Star Wars: Bad Lip Reading
The Bad Lip Reading YouTube channel can be good at times. Their bad lip reading of the classic trilogy is pretty funny, especially when characters just start singing for no reason.
All the accents and pronunciations are great (C-3P0 is Indian, R2 is a little kid, Chewie can talk, Bib Fortuna is a black guy, Admiral Ackbar is a fish) it just goes on and on. Worth the watch.
Star Wars Armada: Painting Boba Fett’s Slave 1
I painted Boba Fett in the colours found on the movie model and not the standard FFG paint scheme. I re-painted my X-Wing Scale Slave 1 the same way. Here are some reference pictures of the movie model if you’re thinking of doing the same thing. Continue reading Star Wars Armada: Painting Boba Fett’s Slave 1
Star Wars Art by abcartattack
Here is a bunch of Star Wars themed art from abcartattack (Bryce Chisholm). His “street” spray paint stencil style shows us just how much Star Wars is part of our culture. When you take a step back, you can really appreciate how very American this art is.
George Lucas’ Legacy before Force Awakens Hits Us

Star Wars Armada: Painting the H-6 Bomber
I wasn’t really sure how to paint this model. I had an idea of doing stripes on the wings, with some red to tie it into the red rebel ship theme, but other than that, I didn’t know what would look good as a base colour.
Star Wars Armada: Painting Jan Ors
In painting Jan Ors I tried to copy the X-Wing FFG model scheme. After cleaning the model I primed in black using P3 Black primer. Always use many thin coats (4+) as opposed to a few thick ones (3 or under).

Star Wars Armada: Painting Hounds Tooth
If Star Wars has giant space worms living in asteroids, then why not have a ship look like a giant stapler with dorky fins? That must have been the logic behind Bossk’s famous ship, The Hounds Tooth. I decided to paint my Hounds Tooth to look like it had seen some bounty hunter action, and very beat up for it. Continue reading Star Wars Armada: Painting Hounds Tooth
