I found this free miniatre on one of the (many) Star Wars Legion Facebook groups the other day.

Now, I know it’s Star Wars Legion, and how sci-fi nerds totally lose their sh*t when anyone mixes up their worlds (like Marty McFly claiming to be Darth Vader from the Planet Vulcan) but if you’re going to create a model which looks exactly like an Alien Visitor from a 1983-mini-series, well…. you’re just inviting someone to paint it up like an alien visitor from a 1983 mini-series…..

Hell, I even printed a little propaganda poster and painted a big red V on it….

Here’s the @lloyd shot:

And a close up (which never really does the paintjob justice, as it shows every tiny imperfection!)

I’m still undecided whether to submit it as part of the contest or not. I suspect that for a few of the nerds, it’ll be like crossing the streams in Ghostbusters. Starting from a -100 points position doesn’t auger well for any competition entry! Still, it’ll make for a nice little two-nighter diorama, if nothing else.
