Thanks!

I'll have another piece done in a few days.

Still figuring out where to source my chessboard... >:(

Man the chess piece figures are looking awesome and love the troopers especially the Ultramarines Scheme. But I have to say being an old WW2 German modeller from way back your pea dot pattern is just spectacular and fits right in with the SW Universe.

Thanks Ron!!

As a big fan of your dioramas, that's quite a compliment.  I'm a student of World War II history.  It's always fascinated and horrified me, kept my interest.

This trooper idea was first inspired by the mod called "Awakening of the Rebellion" for the game Star Wars:Empire At War on PC.  The modder put in special camouflaged troopers for one of the hero ATAT units.

Here is a Work in Progress.

Boba Fett. Western theme, so I switched his rifle to Cad Bane's Winchester. I patched the dents in helmet and cod piece with putty in order to more accurately paint an earlier Boba, with less battle-worn armor. Groundwork needs more more work.

I was taking a break from Star Wars Battlefront PC.

Love the "Rifleman" Boba Fett! He looks great. I look forward to seeing the final dio.

Still working on Boba Fett diorama.  To be honest, I haven't touched it since last update.

But here's my Houston, TX Astros baseball clonetrooper.

Next up, I'll finish up the Boba Fett diorama, and a stormtrooper officer that I'm pretty excited about since I think he looks really cool.

I also finally went and found some wood for the chess board.

Birdseye Maple and Peruvian Walnut!

Found a simple technique to build it.  Now I just need to find something to used as a jig for a circular saw I'll have to use.

This is 8 kinds of awesome. As a huge Red's fan may custom paint a few stormies in their colors.

Pretty nice way to honor a favorite sports team! The woods are really nice, the board is going to be great.

Thanks!

But unfortunately I'm now outsourcing the board to a master furniture maker down the road.  My more logical side won out over my idealist side that wanted to build the entire thing.  I just don't have the tools necessary to make a high-quality board.  It would require planer, table saw, router, random pattern sander, etc.  Way too much investment into a skillset and art form that I'm not ready to get into.  Some day though, I'm going to get into wood-working, but not now.

But I'm really excited about this craftsmen I found.  Looked at his portfolio, and he finds really awesome rustic wood to use, even cooler looking than the wood I found.

I might have him also make me some cool custom wood bases for figurines and dioramas.
