Star wars RPG miniatures/Miniature per il GDR di Guerre Stellari

 This is the first part of the project I have been working since the beginning of December.

I have two more figures to paint and the whole lot of 54 will be done. I decided to split it in 3 posts, based on the basing style of the miniatures. I built 3 mini displays to take pictures, one (in this post) is a starship interior, the second one is a Tatooine street and the last one a forest (Eindor inspired), so each post will have the miniatures based for the specific background.

This first post, as mentioned, is the star ship interior, so all the models that have a grey base and were mostly seen in this kind of scenes in the movies will appear in this post.

The Tatooine one is probably the one with the most figures and last, the forest background is the one with the smallest amount of characters.

WWII Japanese Mitsubishi J2M Raiden/Mitsubishi J2M Raiden dell'aviazione Giapponese della Seconda guerra mondiale

 This week more work from IlVJ. This is a WWII Japanese Mitsubishi J2M Raiden (lightning bolt), you can find more information about the plane here or about the model itserlf here.

The pictures are of the plane in flight over the skies of western Tokyo (from IlVJ's balcony).

Close to IlVJ's home it is still possible to visit some WWII concrete hangars that have been preserved until today.



Questa settimana un altro lavoto del VJ. Un Mitsubishi J2M Raiden (fulmine) dell'aviazione Giapponese della Seconda guerra mondiale, potete trovare piu' informazioni sul caccia qui o sul modello qui.

Le foto sono dell'aereo in volo sui cieli a Ovest di Tokyo (dal balcone del VJ).

Vivino a casa del VJ si possono ancora visitare degli hangar in cemento che sono stati conservati fino al giorno d'oggi.

WWII battleships/Navi da guerra della seconda guerra mondiale

 IlVJ was recently gifted a few 1/2400 scale ship models from his friend Robert, so, given his recent WWII North Africa theatre enthusiasm, got them painted right away with the idea of future campaigns.

IlVJ ha recentemente ricevuto in regalo alcuni modelli di navi in scala 1/2400 dal suo amico Robert, quindi, visto il suo recente entusiasmo per il tearto africano della seconda guerra modnale, le ha dipinte subito in vista di una futura campagna.
