"You already got a mess here..." - Olley x Zuckuss

I'll preface this post by saying that I have no plans to make 4-LOM. I'm drawing a blank on suitable base models sculpted by Bob Olley, so Zuckuss here will be my last bounty hunter! On the flip side, I'm very pleased with Zuckuss, given that a few weeks ago I was struggling to work out how I'd make him!


Zuckuss & Dengar team up to track down a lucrative mark.

"Move along...move along" - Second Olley Stormtrooper Squad

These should need no introduction after my first set of stormtroopers, just another group of Kryomek Nexus SWAT troopers. These are five different sculpts, again from the hands of Bob Olley, and again still available from Scotia Grendel.

"Bounty hunters. we don't need that scum!" - Olley x More Bounty Hunters

After doing Boba Fett, the next obvious step was do to more of his peers. Doing all six of the bounty hunters from Empire Strikes Back isn't currently on the cards, but I had some decent ideas for a couple more of the motley crew.


Awaiting details of the next target.

"He's no good to me dead!"- Olley x Boba Fett

I think I said a few posts back that I had no intention of recreating the entire cast of Star Wars with Bob Olley miniatures. However, this is looking like a hollow claim, as I'm now actively working on a the bulk of the principle and supporting characters. I'm very pleased with my Boba Fett though!

"Blast Them!" - Olley Empire Stormtroopers

It was inevitable that after painting up Darth Tevas, there were going to be Bob Olley stormtroopers. This six-strong squad is comprised of Kryomek Nexus SWAT troopers. They are classic Bob Olley sculpts from the early 1990s and are still available from Scotia Grendel.

For the Empire! Olley Imperials

I suspect that I'm now getting too deep into the 'Bob Olley does Star Wars' concept. But I'm OK with it! I definitely need an opposing Imperial force to face off against my rebels. It's the logical thing to do, right?



First up are a couple of characters to lead the Imperials - Darth Tevas and General Viers.

"Get that pilot to his ship!" - More Olley Rebels

I'm now getting to the point where a fully painted set of Bob Olley's Iron Claw space pirates is a realistic outcome in the near future (I have 6 left to paint). This set of three brings me up to 11 out of 17. Happily, there are still some fun characterful figures to come!
