I don't remember if I've posted this one before, but this was a Dutch boardgame fair model last year:
Front of a Mimic monster that looks like a treasure chest, with a shield stuck in it's mouth. The shield has a board game convention logo on it, and down on the base is the year 2024. Side view of a Mimic monster that looks like a treasure chest, with a shield stuck in it's mouth. This gives a good view of the cheeks and how the shield is stuck behind the teeth. The original sculpt for the mimic, much bigger than the mini allowing people to see the detail that went into it.

I've got that one!
TWo old Dwarf miniatures from the 1980's. One is a stout warrior pointing his spear at any foes, while the other is an old Wizard with a staff. He is dressed in a red robe with white trim, wearing gold rimmed glasses and carrying 2 large books under one arm. The books have covers in the colours of my (eventual) dwarf army, green and yellow.

Have your lawyers heard of this one @vangelus.bsky.social ?
A small paper bag with a picture of a cool LEGO minifigure on it. It depicts a batwinged villain with a cool purple katana and an amazing white pointed mask with a black straw hat attached. It's named 'Vangelis' in a slightly confusing font, so i thought it said Vangelus, like the Youtuber.

And here's the ones i've painted so far!
#Oldhammer #Marauderminiatures #Warhammer
Five old Marauder Dark Elf models from the late 1980s, painted with green skin, purple armour plates and golden mail coats. AS 80s models they of course have big hair and big shoulder pads. Four of them have a curved sword and shield, the one in the middle has two swords raised high

Side view of a tiny blue demon guy where you can see his little pink tongue and stubby tail.

Hi folks!

Well, i finally got to painting again, and i managed to finish this little guy! He's an old Realm of Chaos Familiar (Daemonet 1 in the old 1991 catalogue) and he's just a fun little goober.

#Oldhammer #Warhammer
Front view of a tiny demon miniature with blue fur and teensy horns, yellow angry eyes and his tongue sticking out the right side of his mouth. He is standing in a come-at-me pose with his arms out and his fists balled. The rear of the tiny demon figure. You can barely see his stumpy little tain from this angle, but he does have one I promise!

Here's the first of my old-school Boyz (And Nikkit the Runt).
I am still working on some moe friends for them.
A small squad of old Evil Sunz Space Ork models from the early 90's, with classic flame decoration on some of their shoulder pads and around the mouth of the big gun. There is als a smaller greenskin called a Runt who is to be the assistant for a Mekaniak (Ork inventor and repair guy). In the background is my old Battlemasters tower with some gaps filles wit green modelling clay.

Today i'd like to share a fun little set that I got last year, but forgot to build at the time. This is the 40658 Millenium Falcon Holiday Diorama!
Front view of the diorama, showing a christmas tree and a table with a turkey and carrot. Behind is Finn in a blue chistmas jumper, with Rey beside him in a fethcing green one. She also has a book with Jedi marking engraved on the front. Also, BB-8 is there with Chewbacca. Along the top is a string of lights in various colours, with a cute little Porg sitting on top. The back of the diorama, showing a bunk bed with a storage space beneath for two lichtsabers, although held by the blade... Let's not think too hard on that, and enjoy the holiday season.

The final day, Day 24!
Here we get: a small version of the Crimson Firehawk ship from a children's star wars series. Also, Santa showed up!
Happy Holidays everybody!
a small spaceship model, the Crimson Firehawk. It has a lot of red, as you'd expect from the name, a transparent blue cockpit and 4 engines, two of which are mounted on the top of the wings. Having looke dup the regular Lego verison, it does look a lot like it! But i would have preferred a Star Wars Santa-like figure. Or the Reindeer Gonk droid from last year! A Lego Santa! he's got black boots, red pants and coat with white edges, a black belt and of course a large white beard. His hat is also red with a wide white band along the edge. He looks pleased to see us, with a sparkle in his eyes beneath grey eyebrows. He also has a licht brown bag in his right hand, no doubt full of presents!

On Day 23, the second-to-last day we get: more vehicles!
This time the classic Luke's Landspeeder and a funky little sled using Uruk-Hai swords from the old LotR sets for the runners!
A micro-scale model of Luke's landspeeder from the original Star Wars movie. It has a curved front end and is mostly beige, with a dark red stripealong the sides. There are two passengers, probably meant to represent Luke and C-3PO. It looks pretty cool, honestly. A small sled with a brown push handle at the back, a red seating area and a golden yellow pull bar at the front. The runners are two dark grey swords like the Uruk-Hai of Saruman had in the Lord of the Rings movies, with the upright hook at the front. Neat idea.

Day 22 is here!
This time we have the Razor Crest, the ship of the Mandalorian, from the show of the same name.
And in the City calendar we have a cute little steamtrain with a passenger carriage.
This is a small version of the Razor Crest spaceship from the Mandalorian TV show, mostly grey with some dark grey engine pods along the sides and 2 small cannon at the front. There are yellow areas on either side of the ship, just behind the guns and below the cockpit. A tiny toy steamtrain, consisting of a locomotive and one passenger carriage. Both have red lower sides, with the loc having a light green top side. The carriage and loc both have dark green roofs and there is a large white smoke cloud coming out of the chimney at the front of the loc. Nifty use of an ice cream piece, i must say!

