In celebration of May 4th I have been binging some star wars and have decided to post some additional models from my star wars collection. These are some *old school* stormtroopers in the truest sense - from Grenadier Miniatures 25mm West End Games' line dating back to 1988! These two are from the same set as the Vader model I posted previously (Imperial Forces box, numbers SW14, SW15, for those of you interested in the WEG line). Apparently I was working my way through the set when these were completed in 2015.
Like many other models I have painted from WEG, these were speed-painted, so not my best work. Notably, though, these were my first real attempt at painting large areas of white using off-whites and greys. I think it turned out well, considering, and I still use similar formulas for painting white today (though I still avoid it - white is a tough paint palate to work with!). In retrospect, these retro models have been important learning tools in my painting journey.
For the SW geeks out there, it looks like these guys are packing the classic E-11 blaster rifle and a DLT-20A blaster rifle (without scope).
May the 4th be with you & "Long live the Empire!"
