Miniature Paints size testing, finally played the Star Wars X-Wing game, 2 other blogs are giving away stuff and it's fecking hot!

I use Miniature Paints for my Tanned Flesh and Earth Brown mostly with a few others along the way and recently they've started releasing some paints with newer smaller looking plastic bottles instead of their glass bottles and for the same price....so I did an experiment.

I cleaned out an old bottle, put the new container beside the old one and emptied the new bottle into one of the old bottles.......and as you can see there is little difference well not enough to make me stop buying them.......I feel good but not?

Also today before I went into work my mate Vinnie brought over his brand new issue of Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures Game and between the two of us we played the basic rules game (in the garden) and I know we're late to the band wagon but we really enjoyed it, we took turns with two TIE fighters (the good guys) versus the Luke (the git) Skywalker X-Wing, Skywalker won both!! We only managed two games because the sun was trying to fry my brains ( fecking hot today and still is) but good game and easy to play....so far!

Not great pictures but hopefully you get the idea......

I really hoped for breaking news............

I know one of the TIE fighters is back to front.......

Beautiful miniatures.......

Two good bloggers are giving away stuff and have asked other bloggers to pimp them out like Pamela Anderson.........

We have Seb over at Back to the Minis and

Burkhard over at dhcwargamesblog

Ray and myself won some figures to be painted by the very talented Andrew Saunders over at his blog but he uses the term historical miniatures, I'm hoping for some leeway:D

Sorry if it's all too much...here's a group of Princess Leia re-enactors, cosplayers........ what do call a group of Princess Leia's..........a Fisher of Leia's?
