Imperial Beach Assault

A squad of lightly armored Imperial troopers cautiously emerges from the scrub and begins to descend toward the location where their sister squad was last in contact.







Suddenly a thunderous crash as a mortar round erupts.


The heavy gunner lays down blistering covering fire while the medic scrambles to administer aid to the fallen officer.


"Forget him, he's already dead, we gotta move!"


These last ones are unrelated, just thought I'd throw them in here from another beach trip I took a week or two ago.

Thanks a lot

Yay great seeing the grunts in action again. I guess they don't know why they are there and why they are fighting, and in Star wars logic, this is probably a Beach planet. It's entirely made out of beaches.

That Bren gun thingy is beautiful. Didn't the Dune in Mando use something similar?

The extra stormtrooper pics are fantastic, especially the sandsplosion one.
How you paint, equip and photograph them makes them appear like actual persons, and the  stormtroopers who are known as cannon fodder now look like elite soldiers next to the grunts, something that our beloved short Han Solo movie scene also achieved in a way.

Gorgeous. Few can make action figures, especially ones this size, come out looking so natural.

Awesome! I felt sorry for the guy whose legs got blow up

Thanks a lot for checking this out, folks!

Ovy, that's totally Cara Dune's blaster, I repainted it a bit and gave it a strap.

I've been experimenting a bit with practical and digital effects, I find I can get pretty good results by taking a burst of photos while throwing sand at my figures, then working in some smoke and such digitally afterwards.

Holy cow those last three are fantastic! But the others are, great, too, of course. Well done! Lots of love has into into taking those photos.

Thank you very much I had a fun time assembling these guys, and photographing them was great, too. Happy to finally get these fellas out in front of a lense!

I rarely check out anything in the non-sixth-scale section as the sixth-scale is already overwhelming me...

but these are really cool shots.

All this incredible stuff coming in 1:12 makes me wonder why sticking to 1:6 when the same space can store so much more in 1:12

It can definitely help save on space, getting 1:12 stuff.

For awhile.

Thanks for checking this out, I appreciate it.

Awesome! I love the dirt splatter!
