Tie Fighter vs X-Wing Fighter: Star Wars 3D Chess Pawns


Dog fights in space! The Star Wars 3D Chess Set features the TIE Fighter and the X-Wing fighter as the game's pawns. Both are mounted on pedestal bases. The both pieces look hefty enough and look good on the board. Up close though, the X-Wing suffers a bit in terms of chunkiness in detail as well as a lackluster paint app. One thing to mention though is that both pedestals are adorned with symbols depicting the two opposing forces -- the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance.



 The emblem used for the Imperial forces though looks more like the emblem for the pre-imperial Galactic Republic with thinner bars -- although the number of rays is correct.

Migrating to Facebook

After a tragedy in the family and a slow return to my hobbies, I've realized that I've been posting more on Facebook. It's easier, faster and the audience response is faster. So, posting here might be spasmodic at best for the time being. Bear with me as I decide what to do with my blogs, thanks!

Custom ARAH Duke

Here's another repainted Duke with some new ammo packs made in putty. This is a custom painted 1993 Battle Corps Battle Commander Duke. One of my early experiments with epoxy putty. I have another version of this figure on the workbench so expect to see it soon here too.
