X-wing. Although it seems to have been hit by a turbo laser on the top right engine nacelle?
Any thoughts on camouflage and markings?
Good catch. I am planning the UA scheme from the Resist poster.
The what now? What poster you have a link?
Edit: I found it on google. That will look absolutely awesome!
I hope I can get something close. Based on your comment about the wing I glued the rest of the parts. As I recall the ship had a hard impact when it fell on the hard wood floor, even the wife commented that didn’t sound good from the other room.
A little more work is needed on the base before painting. Not sure what color to do there, I was thinking black and Resist on the front slope. Kinda feels to on the nose.
Another small spray for mankind…
I got motivated to put some paint down today.
• Bomb Carousel: Tamiya (87064) Fine Grey Surface Primer (rattle can)
• Folding Bomb Bay Door: Vallejo Deep Yellow (70.915)
• Tow Bar: Vallejo German Panzer Grey Primer (73.603)
The door will get masked and painted with black stripes next.

You put so much work into this. My hands are red from clapping… no S&#T!
@ H.G. Thank you for the very kind words. Please don’t injure your hands though. We’ll be needing them to point the way to success.

I’m in. I don’t know what to build yet, but I do have many Sci-Fi kits.
I’m going to build my 3-D printed 120mm Sci-Fi female soldier figure from @Petition2God. It requires minuscule to no cleanup and after a wash, I can start priming and painting. No assembly is required…printed in one piece.
I’m aiming to try something different…painting it florescent pink and gray to add some variety of colors to my display shelf.
Why not stick to a variety of shades of pink as a form of DPM, and configure the basing material/terrain in similar tones?
Cheers,

Here are my (first) entries for this campaign.
Agnete Kallus, Darth Vader, and Lando Calrissian. All in roughly 1/48 scale.
I Will also do Boba Fett and Moff Gideon as well for this campaign.
This is the way!
This is the way - may the forth be with you
@Trisaw - I like the look of that figure- there is a lot of detail packed into it. Your color plan sounds pretty eye catching too.
@SGTJKJ - Great looking set of minis there. Literally nice from the ground up as your basing is top class. Love the way you’ve got one particularly bright, colourful piece of detail per figure- that yellow cape is particularly nice.
Thanks for the comments
On Lando I really wanted to go a bit crazy with the cape. In the Han Solo movie we see how many bright colored capes he really has.
Another spray session…
Caution stripes for the Bomb Bay Door.
• Vallejo Deep Yellow (70.915)
• Vallejo Black (71.057)
… and the Ground Equipment got some colors.
• Vallejo Light Orange (70.911) + Bright Orange (70.851) [Ratio: 75/25]
• Vallejo Deep Yellow (70.915)
In addition, I added 14mm to the Tow Bar length so that clearance for the HANOMAG SS-100 Gigant “Schwerer Radschlepper” Heavy Tractor won’t become an issue.

Some nice vibrant colours there Mike
