I'll be doing four gaming scales for my Star Wars games. 28mm, 1:144 (10mm), 1:350 and 1:1000.

I've got loads of photos of the 28mm but I'm still sorting through them so for now I'll post the 10mm stuff I've got so far. The figures are from Pendraken (sci-fi range for the 'not' stormtroopers and Falklands war Argentinians for the Rebels). Thanks go to Mick in Switzerland for the heads upon the 10mm proxies. Vehicles are from the Bandai Star Wars Vehicle Line Up range apart from the Rebel command speeder which is scratch built mainly from an upturned y-wing cockpit interior.

Still terrain to do and it'll be Mos Eisley style and I'll be casting them up to make it easier to have a full scale town (they might even make an appearance on the website catalogue). I'll also do some smaller terrain in the form of crate piles and broken starships etc.

Vehicles are mounted on 40mm bases and the infantry on 25mm

On to the pictures, Imps first

And then the Rebels

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/31/2619-010318232837-31607241.jpeg)

The Rebels actually look like American WWII GI's (well to my eyes) but I haven't taken that much time on them as I’d be there for an age painting the details on.

cheers

Hi James

Very nice work there as usual  :D

I'm interested in this scale as well or maybe slightly smaller Xwing scale so more 6mm I suppose.

I have some of the bits from the old AMT kits for Hoth  :)

But I wondered if you had seen this?

Post by: OSHIROmodels on March 02, 2018, 08:32:05 AM
Thanks chaps  :)

Matt, I've seen the ground version of x-wing but I'm afraid x-wing isn't my favorite rules set (too many counters and things to remember). What scale is the Ertl kit 1/00?

6mm would be a good scale as the figures would be more forgiving for proxies  :)
Title: Re: Jim's Star Wars thread
Post by: Comstar on March 02, 2018, 09:01:39 AM
The scale varies a bit but basically,
Troops are 1/144 skinny 10mm. The Airspeeders vary from both sets 1/200 and 1/160.  DF9 Turrets 1/144 walkers 1/220. AT ST 1/300.
Xwings 1/260 and Millennium Falcon Is about 1/240 but Ywing are tuby cockpit 1/300. Rebel transport a tuby 1/375.

As with a lot of models from that period it's very ish scale wise but works.
For Xwing I use sheet print outs with dry wipe pens to cut down on cards and counters on the table.

Hope that helps sir  :)

Cheers Matt

Hi James

I found the old models when I got home and put a tape measure next to them and a quick look on Wookieepedia I changed the sizes above  ;)

Nope, just inked over the raw plastic then drybrushed. Cheating I know but I want them done as quick as possible.

Ah, certainly more suitable for X-wing  8)

I'll be doing my own turrets and whatnot and also looking at acrylic stat sheets for the vehicles as I've started (albeit limitedly ) on a simple set of home brew rules.

Post by: Elbows on March 03, 2018, 12:10:08 AM
Star Wars has always been a "when", not so much an "if" for me.  I know I'll get around to it some day.  It's one of the few IPs I think I'd consider in a smaller scale, though 28mm would be fine of course.  Can't wait to see where this goes.
Title: Re: Jim's Star Wars thread
Post by: OSHIROmodels on March 03, 2018, 07:19:50 AM

Should hopefully start in terrain this weekend.

I know I'll get around to it some day.

I hope it’s sooner rather than later  :)

I suspended my Star Wars Project when I was commissioned to write a book. I will go back to it at some point.

First building done and it will be cast along with the vast majority of the others I plan to do; partly to make town building easier, partly to sell.

Here's the front. Quite simple for now but there are many different forms that these buildings can take so there'll be plenty of choice  :)

Figures aren't up to much but they will almost look like tokens on the board so I'm not that bothered.

I've also dug out my toy Falcon and although it's not quite to scale it'll certainly do for this exercise.

those really do look the part don't they!

While legion has left me cold, seeing other hobbyists responses to it (in the form of different projects) has really given me a star wars itch, and you aren't helping .I've only just got all the tiny foam trees out of my beard from the last lot of star wars modelling i did....

Obviously didn’t get round to posting my original photos  but I have got some new stuff  :)

Solo got me inspired for Star Wars again and so for now we have a rebel trooper (Pig Iron near future) with a helmet sculpts which still needs a tad of a tidy.

And then we have a tree for Endor. This one is just a sample to try the technique and as I’m happy with it I’ll be doing a tutorial next week when I do some more  :)

Nice job on the tree. I could see some platforms and bridges connecting a few of those at a higher level.

Post by: Mick_in_Switzerland on June 02, 2018, 07:20:27 AM
Nice tree. I am looking forward to your tutorial.

I have also been making trees for Endor using air drying clay over plastic pipes.
I had problems with cracking so ended up repairing them with hot melt glue and Milliput and then a layer of tissue.
They will look OK but it was a lot of work.
Title: Re: Jim's Star Wars thread - Endor page 2
Post by: OSHIROmodels on June 02, 2018, 08:12:52 AM
Thanks chaps  :)

Platforms are a possible option but for the moment it’ll be film based (around the bunker and other Imperial installations) and not Battlefront based.

I’ll hopefully be able to do the tutorial later tomorrow.

Good start mate! :-* Are you going to add some knots, branches and branch cut offs to the next trees?

What’s the plan? Just trees or are you building a bunker or(even better) an AT-AT/shuttle docking platform?

BTW you really need some log piles and ewok traps for your AT-ST to trip over!

This one is about 300mm but the other tubes are around 400mm.

Finished him this morning. I've got some alien heads I can use for some of the other troopers, it's just a shame the back pack and airplane slippers aren't separate.

After Tuesdays game, like a butterfly, I’ve moved back to the second most wretched hive of scum and villainy; Mos Vegas  :D

Got plenty of buildings for this already but a few more wouldn’t hurt. This one has a ‘garage’ on the side but whether to leave it open or have a blast shutter in place is a question that hasn’t been decided yet.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/33/2619-130618200504-33742903.jpeg)

Also got some more walls on the go. They’ve only got a base in the middle as the ends should fit on the existing building bases.

