Liberating yet another vacation destination from the Empire!
Last week we went on vacation for the week, spending part of the week with family in North Carolina and then a few days in Washington DC. As with our trip to Tennessee earlier this year, I figured that there would be some down time in the evenings, and so brought my paint box and some minis (or 'dolls' as my wife's aunt called them) along for the trip.
A few token vacation pics.
A USMC M-60, my favorite tank of all time!
The lighting in NC left a lot to be desired for painting, but was much better at the Airbnb in DC. That said, I was able to get all of these painted to a state where they were ready for inking. We had the weekend at home to recover from the trip during which I was able to finish these minis off.

Yes, I really mean recover! It was 100 degrees every day in DC by the way...
MPL-57 Ion & Z-6 support weapon specialists.
They both have backup blaster rifles, neither of which will ever be used.
A basic trooper and the squad's token alien, a Duros. I just saw on Wookiepedia that the Duros' eyes are red, so will touch that up here shortly.
The Duros will be the squad's leader, as he (?) is the easiest to distinguish from the others.
Two more basic troopers, the guy on the right is still my favorite sculpt out of this old set.
I went with a motley assortment of colors on this squad's kit, unlike those squads that I've painted in the past.
Lastly, another R2-FU Astromech to repair the AR-RT.
Edit: looking at these pics, I wonder if I should go back to using the camera on my old phone...
