|  For those who don't know who he is, Thrawn is a character from the Star Wars Expanded Universe and 5 years after the Battle of Endor (i.e. 5 years in-universe time after the events of RotJ) he managed to rally the crumbling Empire and almost lead them to victory over the New Republic (the Rebels in the films). He has the distinction of being both the highest ranking non-human in the Empire, and the only non-human Grand Admiral (a rank that was almost directly below the Emperor in status [i.e. only Vader and a couple of others outranked them]). Metaphorical cookie for anyone who can guess which actor is 'playing' Thrawn for my pic  _________________  | House wrote: | | Religion isn't the opium of the masses, it's the placebo. |

| You painted this? That is impressive work. I have read the Timothy Zahn books and always loved the Admiral, I found it unfit for him to die the way he did However, I have no idea who this actor might be... wait...  ... is it Spok (guy from Star Trek)? Don't know the actors name but anyhow, great painting if it's yours Cheers, Radagastbird _________________ www.modelbits.co.uk - 40K and Fantasy bits hot off the sprue!

| Thanks - yes I painted it (well sort of - I used a computer programe and a tablet to paint it digitally, but that still counts as painting if you ask me  ). And yes, it is based on Lenard Nemoy (actor who played spock), and in fact, I used a pic of Spock in dress uniform as a ref for this  ) - please feel free to take your metaphorical cookie *offers plate of cookies* _________________  | House wrote: | | Religion isn't the opium of the masses, it's the placebo. |