So, like the butterfly I am I’ve started to wander  :D Every space port needs cargo and all cargo needs haulers. I’ve got plenty of cargo cast up but no way of transporting it around.

To begin with I had three arrangement options...

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/33/2619-160618015337-33788265.jpeg)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/33/2619-160618015340-33790785.jpeg)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/33/2619-160618015342-337911009.jpeg)

In the end I went for option three (option one was a possibility but the arrangement for three seemed the better one). So after deciding which one to go for I did a very quick iPhone sketch for the superstructure. Engines to the right, cockpit to the left.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/33/2619-160618015343-337921136.jpeg)

The rear engine section has been roughed out (the two black circles are for the engine placement) and the main support beam for the cargo is in place.
 
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/33/2619-160618015544-337962156.jpeg)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/33/2619-160618015542-337951213.jpeg)

Also, I’ve decided to magnetise the cargo pods. Small magnets have been drilled into the ‘top’ of the pods and corresponding magnets have been glued into the support beam.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/33/2619-160618015539-33793425.jpeg)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/33/2619-160618015540-33794843.jpeg)

There will be little brackets attached to the support beam to help keep the pods regular and to also add detail. I’ll rough out the cockpit area next and then work on the superstructure for the beam.

What about instead of a skimmer or ship, what about doing a cargo version of one of these....

(http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a605/andymac2105/Mobile%20Uploads/AECCA359-E925-40B4-92CF-51435BBF33B1_zpsylfhho0e.jpg~original) (http://s1286.photobucket.com/user/andymac2105/media/Mobile%20Uploads/AECCA359-E925-40B4-92CF-51435BBF33B1_zpsylfhho0e.jpg.html)

They made a cargo version of the AT-AT in Rogue One, so why not one of an Imperial Juggernaut? It would make a good plot point for your games too!....raid the Imperial convoy. The piece you’ve made could easily be adapted to make it. Just go with the same design aesthetic as your cargo hauler, a main backbone, with a cockpit section at the front and a boxy bit at the back.

Quite possibly but the front of mine will/should be quite tall  :)

What about instead of a skimmer or ship, what about doing a cargo version of one of these....

I did think of a wheeled/tracked version but given the terrain on Tatooine I thought a ship would be more practiced. It can also be used for space actions which are an intention at some point (using the Bandai 1/72 ships).

I’ve always fancied making a 28mm jugganaught but it would be huge lol

Post by: OSHIROmodels on June 16, 2018, 03:54:09 PM
Managed to get a bit more done on this whilst waiting for other things to dry, namely the front bit. It's still quite blocky and the cockpit needs to go on the top (see picture below) but the form is getting there. The spine will be a lot thicker but I need to have a look for some suitable struts that'll fit.

It's not really Star Wars without gubbins filled recesses  :) Only the one on this ship but there'll be plenty of Star Wars styling panelling to make it feel at home along with plenty going on at the rear around the engines.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/33/2619-160618141933-338012445.jpeg)

And here is a iphone sketch of what the cockpit will potentially look like. I need some more thought on this but the general idea is to have the 'glass' projecting slightly over the prow. I might need to take off some of the top front of the prow but we'll see (I'm making it up as I go along lol)

Dude, this is Mos Bibbly. You're thinking of Mos Ogdenville and Mos Haverbrook.

That is a rather nifty build, straight lines and angles and all. I must admit I had hopes for that cargo lifter from Solo when I saw the new topic header, but this is quite special already (although I must say the overall layout doesn't exactly go "Star Wars" for my taste - still, given panelling and greeblification, I'm sure it will fit right in).

Droids. Back row are bendys, front row are scratch built

I'd looked at some of the unarmed bendies for civilians, but quite a lot of them aren't particular nice sculpts. A baggage laden ronto would look cool too, with the possibility of it going amok mid game.

Got a couple more Endor figures done even though the weather lends itself to not being able to paint properly. The advantage is of course that everything dries really quickly so I can get them finished in one sitting  :)

Alien rebel trooper. Really pleased with the way the head turned out (it's from Crooked Dice).
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/34/2619-080718111817-34187247.jpeg)

Then some bendy plastic scout troopers.  real difference in the sculpting on these but hopefully it won't be that noticeable on that tabletop. Scout trooper poses are really limited so I'll have to do some chopping around to get some variation.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/34/2619-080718111819-341891531.jpeg)

Without being too daft - what do you use for the bases, because they're ace too :D

The bases for Endor are 2mm acrylic with some gloop applied (the gloop is a mix of filler, glue, paint and very fine sand). it's roughly painted and inked and given a thin, uneven layer of small, mixed green spongy flock. Suitable 'ferns' and plants are then stuck on.

The Tatooine bases are again 2mm acrylic but this time with sand glued on and a layer of textured masonry paint applied over this, a thin wash of the GW warm brown ink (can't remember the stupid name) is put on and then mostly dabbed off with a tissue.

The same methods apply for the larger bases as well.

Got persuaded to make a quickie bunker entrance for an Endor game on Tuesday (as if I didn’t have enough to do already  ::) ). Lasered walls with styrene additions. Quite a few things ‘wrong’ with it but it’ll certainly do for a game. Still needs a baseboard as well and I’ve started to rough that out.

The colour might be a bit wrong but I had to use my Tamiya sprays as they’re the only ones that give a decent finish in this heat.

Those go without saying  ;D

I’ve got the turbo laser tower that I’ve been meaning to add a different top too (dish).

The other thought is to do interiors. There’s a great deleted scene of the rebels just after they break into the bunker and come across some storm troopers before they reach the control room. I also made a start on a hanger a while ago that could be pressed into service.

Well, they got a point - right now, I cannot see the woods for NO trees.

