Hobby Update - Rebels

Some of my friends are into 3D printing. I went the other way and got myself a Proxxon hot wire cutter. As Luke said this is effectively a bandsaw for polystyrene.

The cutter literally goes through polystyrene like the proverbial hot knife. This is great for cutting styrene into regular strips. I can get almost perfect squares easily and making things like stair treads is done in seconds and they are all the same size.

Next I need to work out how to make circles.

I have been painting some more Imperial Assault models. I painted up my Rebel troopers.

These are a variety of Smugglers and specialist soldiers.

These are some standard troopers. I converted the Saboteur at the front left with a head from a Gripping beast Arab. The models are then tied together with a similar paint scheme. There is enough variety to give the Rebels something of a militia feel to them 

I also made a Stargrave party out of the character models. These are some classic heroes from the original movies and a crew from the Rebels cartoon show.

I'm not the only one having Fun. Here is Nile watching some Cattv on YouTube. She was sitting across the room and when she noticed the mice running in and out of the hole she chirped and ran across the room. the  she decide that she wanted to be closer so pressed herself right up against the screen.
