Star Wars Changed My Life!

Oh, I remember that day like it was yesterday....standing in line at the River Hills theater back in 1977. Waiting to see a movie that would forever alter my very soul. OK, so I traveled down the path to geekdom. Big Deal! I embrace my geekiness and now I share it with everyone! Here is the pinnacle of my geek-hood.... Star Wars miniatures painted- and in a few cases, sculpted- by me.

I sculpted the E-wing, since there is none in my favorite scale. I changed a few minor details here and there, but still retained the over-all look.




I also sculpted the cloakshape fighter.



Here are my sculptures next to official minis. I think I did quite well getting the scale correct.






Que up the Imperial March.....















Alright, this should be enough Star Wars for now. There are many more to come....

    These are awesome, glad you posted them. I was such a huge star wars fan as a kid, saw empire in the theatre and the original movie at a re-run showing around the same time. I've never been the same sicne. Can't say how much I loved that stuff and still do. You make these minis look excpetional.

    Wow, thats just awesome, I have also sculpted and converted some Star Wars minis in my preferred scale (15mm) Star Wars was also a big moment for me, my dad was a dead beat, and the only thing good he ever did was take me to see Star Wars when it first came out, I will never forget the opening scene on the big screne, I'm now a follower of your blog.

    As part of TAG Heuer Monaco's 50th anniversary, the brand is launching a series of five limited edition pieces commemorating the iconic square case watch. The first limited edition was made in the spirit of the decade between 1969 and 1979, and now we have got the second piece inspired by the decade between 1979 and 1989. Here we have the TAG Heuer Monaco 1979-1989 ref. Watch CAW211W.FC6467, and while I didn't expect to see a bright red fake Rolex Monaco watch, it looks pretty cool in its ruby ​​majesty. Like each of the five lines that TAG Heuer is releasing, this one will also be released in a limited edition of 169 pieces. This model is specifically associated with the 24-hour race of Les Mans and the now ubiquitous 1971 Le Mans film starring Steve McQueen.