That bunker is already marvellous, though. Dare I say, endorable. I really like how the colours work together as a cohesive whole, yet provide a distinct individual tone to each component of the piece.

The impetus of the Build Something Contest has inspired me to get a bit more generic terrain done for Endor. For now a cliff face for the table corner.

The gaps between the larger pieces will be filled with ‘off cuts’ of the plaster rocks then the tops will be smoothed with filler, then gloop and painting  :)

Should fit stylistically with the bunker and terrain boards.

Temptation has taken the better of me and made me start on a landing pad for Endor. It’ll be a corner piece with only two ‘jetties’ but with a possible potential for adding more if I can be bothered. The AT-AT is the crappy Revell one but after a bit of tarting up and fixing of the dodgy legs it’ll be fine.

Top half of the tube needs sorting as well as the pad itself. The jetty roofs are removable to allow for painting and there is a possibility of getting lighting in there  :?

The tube will be panelled and there will be a door at the bottom. I think I might leave it without a base so it can be used in Tatooine and other locals.

The tube will be panelled and there will be a door at the bottom. I think I might leave it without a base so it can be used in Tatooine and other locals.


Won't that make it a bit unstable?  Could you do a base for Endor and a base for Tatooine that has a post/receptor that the tower slides over and attaches to? 

I know at least one clumsy oaf that's likely to knock it over mid game if it's not stable  ;) lol

The right honerable gentleman has a good point! Especially if you’re going to add a platform above and place your delicate Imperial Shuttle up there! :o

Just remember.....Wargamers are clumsy! It only takes a jumper or a misplaced jacket pocket( ::)) to bring down and break it ALL back to its constituent parts! :'( :'( :'(

So.......when are you building a Death Star to hover above the table? ;)

That’s looking like an option. I’d have to do something small to cover it when the pad isn’t in use (not a problem really). It’ll also help to have it removable if I put lights and batteries in it.

Much cooler than the Endor escalator! ;)

It was inevitable really, what with the new teaser trailer dropping today that I’d get a bit of Star Wars done  lol

We’re having an impromptu Endor game on Tuesday and I think I’ve got time to squeeze in a little radar dish to go on top of the turbolaser tower I’ve had built for a while.

Just the main basic shapes for now, I’ll do some detailing work on it on Sunday and should be able to get a quick paint job on it on Monday.

Got the dish done in time for the game (report of which when I edit the photos) and finished weathering the actual tower which needed to be done for over a year  lol

The TIE is Bandai 1:72 and the AT-ST is Bandai 1:48, figures are WOTC 28mm bendies.

Fortunately, the gun portion had a lug with a corresponding hole in the tower that the dish support fit into out of pure luck so there was no faffing around needed  :)

That tower is a mad piece of terrain at this scale, but it sure looks the part. It's size really becomes apparent with the AT-ST next to it lol

And I really like the multi-functionality of it, now there is a radar (or communications?) dish to replace the turret. Either will make for a great objective to fight over.

I take it the X-Wing is 1/48 also?

Will have another game report this coming week but in the mean time I’ve been able to spend a bit of time on some of the smaller Bandai ships I’ve got.

They are around 1:144 but there’s a few discrepancies here and there (I’m not too fussed though as at least they’re getting done).

The colour schemes are the same as the larger versions and when I get a chance I’ll take some comparison photos.

The first four fighters from Cobalt squadron. I haven’t quite finished writing the fluff yet but it’s a bit of a ragtag squadron and it’ll include some uglies.

Cobalt 1

Cobalt 2

Cobalt 4
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/39/2619-130719212435-39742466.jpeg)

And of course, they need some enemy fighters (only one for now as the others need titivating)

TIE Advanced X1

It’s the vehicle model line. The TIE’s are around 1:126 so a bit bigger than they should but I suppose it’s more ‘box scale’ more than anything.

Go get some, they’re really cheap  >:D

No house rules (I think) and we used psyonics for the Force. No vehicles this time but it’s getting to the point where I want to use them so will be going from the Galactic Heroes Vehicle Manual and altering to fit.

Please, sir! It was cannibalistic (!) teddies with a strong warrior code, excellent knowledge of the terrain and pretty good preparations for an all out war.

Rumors have it that all former anthropologists sent to Endor simply got eaten, and that before the Empire forced the different Ewok tribes into an Alliance there was all out war!

Just think about it, these guys managed to amass an army of several thousand (?) teddies in a couple of hours, had aerial attack gliders and huge traps ready and didn’t cease their attacks when casualties started to rise!

Probably they could easily beat a Space Marine chapter and wipe their furry butts with the sporadic predator stupid enough to land on Endor!

So, nothing new for this project but I did promise the Admiral that I would go through my old photos that were lost on the original thread.

First up is one of the first buildings I made for Mos Eisley; Sousan's Starship Parts and Repairs. The main construction was made from 10mm blue foam based on 3mm hardboard. The texture was a mix of filler, fine sand, paint and glue (although I've changed the recipe since then). The whole lot was sprayed with Halfords khaki brown, given a thin wash of something of a warm brown nature (really can't remember what it was lol) and then heavily drybrushed up through some tans to almost white.

The dome is just a plastic one (polystyrene could be used as well, it's just I had plenty to hand), the brown box is a left over lift over run from a job from years ago and the yellow 'buttresses' are just large chunks of another type of foam. The scraps and parts are from my extensive bits collection that I've been hoarding for years and years and just randomly picked out.

The intention was to do the interiors as well and that is still the case, so once we come back to Mos Eisley in our games they will probably get done.

Here are some more of the early Mos Eisley wips. Same principle as the first one shown and I’ll post some better photos of the painting process in a few days and hopefully some wips of the scatter terrain.

Onward with photos from the previous thread and next up is the hanger bay (for the life of me I can't remember which number I gave it  lol).

