After months of avoiding them, I finished the last three mounted AWI figures I had. These are plastic figures from (I think) Armies in Plastic. I lopped off the tricorns and put some smaller helmets nicked from a HaT SYW Prussian infantry set.

3-D printed Cylons
Awhile back, I painted up some Cylons from Crooked Dice. I noticed that Tangent Miniatures was also offering some 3-D prints so I bought both sets.

Random sci-fi clean-up
Crooked Dice released this dagget and Twiggy combination. Always a sucker for BSG, I bought it.
The dagget fits in nicely with the Colonials I have from Tangent Miniatures.
I discovered this lone Star Wars droid. It is plastic and likely a micro machine? Pretty close to the metal West End Games 25mm one I have.Since my Crooked Dice order had some room left in it before the shipping went up, I opted to add in this Xena figure. Meh. Arms were separate with the join in the middle of the bicep (which sucked). I worry her arms won't survive first contact with my gaming buddies ("Easy here, Lenny"). Tangent Miniatures looks to be offering its own Xena plus friends.

28mm Crimean British regulars
I finished off the first half of a huge group of 28mm Foundry British for the Crimea. These appear to be regulars with some kind of field cap and coat.
These sculpts are from 1993ish and no longer appear in the Foundry catalogue as far as I can tell.

Last few baddies from Imperial Assault
Last of the Imperial Assault 28mm. first up are some baddies. Greedo flanked by two generic hired gun.
I was leery of the palette for these but they turned out okay.
Greedo I figured would be very hard (I hate painting green skin--I can never get the colour right) but the sculpt made it easy.
Up next: Crimea British, I think.

Outer Rim Imperial Assault
First up are droid friends on Tatooine. Then some bounty hunters (and hunted) in lusher climes.
I was super stressed out by Bossk. Turned out to be dead easy.
Up next: A few Star Wars baddies.