Day 21, almost at the end! We get... Darth Vader's castle? Guess its from something i never watched.
Also a soldier doll or something? Apparently the kids get a soldier who's as big as them? Ok then...
A smaal version of the castle of Darth Vader, which is a thing that exists i guess! It looks like a triangle with a slot cut out of the middle, all in black except for the red lava flowing out the middle front of the ominous building. a toy soldier, with a black dish as the base, then a blue piece for the legs and a red tunic and arms. The head is an blank yellow headpiece, topped with a dapper black soldier hat, maybe Napoleonic in style. There is a grey sabre in its left hand. WHY anyone would give a child such a large thing to a kid is beyond me but then I'm not a Lego figure either.

Day 20 has another figure! Huzzah!
And a somewhat disappointing Christmas tree.
I feel this one is less nice then the previous years version. Ah well, can't have winners every time.
The Praetorian Guard looks neat, don't remember this one in the sequel movies though.
A minifigure of a FIrst Order Praetorian Guard, the ones who protected Lord Snoke. He's got armour like a stormtrooper, but red and with a cooler helmet with two eyeslits that extend downwards like inverted L's. He's holding a staff with a transparent pink cone on either end as some sort of energy weapon. a Lego christmas tree, very small and with red and yellow lights on every side. At the top is a golden yellow five-pointed star, pointing down by mistake. The tree looks rather rectangular.

And now onto day 19! We have Yoda's Jedi starfighter and a nice snowman!
a Jedi starfighter in the colours that Yoda used for his ship. The hull is grey, with a massive glass cockpit. The wings have large dark green panels and a round blue one-stud piece that represents an astromech droid. a snowman, with twigs for hands and a nice warm red scarf around it's neck. It also has a large black top hat which goes really well with the white head. There is a black trim between the upper and lower body, as if he's got a belt. Very nice, simple snowman.

Day 18 brought us two very different things: a U-Wing for Star Wars and a cute little reindeer with teensy sled. I think the reindeer is very neat, despite being just a few little pieces!
A micro-scale UT-60D 'U-WIng' starfighter and small scale troop transport. It looks like a white triangle with a slot in the tip running towards the middle. It has four engines at the back set in pairs, one above the other. There are some blue spots under the front prongs and just in front of the cockpit. Either side of the cockpit are yellow squares. a very small reindeer with brown legs, dark brown torso and fancy golden yellow antlers. It has a tiny light brown nose and pulls a red sleigh with a green band along the bottom. The runners underneath are light grey. It is nearly as cute as the kitten from earlier in this thread!

Onto day 17 with: Luke Skywalker! And Mrs.(?) Claus! I never know what honourific to use for married ladies.
Lego Luke Skywalker, wearing black pants and a darker green jumper with his old home on Tatooine, including the twin suns. They are outlined in white and red respectively, with snowfall since it's still a christmas jumper. Luke als has his black glove on the right hand, so this is after Vader cut it off on the first Death Star. His lightsaber is silver with a bright green blade. The rear of Luke, showing the other side of the jumer with a moisture vaporator device next to a Jawa Landcrawler, where he met R2-D2 and C-Threepio! I wish they made this and Leia's jumpers as real life clothes! A Lego figure of a lady with lots of white hair, and a santa's costume but as a red dress. It has white trimming and white snowflake decorations on the lapels. She also wears fancy white gloves and holds a book with the Naughty & Nice list in it! She'll need her large red glasses to read the tiny print for sure.

Day 16 brought us: The Ghost from the animated show Star Wars: Rebels and a small snow-scooter!
a small spaceship model of the Ghost spaceship, roughly six-sided with a white hull, and red, yellow and green bits along the centre top. A small semi-circle on the top rear is meant to represent the smaller shuttle 'Phantom' that could detatch in the animated show for sneaking around. a small snow-scooter in blue, with a darker blue front and black handlebars. It has two snowshoes at the front and two caterpillar tracks at the rear for extra grip on snow and ice. There is also a light blue helmet.

On day 15 we get: a 501st Legion Clone trooper and a bunny!
A Clone trooper, his helmet next to him and holding a blaster pistol. He has a grim expression on his face. The blue markings on the armour and helmet indicate he belongs to the 501st Legion under the command of the Jedi Knight Obi-wan Kenobi. a plush bunny with tan fur and beige belly. It has shiny black eyes and is standing in a T-pose with its arms out wide.

Day 14 brings: another spaceship (a Mandalorian Gauntlet) and a remote controlled helicopter!
A micro scale Mandalorian Gauntlet starfighter. It is mostly dark and light grey, with blue tips of the twin prongs at the front. a tiny model helicopter with a neon yellow body, with a dark blue top and black tail. It has landing skids and there is a black walkie-talkie like with the other RC vehicles so far to serve as the controller.

Day 13 gave me: a T-6 Jedi shuttle and a lady wearing skates!
A microscale model of a T-6 shuttle used by the Jedi Knights, with a bricht red v-shape along the top over the white hull. It has 3 licht blue engines in a row at the back. A nice lady wearing a dark blue christmas jumper and a red scarf. She has tan pants and metallic silver skates, while holding a cookie with sprinkles on top. No wonder she's smiling!

And on day 11 we got some special things:
A micro-scale Republic Venator-class Assault Cruiser and a tiny Baby!
Tiny version of a Republic Venator-class Assault Cruiser, looking like a small light grey wedge was stuck in the back of a larger one. There is a dark red stripe along the top leading to the command tower, where in the shows starfighters would launch from. It's amazing how a model so small manages to depict most of the distinct shapes of the 'real' thing! A very small Lego baby, wearing a dark green christmas jumper with a white fir tree on it. They are smiling, probably because of the pale minty coloured bottle that came with them!