Blue foam again for the construction and the pad itself was already made. The ring on the roof (which was the part that determined the inspiration and the size) was a left over from my old job. A few domes here and there, some gubbins, a lot of gloop and some paint and we're done  :)

I decided to give it a more Star Wars feel on the inside with some Imperial style wall panels (lasered acrylic) but dirtied them down along with the bits and pieces in there.

I’m hoping to do something similar with the interiors of some of the buildings. Probably not using the Imperial design though.

Onto some ships now and first off is the Y-fighter that was converted from a Bandai 1:72 Y-wing. Lots of gubbins from the bits boxes and some styrene sheet. I'll post the painted ones in a few days.

Here's the next one to add from the old photos, a planetary shuttle. Doesn't even have a hyperdrive and is mainly used as a 'ship to shore' shuttle. The main body and engine block were made at uni many, many years ago. I'm both surprised and pleased that it lasted this long  :D

I’ve got some more utility vehicle masters on the go along with something a bit more military based and I have thought about small ships, they will need a bit more design work though to make them reasonable for casting  :)

Here are the wip shots of the T-16 that was done ages ago. It was drawn in cad and cut from 0.5 acrylic and then layered up to allow for the panel lines etc. Serious gubbins work on the engine and underneath.

It isn't an exact replica of the film version as I wanted a personalised one used by a engine jockey in the Beggars Canyon races. The wings fold though so it can 'land' (although how it does that is still debatable).

Basically Plastic Weld for plastics (acrylic and styrene etc) and super glue for the other stuff. I’ll occasionally use a bit of wood glue but not often.

I need to take some decent photos of the T-16 but for now I've finished off building this little beastie and got a coat of primer on it.

It's a Kuat Drive Yards Stellar class freighter although there's nothing really stellar about it; it's a proper piece of junk  lol

The cargo is magnetised and I'll be doing some other types of container that will be going in the catalogue in the New Year.

Interestingly, it can also pass for 1:144 scale. Here are some Bandai kits alongside. I'd need to magnetise the ships and also make some tubes for the TIEs like that are on the Gozanti cruiser...

It'll carry four TIEs or two rebel ships (three if they are A-wings). It might even carry a Falcon but I haven't got the 1:144 Bandai Falcon yet

I’ve finished off the Nebulon-b that was start several years ago and have taken piccies of all the 1/1000 fleet ships I’ve got so far. The group photo at the bottom also shows the two blockade runners from Bandai that are unfortunately just shy of 1/1000.

I’ve got some Shapeways fighters but I’m not going to use them and I’ll be drawing and printing my own (and before anyone asks, they won’t be for sale).

Had a bit of a play around with some magnets at the weekend for the cargo freighter. Drilled a hole in one of the new releases for the same magnets that are in the joining beam (the yellow ones are the original).

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/43/2619-200120163949-435921423.jpeg)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/43/2619-200120163951-435991260.jpeg)

I’ve had a little ‘thing’ hanging around for a while now and decided to cast it and stick magnets in it too and bottom as it’ll be just right for a TIE boarding tube. I also added magnets in the top of the TIEs but there’s no photos of that. I will need to sort some out for the rebel ships as this is more in keeping with the rebellion. The principle works for the boarding tubes so there’s no reason I can’t do another ship that’s more Imperial looking...

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/43/2619-200120164824-436052088.jpeg)

The tubes also work with cargo and could represent it being lowered or raised. They can also be fit in between the TIEs but it’s a bit of a squeeze.

I played through the entire expanded TIE-Fighter game (including all the expansions) again just last year, and even though the graphics are obviously dated, I found it was still a joy to play, even after all these years 8)

It has inspired me on several occasions to create custom scenario's for X-Wing (the FFG variant) to play, and those were always fun too :)

Belated thanks gents  :)

I'm still waiting for a modern version of the X-wing computer game to surface. I'd be all over that like a rash  lol

Hopefully having a game on Tuesday and in the meantime I've been doing scatter terrain here and there whilst waiting for other stuff to dry.

Good old Tag and Bink for scale  :D

Well, I caved and got D+ and have watched the three episodes available for The Mandalorian (it’s being released weekly here).

It’s aces!  :D

Going to have a go at some Navarro style terrain. Not lava but the same sort of colours and dusty feel. I’ve got a sample rock outcropping done and will be working on some buildings shortly (potentially for casting and release). Fortunately the colours are the same as my Limehouse boards so I don't have to make any new ones  :)

Yes, just blue/pink foam carved up with a long bladed knife. For the others I'll embed them into the ground work a bit more and add lots of smaller bits around the bottom.

I blocked out a building and got a quick coat of paint on it. There’s still a door to do and some wall gubbins. It’s castable and when the door and gubbins are done I’ll stick them in mould boxes  :)

I probably won’t be doing anything fancy with the interior, probably just a textured floor (tread plate or some such). The gubbins you see are from my own collection and are just for these quick shots.

Made a little Tibanna gas storage tank. The top is an old acrylic display dome and the bottom is a plastic cotton bud box with lots of bits added. The colour of the tank harks back to some of the pre-production art by Ralph McQuarrie. Doing a bigger version (more tanks) would be cool  8)

It's just a case of going through my bits boxes (of which there are many and sorted in degrees of size) and seeing what works. I'll have a rough idea for what to put in a particular area and then I'll spend time looking for bits that fit that idea. For this build it was mainly bits that could either hang down or stand up from flat surfaces. There's quite a bit of normal microstrip there as well.

I got a few more 1:1000 ships done for a bit of a photo shoot for a particular supplement that will be out soon...

The CR90's are the Bandai ones and the fighters are from Shapeways that I got years and years ago. They are no longer available (I didn't look that hard to be honest) so I've started to draw my own that I'll print up. The trouble with these imp ships is that there's no interior wing detail, so I left them blank.

