Another Imperial Assault model today. This is the miniature of Luke Skywalker from the Imperial Assault Core Set – depicting “Farm Boy” Luke running around on the Death Star after the trash compactor with a Stormtrooper Belt and an E-11 blaster.
There’s a lot of white on this version of Luke. I’m happy enough with the boots, legwraps, pants and belt, though his robe/tunic seems like I may have gone a bit too tan/brown with it – though to be fair it does look a little different in different lighting situations.
These images I’m looking at are blown up SO much in the editor that the model looks really average here, but it’s actually a really small model. The early IA models were smaller than the ones that came along later, and of course Luke is supposed to be “a little short for a Stormtrooper”. I’ve added a disc to his base that I created to raise IA base sizes to the same as the ones from Legion.
And here hs is alongside the Legion models of Bespin Luke and the recent IA model I painted of Thrawn, who I’ve also mounted on a lift-disc – which completely turns Thrawn into a giant compared to both the Imperial Assault Luke as well as the large-scaled Luke from the original Legion Core box.
This version of Luke is the last model that goes towards both Dave Stone’s Paint What You Got Challenge 25-26, and also count towards Anne’s 2026 Miniature Assembly Challenge as he was a mold line cleanup situation done in January.
Next: February’s Round-Up!
Azazel's Bitz Box. 
Excellent work mate, and depending on the contrast of reference pictures Luke’s tunic seems to go from pure white to tan, so it works for me.

Thanks Dave. I’m sure I’ll end up with another figure of Luke in this outfit at some stage (does Shatterpoint have one? I’m sure Legion will bring one out eventually!) and then there’s always 3rd party options. Next time I’ll give the tunic a cooler tone so I’ll have both.

That is a really small mini, wow. Its probably the simplest Luke outfit to paint but I’d say you did well with him, mate. He certainly looks the part next to Thrawn and his bigger clone there 🙂

Thanks mate – the Legion models are a little bigger than standard GW (well, maybe not the more recent upsized-again GW human scale) but the first Imperial Assault minis were much closer to 28mm or even 25mm (to the eye) when everything else was trnding towards 32mm. Plus Luke is in a low pose – but even with all that, he’s a little short there!

Thanks John – it’s really one of the Classic Star Wars Luke poses from the original film, isn’t it? 🙂
