Good, gooood.

Congrats if you read that title in the Emperor's voice. And it is very good news for him and his guard, and for Craig's Imperial forces, that I have completed this little quintet.
You will join us, or die.
Yup, so that is Sheev all done with 4 of his tough Imperial Royal Guard. I always wondered about that. After all, Palpatine wasn't a King, why were they a Royal Guard? And isn't Imperial and Royal in the title just a bit redundant?

Luckily I have put together a Rebel unit to fight back against them.
For the rebellion!
You might recognise these chaps from the very first scenes in A New Hope, or the very last scenes in Rogue One. Yep, Rebel Fleet Troopers all eager to get chopped to bits by Darth Vader. The movie might be titled a New Hope, but these chaps pretty much had no hope. At least they got to be in a cool scene.

Another thing coming to fruition today is this house for Burrows and Badgers, made by Sarissa Precision.
Scrap outside the hovel!

Wait! We can keep fighting on the inside!

Enough room for a good old brawl!
You may have noticed some furnishings - a chair, a couple of stretcher beds, some jars and sacks. I wanted to make it look like a little lived in, without cluttering it up. Painting the wood grain on the roof and frames was relatively easy but time consuming.

Finally, a camp for the Marlburians. It is pretty bare, but I wanted to be able to garrison it with a full unit, hence the space in front of the tents.
Adding troops to it will help it to come alive.
I just want to say sorry to commentators on the last post that I didn't get their comments moderated until this morning. The moderation thing is a pain, but otherwise you'd be vying for space with Thai casinos, or something like that (the internet - such a wonderful creation for pains in the arse). Needless to say, I value every comment I get, and try to reply in good time. I just got a little busy last week.

    1. The Sarissa buildings are lovely. Not necessarily the easiest things in the world to build, and they need a bit of love to paint them up, but the results are worth it.
