I have been so very busy getting ready for the Summer Convention Season and the first one is only weeks away. Origins 2012 (May 30-June 3) is being held in Columbus, OH and I travel out there each year to meet with good friends, run a few Star Wars RPGs, do a little hobby shopping, take some hobby classes, and drink too much! I have been editing a couple of Star Wars modules (which will be run at Origins) which has taken up a fair amount of my time lately (along with working 50+ hours a week). So to reward myself a little I decided to paint up my roleplaying character for use this summer.
I would like to present to you: D'Abu'Da Abassk, Sullustan Privateer and Hero of the Rebellion!
The miniature comes from West End Games from the mid to late 80's! There is not a whole lot of detail (and what there was is not cast very clearly) on these old miniatures. The miniature also came with a solid metal base which I cut off so I could attach him to a resin tech-base (to represent the starships he usually can be found on).
I have had a couple of requests for photos which include something to give the miniature a sense of scale (especially useful with this tiny miniature) so here is a picture with a US Dime and a British Pound coins to give it a sense of how small the miniature is:
Thank you for stopping by and taking a look! Take care!

Ahhh, I can see why there is not much detail. Something that small would have; I think, been hard to sculpt, let alone make a detailed casting. Thanks so much for the scale/coin!
ReplyDeleteThe miniatures from the 80's are from the beginning of the hobby. The technology was nowhere as good as it is today so the detail was not as sharp as we see today. Thanks for looking!

Great work man! There's not much to work with on those old SW minis and you've really made it pop!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joel! One down and 200+ still to go! It was a nice little 2 hour break.
