212th artillery support Tie Bomber WIP
« on: May 13, 2012, 06:22:50 AM »
Hello I'm new to this great forum, I've watched from afar for a while now and have gained much inspiration from the stunning work I've seen on these pages.
I've been a fan of star wars since I was a five year old being taken to see A New Hope in 77 and over the years as a youngster was bought a lot of the original figures and vehicles, sadly these were all given away by my mother and all I have left from those days are my Yoda and Han Solo (ESB be spin outfit).
I've been collecting vintage action man (G I joe in the US) and didn't think I'd venture into collecting/customising Star Wars as room and money are always a consideration.
This changed last Christmas when shopping for presents for my nieces in a toy shop.
I looked at a Clone Wars Commander Cody figure, and on a whim bought it, after being much impressed with the figure the next day I bought a classic stormtrooper, this became a daily occurrence and since dec last year my collection has boomed.
I enjoy customising and weathering toys and I hope to show the fruits of my labour in these pages,
First off a test