I've got a fair few rebel ships but only the x-wings are painted for now. I had more of the normal ties but they're very fragile and I broke a good eight or nine of them drilling the mounting holes  ::)

for a sense of scale, the Nebulon-B is 300mm long, the x-wings are around 13mm long and the fighter bases are 25mm square (although I need to do some bigger ones as they are a bit small).

Got some more fighters done, a rebel drop ship of sorts and had a play around with a black background  :)

I'm fairly sure I've got some more fighter stashed away somewhere  :?

The rebel drop ship was bought at the same time as the fighters and is from Shapeways (no idea if they're still available or not).

1.6m but being the anal retard that I am it would have to be pretty much spot on and I really don’t have the time nor space  lol

Bandai do an Imp Star at 1:5000 (or there abouts) which could be another scale to look at  :?

I’ve got a couple of the 1/2256 Anigrand Star Destroyers to build one day....they will only be 29” long, but I might need to build an extension onto my games room first to find somewhere to store them when not in use.  :D

How are you liking the rules so far?  I haven't been able to read through them fully, but the movement seems...lack luster compared to other things I'm used to (wings of war, crimson skies, x-wing, etc).

It feels like a simplified form of a hex based move system, and not necessarily in a good way, but that could just be an incorrect first impression.

I play tested them and didn't really have an issue with the movement rules. They're not as precise as something like xwing, but I don't think they're intended to be.

Knocked up a little inspection ladder and I’m thinking it could also be used for my Akira project.

I’ll probably do one that’s from the film as well but there’s a bit more work involved with that.

James; nice brushwork! 8) But I can't get over how far the WotC Yuzzem mini is removed from how I originally imagined them ::)

Akula: Yuzzems are from one of the first Star Wars novels; Splinter of the Mind's Eye. It takes place somewhere between ANH and ESB and possibly was a screenplay originally.

It details the exploits of Luke and Leia (pre-revelation, so a bit awkward in some scenes lol ) on an Imperial planet where they get into trouble with Imperial forces whilst undercover. Leia ends up in prison, and befriends two Yuzzem in the same cell, who then help her and Luke find the Splinter  of the Mind's Eye (a Force enhancing crystal), while being chased by Darth Vader through the jungle.

Pretty cool book; I read it somewhere in the eighties and until Heir to the Empire, it was the only Extended Universe novel next to Han Solo at Star's End.

The stamp on the original base was for 2005 but I remember Yuzzum coming from Endor and not looking like the figure (short bodies, long legs and a different face). There's one singing in the re-mastered version of RotJ as well  lol

Gotta love a messed up franchise  :D

There's also the Lando Adventures trilogy that was re-printed recently under the 'Legends' umbrella.

Unfortunately I don't have room at the moment to get them all together so I've done them in batches. They're pretty much all from my sci-fi range available from here (apart from the 'cube crates').

I’m going try and run a remote Star Wars game before Crimbo so I’m gradually sorting out some terrain for it.

These are storage tanks from my buildings range (miscasts) as the set up is probably going to be some sort of remote refinery or some such.

Going to draw the body up in cad and cut it from acrylic (it'll be more stable than sheet styrene) and then detail with styrene and bits as per every good Star Wars model should be  :)

The legs will be beefed up as well as I've thought the AT-AT legs were a bit spindly for the body and hauling knackered ships around is more of a heavier duty job than blasting rebel scum  >:D

Thanks  :)

Lower chassis and axles have been cut and assembled. They need filling and sanding before being able to add the plates and details.

The legs have had some work done to them and need a fair bit more. They’re double sided onto the chassis at the moment but they will be magnetised to allow for easier storage (something I have a problem with  lol). I’ll be added some plates on the bottom of the feet after sticking some metal nuts in the to help lower the centre of gravity. I’ll probably have to do something similar for the crane but we’ll see when we come to it  :)

The legs and lower chassis have been detailed. A coat of primer tomorrow will show it off a bit better. The legs have been magnetised (the yellow is some scrap 3mm I had) but they still need the curved fenders sorting for the tops. The body needs a bit of a sand and I think I’ve got a half tube somewhere for the underneath.

Combined with the ‘peg and hole’ thing going on with them, yes. I’ll probably have to do something different with the crane as it’ll be quite front heavy when loaded up.

I might steal the concept, since I still have an old WotC AT!

Steal away  :) This is the Revell ‘kit’ and I’ll be using the main body as a cargo hauler.

That’s brilliant and a nice bit of background non-frontline/destructive tech that adds great depth. Maybe instead of plants I’d build a removable/magnetised alternate bowl top for it and put nibbles into it on my coffee table. Apologies if I’ve missed it but do you have a crane you’re going to adapt or are you going to scratch build?

Keep up the excellent progress,

Started work on the upper hull. Still plenty to do before even thinking about primer. Lots of interior detail and of course the cockpit windows. The cream cylinder is to represent the cranes rotating mechanism and is a mis-cast of SFA09 from the sci-fi section of the webshop. There will be other webshop bits to go in as well as piping and general clutter. There will be 'slab' about 10mm thick to go on this (same profile) before the crane housing goes on but I'll get all the upper chassis done first before moving onto the crane. The slab will be magnetised to allow access and the crane housing will also be removable as it would be good to potentially have it on a building.

Ignore the 1/2/3 blocks are they are supporting it due to the gubbins hanging down underneath  :)

There'll also be a balcony on the back to add a bit of visual (and potential gaming) interest.

Did a quick bit of gubbins work for the interior. Still some of the middle ‘room’ to do and the cockpit. I think I might print something in resin for the cockpit controls  ???

The frosted plate will be stuck on permanently and the 10mm ‘slab’ will be magnetised to it.

Not all the bits are stuck yet as it’ll be easier to paint them separately.

In the meantime the little balcony out the back is done and it also fits with the landing pad jetty that I started ages ago.

Unlike a lot of Star Wars gantries/balconies this has a guard rail  lol

Will you have that floor at sale on your webshop?

Something along those lines, yes  :)

But is there a no smoking sign?

