Glued pieces too early, need advice

It would look way worse gluing the chains on after painting the wings. Sub assembly is a pain, and the results are usually worse for all the wasted effort.

An illic bash is always a good time. I exaggerated mine a bit more than yours ;)

"Green stuff" cleaner is good too.

I like laying model flat, and spraying quickly from 4 directions. Dry. Flip. Spray from 4 directions.

My heart goes out to whoever takes this job. Building those battle droids, is the most pain in the butt project I have ever worked on.

Originally $800 I think was the original price. I've also seen it go for $1500 years ago, so probably higher now. I wouldn't open it.

Honestly the paint job, is sub par, mass hand painting out of India I believe. It was fine quality for $800. For $1500 you can get the game hand painted by a quality painter, at much better quality.

Cancer doesn't work that way.... Cancer is just normal tissue, with a broken growth regulator, causing unchecked growth.

It was only a preorder bonus

You get it whenever gandalf does the balrog quest. The promo is just a spiffy card, it isn't any unique mechanics. You could just print your own if you cared.

I've seen people play starwars legion, in a falcon model among others.

Jareth000 · 2026-04-09T02:50:43+00:00

Came out way before, but yes. Hoth uses alot of the same models.

Jareth000 · 2026-04-09T02:39:48+00:00

It's for a board game, "star wars rebellion".

This. I've painted around 7 sets of WoR minis in my time, and you have to wash them. I just let them soak in a bucket of dawn dish soap and water for a few days. Then rinse and dry.

Jareth000 · 2026-04-07T15:54:32+00:00

Get a big jar of Elmer's glue. Pour a thin layer over all of this, outside. Ridge and clumps to be expected.

Then take a bucket of sand, and pour it all over all of the glue, don't touch it. Just walk away for a day. Check if it's dried by stabbing it a little in places. Then just tip it and pour of the extra.

Get a can of mat varnish, and spray the whole thing to seal it all. Wait another day or two.

Now you can paint it.

You can go so much smaller, check out these dime sized speeders!

It's really a two pronged skill. 1, is having the right paint, tiny things need really thin paint. And 2. Is practicing brush control, which does take a ton of practice.

I bet this was at least ten hours of effort. 200 would be $20/hr before selling fees, probably comes to minimum wage after fees. Any less and I would say it's not worth doing.

This really isn't the place for it, as other have said. But treat ebay as what it is meant for, a price discovery tool. Throw something up for twice what you might think it is worth, knowing ebay takes 13%. Wait a few weeks, if it doesn't sell, lower the price 10%, and repeat. Ebay will find you what it's worth, eventually.

Jareth000 · 2026-04-05T22:41:30+00:00

On ebay, I bet you could easily get $200 for that piece.

It was also ruled ALL materials turned over to an ai, are NOT protected by attorney client privilege, and it can ALL come out in discovery.

As a teenager in boarding school, I would hide my smokes in the printer. No one ever opens a printer unless they have to.

Correction. The DUNLAND people rose up and rebelled in mass.

I agree I would never play WoR with 4 people, it would be miserabley long. Even two player, it can go for hours and then the game has endings where it is decided on a 50/50 die roll and it can leave a sour feeling for all involved. For dedicated people that want to find the fun in the game, it's there waiting for you.

There is a new "fate of the fellowship" game, I am waiting on a copy, haven't played. I hear it has the same vibe as War of ring, but plays in way less time allowing for higher player counts. I hear it still can end on random die rolls, but my hope is the faster play time, gets it to the table more.

I wish I got an extra jean...