I’ll do one if you really want  :D

Rubbish  ;D

There’s plenty, you’re just not looking hard enough  lol

The interior is perfectly grimy and beaten up - very reminiscent of the dock-side setting. Do you plan any Quarren or Mon Calamari crew?

I really love that you are building the crane from the Mandalorian.

The attention to detail with panels, pipes, gauges is fantastic and it looks even better painted  :o

Do you plan any Quarren or Mon Calamari crew?

Possibly. It's going to be a generic crane though as looking at the scenes it's in there are others there that are slightly different so it seems plausible that its a fairly standard practise. I've got some seated human crew kindly donated by Dwartist that will get put in this.

I will use it as inspiration for the interior of my Endor bunker (though it might be a bit cleaner as a military installation).

Look forward to seeing it  8)

So, a bit more wip  :)

The sides and back have been clad (it’s a bit neater than the lower chassis), the middle plate has been made and painted but not stuck yet, the top plate has been cut but needs cladding etc. The cockpit has been detailed (I’m not looking forward to painting all those buttons  lol ) and I’ve drawn up the cockpit chairs and control panels and they’ll hopefully be printed over the weekend.

Will start to work on the crane housing and boom next week  :)

Post by: OSHIROmodels on December 10, 2020, 07:03:00 PM
I got a bit distracted looking for a particular bit for the crane and stumbled on a Revell kit of Slave One. Always thought of doing it as a standard Firespray class but unfortunately there’s a substantial part of the hull missing...

(https://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/49/2619-101220182614-49610455.jpeg)

 lol

So, not to be deterred I’m going to make it into a Firespray XL  :D

It’s nicknamed ‘The Coffin’, hopefully for obvious reasons  lol

(https://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/49/2619-101220182616-496151392.jpeg)
(https://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/49/2619-101220182618-496161471.jpeg)
(https://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/49/2619-101220182619-496172410.jpeg)

It’s apparently 1:160 which is close enough to fit with the 1:144 fighters I’ve got.

The grey stuff is filler and once it’s been sanded off I’ll scribe the hull plates and add some gubbins. The cockpit will be in the same place as the original but it’ll be angular instead.

I’ll have to sort out a custom flying base for it. There’s a handy little slot in the back where the naff Revell one should go so that should do it.

All the panelling and details are on, it's now drying after it's first coats of primer  :)

This is just a temporary base as I have sorted out it's proper one yet.

So, a bit more detailed fluff (and yes, I am making it up as I go along but that's part of the fun  :D ).

Kuat Systems Engineering designed the normal Firespray as a patrol craft and prisoner transport but also came up with a few variations; few of which actually made into production. The Firespray XL was one that did get made; boasting more prisoner cells and a larger security force capacity (16 troopers) it was touted as a more independent craft for ousting smaller bandit/pirate gangs. Unfortunately due to the extra capacity, the reduction in speed and manoeuvrability was deemed too much of a sacrifice and so the project was scrapped.

Cockpit windows are done (I also weathered the sides and rear of the main hull). I think I’ve got some tinted 0.8mm acrylic somewhere but if not I’ll just use some 0.5mm clear.

White lights for the win  :D

The silver foil in the top plate is sticky aluminium tape and it’s great for light blocking.

Next will be either to weather what’s been built or move onto the crane housing. Haven’t quite decided on the final shape for that yet though  :?

Orchids? Nice touch  lol

Haven’t had much time to spend on this recently (lots of Christmas orders to sort out) but I’m plugging away, bit by bit.

The crane housing is roughed out and needs filling/sanding before I can start to plate the parts. I have a feeling it might be a bit small but it’ll probably look a bit bigger when there’s some paint on it.

It moves and has a little lug underneath so it can be removed completely.

Another little diversion from the crane  ;D

It’s a Bandai Y-wing that’s been needed to be finished for a while now (it’s the one at the back with the mainly blue front).

Slowly working up to a full, if somewhat ramshackle, squadron.

The only fighter they don in 1:48 is the x-wing, the rest are in 1:72.

Great work as usual. The blocky shape, in combination with the right paint job and context suddenly make it work completely in a SW environment.

Interesting. In the pictures, the edges still look a bit blended. Do you then work on those by hand, feathering them into another?

Cheers  :) The blu tack was still in a sausage when stuck on and the rattle can was generally sprayed from straight overhead of each surface giving the slightly diffused look at the edges. Some aren’t like that but most are.

Got the vast majority of the ‘top deck’ done for the walker. Gonna have to have a play around with the crane and see what works best. The actual crane housing is removable so I can spray the deck piece separately.

I’m also going to scratch build the pilot seat and console. Not too happy with the prints I’ve got.

Thanks  :) it does/will have leds. I need to make some brackets to hold them and the batteries though.

With a bit of faffing I’ve used one of the original console prints and it seems to work ok. Seat was scratchbuilt and I’ve placed them on a separate floor plate section so it can be potentially used on other models. I might do a little bit more detail work on it.

The pilot/driver (kindly donated by Dwartist) has had a bit of conversion work to get his hands interacting with the console and he’s separate to ease painting. It’s an Anvil Industries ‘mix and match’ figure I believe.

Painted the console and the pilot and primed the top deck but that needs a few panels doing in different colours before it gets weathered.

To help give a sense of scale, its mounted on a 25mm square base.

If I was to go to all of the trouble you go to (which is VERY unlikely)
and I got to the cockpit stage. I would have painted out the windows,
just so that I wouldn't have to do any more.
As always I am in awe of your work. Keep it up.

The build is now finished and primed. Here's a few quick shots before I start on the final painting/weathering.

The crane cable is elastic as it worked better than thread/string and there's a magnet in the disc for picking up cargo (or even ships  :D)

That is a wonderful contraption and looking very, very good (as per usual ;) ).

Can't wait to see it with some appropriate scenery and miniatures around it!

I initially thought this was an original design you came up with. But that was before I had the opportunity to watch The Mandalorian season two, which is when I realized that that was where you got the inspiration from!

That was also one of my favourite episodes by the way; it so reminded me of the many Rogue and Wraith squadron missions... 8)

It’s been a while since I’ve done any Star Wars stuff but the new Visions short series provided a little bit of inspiration  :)

It’ll probably just be a few buildings, enough for a settlement and I’ve gone for temperate bases as I’ve already got Imps and Rebs for this setting amd I could also potentially use them for a Ghibli style game as well.

Don’t worry, the AT-crane will be completed soon  :)

I thought the first one was okay, not world-beating, but okay. I thought the second one was complete dogshite, akin to the dodgy cheap Japanese animations from the 80's, like 'Cities of Gold' or 'Dogtanian'. It put me off watching any of the others if I'm honest.

The setting for The Duel looked great and is ripe for a wargaming mashup, especially as Oshiro are a one stop shop for everything needed to recreate it.

I wasn't fussed about most of the episodes but I won't be knocking Disney for trying something a bit different and letting others reinterpret Star Wars within their own contexts. They've called it 'Visions' for a reason. I enjoyed it best watching in Japanese with the subtitles on.

If nothing else I can't wait to see James' Star Wars Samurai village!

The second one is The Twins. The others are worth a look though. As Elk said, it's good of them to try new things.

Finished off a storehouse/processing unit for the ‘village’.

I was also thinking of doing some paddy fields but perhaps with some sort of control panel to link it to the buildings. Could be a bit restrictive though. Maybe if the control panels are on separate little bases that could next to normal paddies that would be be a better option  :?

I was hoping to get these done quicker (got a few others planned out) as I’m sure I’ll get distracted when The Book of Fett comes out  lol

There is a novel based on The Duel called Ronin. I'm almost halfway thru, and I may just give up on it.😞

It seems like the author has an idea in their head, but it just.isnt coming out on the page.

Too bad, as it was such a cool idea that I snapped the book up right away.

It is good to see something new and not always the same style. Star wars is not only these desert buildings. Hope you show us more of this, Sir James.

Star wars is not only these desert buildings.

Good point!  Not everything is the deserts of Tatooine or the redwoods of Endor.  There are also swamps, frozen wastes and other environments possible.

How to build in swamps and ice would be interesting.

Yet another slight diversion  ::)

This has been sat on the shelf for many months now but I finished it last night and took some shots.

I’m calling it an MC220 (because it’s 220mm long  lol ). The body was a pla print in three parts and the guns and engines are resin prints. I’ve got it in mind to do another Mon Cal cruiser but have it as a sort of fleet carrier and include the hanger bays.

It was sprayed grey, the panels were painted on by hand and the panel lines were drawn on with a pencil and masking tape as a guide (they’re a bit more distinct in real life).

The blockade runner is from Bandai, the larger imperial ships are both scratchbuilt and the fighters are from Shapeways I believe.

When I think Mon Calamari, I think huge ships, stardestroyer size. But obviously, there would be smaller ships, with the same design language.

Other than already mentioned it could be used for a random/regular event in skirmish games as a moving piece of cover crossing the table crushing combatants who are unable to get out of its way and ignored the hazardous area warning signs.

Tidy work.

The panelling looks great, but I agree with you about the cickpit. I'd say that the problem with it is that the way light falls across that curved edge is slightly destroying tbe illusion of scale.

Whatever, it's a minor quibble on an otherwise fantastic little build.

He looks very similar to Valin Draco as described in the later points of the Dawn of Defiance campaign...and the earlier parts before WotC decided to modify the artwork in order to have a conversion guide for DMs to make a mini for him (That actually got some official rules for the minis game...one of the two minis that required a conversion to accurately have with the other being due to a mistake)

Just sorting through groups for potential games. Plenty enough for different options and there’s enough now for a team of man eating teddy bears  lol

Mainly for use on Endor but can also be used on other temperate worlds. It’s a big galaxy, who’s to say that there aren’t other planets with indigenous murder bears on them  :D

I'll be doing a small ranger of smaller scale spaceships soon but here's a test of a simple freighter for that range. It works for 1:144 (my preferred ship scale) but it also would work for x-wing 'scale' (last photo).

It's made from the 28mm cargo hauler available in the webshop which was designed for this to happen  :)

Well, Salute has been confirmed for next year and as always I'll be putting on a game. This time it's a Star Wars participation game using FFoL Galactic Heroes 2nd Ed.

So many different settings to choose from but for this I'm going for a Navarro look but with a bit less lava as the whole planet surely couldn't be covered, could it?  lol

The table will be 8x4 and one half will be buildings such as the one below. The other half will be inside a mountain and will be made up of corridor sections that will also be released in the webshop.

Given that time flies I've finished off the first building base and made a start on a few others. I'll probably go for four or so with various other bits of tech and stuff  :)

They will have simple interiors and plenty of nooks and crannies to hide in.

Pretty much everything is from the sci-fi sections of the webshop  :)

Building base three done and dusted, just two more to go (for the time being). Some of the tops and roofs are swappable to give a slightly different look.

Still under the weather but I've been tinkering with the start of a Cloakshape fighter. Always fancied making one since I saw it in the Dark Empire comic books.

https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/CloakShape_fighter/Legends (https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/CloakShape_fighter/Legends)

The first two photos are upside down as that's what I've been working on. It will probably have a slightly more angled top hull than normal as that's easier to make. Debating on whether to make a detailed cockpit or just have the usual painted out windows.

Only just discovered this thread - and only half way through it so far!  Lots of cool inspiration.

But nothing I saw on the website for 15 mm Star Wars stuff - or did I miss it?  Well on my way to a substantial 15 mm Star Wars setup.  It all started with my wife wanting to take our niece to Disneyland.  Then there were these affordable, painted mostly metal models of AT-AT and Millennium Falcon and, uh-oh. 

Back later for the other half of the thread.

edit: And back this morning to finish the thread (well, the pictures more than the text).  So much goodness.  Alas, I had a dastardly thought on that gigantenormousspectacular AT-AT thing-a-ma-jig: 350 hours of build time, plus cost of the materials, in one game, seen by nut who offered a vast some of funds for it, temptation too strong and sold on, buyer played one game with it, too, and then it sits on shelf for twenty odd years, meantime you have to build another one to replace the sold one.  Rinse and repeat. 

Less dastardly, I did see someone comment on using some of your sci-fi bits for 15 mm so I guess I'll have to take another look around the store.  Of course, there are other suppliers for stuff in 15 mm - too much stuff that there is a nasty dent in my wallet already.

On the mend but it’s taking a while  ::)

I did get a few figures painted for this. Stargrave plastics, quite shallow detail but simple to paint which is a bonus.

They’re easy enough to be able to have a XR force and not worry too much about them.

I’ve finished off the panelling for the main body of the Cloakshape fighter. The wings are drawn and I’ll hopefully get them cut out soon (doing them out of lasered acrylic as it’ll be stronger than styrene).

Still debating on how to do the cockpit.

I’ve finally managed to finish off the wings for the Cloakshape fighter. I’m not doing the little ones on the ends though, just keeping with the big ones. I’ve also painted up an unarmed pilot that will do for scenario objectives etc.

There’s still the spoiler, leading edge details on the wings and the cockpit to do.

Got a few more building bases ready for Salute  :)

The second floor in the first pictures is a custom piece (comms tower) but I think I'll be doing something similar for the catalogue as it helps to give some height to the table.

The landing pad is removable and can be used on it's own (I need to make a set of steps/ramp as it's around 30mm high) and the comms tower can be swapped over.

No update apart from a few more figures painted.

I rather liked the corporate security in Andor and have gone for something similar. Stargrave trooper bodies with Anvil heads. I’ll eventually wade through the Anvil site and see if they’ve got some unarmoured figures that would fit the bill.

They will be getting a transport as well but that’s after the Cloakshape fighter is done.

From my own recent incursion into Zona Anvil, there is one set of unarmoured male torsos and one set of unarmoured female torsos. The female ones show up with a search for "female torso", but the males (for me anyway) only showed up when someone here pointed me at the militia figures.

Unarmoured legs are easier to find.

Now most of the catalogue compounds are complete it's time to move onto the custom builds for the Salute game  :)

First off is a garage. There's still lots of details to add but the main carcass is complete. Part of the roof is swappable with other roof elements to allow for some different set ups. To follow will be a cantina (every Star Wars games needs one lol ) and a settlement gateway/entrance.

Thanks  :)

Started to add some detail to the garage interior, still some to sort out. There’s also a few scrap piles to do in separate bases but they will be repurposed from Mos Vegas.

Most of the bits are from the catalogue (either sci-fi or Urban Future).

It's Star Wars Saturday again and the garage is now complete  :)

I've made a few scrap piles and also repurposed some from the old Mos Vegas project (that will no doubt see the light of day at some point in the future).

Part of the roof is swappable so the skyline can be changed around for different games.

Painted up a quick beast of burden for the Nevarro environs. I’ve got a plan for the howdah but it’ll be a little while till it’s done.

It’s an oop beastie from Blind Beggar Miniatures. The base is 120mm long so that should give you an idea on how big he (or she) is.

No update apart from a few more figures painted.

I rather liked the corporate security in Andor and have gone for something similar. Stargrave trooper bodies with Anvil heads. I’ll eventually wade through the Anvil site and see if they’ve got some unarmoured figures that would fit the bill.

They will be getting a transport as well but that’s after the Cloakshape fighter is done.

Every settlement should have an imposing gateway and Saveen's landing is no different. The bridge is magnetised, partly for ease of transport but also because there are balconies that can be put in it place thus giving two buildings that can be used in separate parts of the town.

Few more bits added to this. Civvie speeder and a Corpo droid (acts as a Gamey pet in FFoL GH  :D ).

The droid is a scratchbuild and the speeder is from Crooked Dice but there aren’t that many physical options out there for Star Warsy civvie vehicles. Looks like I’ll have to get my arse in gear and make some  lol

You know very well who I have learnt it from  ;D

Star Wars needs beasties and although there’s not much out there (apart from 3D prints) I’ve started to paint what I’ve got. Also made a load out for the large beast of burden. Kept it simple as it’s only for set dressing  :)

Very cool, I like the archaic approach in the "new" (shall I call it "disneymatic") SW universe with smoking engines on repulsor vehicles, tracked transports and beasts of burden. Although it doesn't make all sense, it's cool anyway.

I remember there was a Galoob plastic Ronto with Jawas as handlers...

It's Slaters and is about a fifth of the way down this page https://anticsonline.uk/Category/Embossed-Plastic-Sheet_N1723 (https://anticsonline.uk/Category/Embossed-Plastic-Sheet_N1723)

No bother  :)

Finished off building the cloakshape fighter apart from the landing gear, which will be a separate element.

I'm afraid that after the latest Mando episode I'm going to have to paint it in pirate/extremist colours and have it covered in black and white stripes  :D

A lot of it is winging it. For this particular build, I printed out the old West End Games D6 plans at roughly 1:56 and made the basic shape from that, all the details, panelling, spoiler etc are winged.

Seems to be a Manta-lorian model...  lol

Got a few random bits done, mainly for set dressing and potential scenarios but the hut is a tester for a future rebel/New Republic airbase set on a relatively tropical world as I’ve got some Scarif terrain it can be used with.

The ‘wampa’ is from IA, the droids are WEG and the speeder is a scratchbuild. There are some hideous mould lines on the droids but they’re a sod to clean off and will be only be in the background so I haven’t bothered  ;D

Was doing some photography yesterday for other projects and with the good weather it was a good opportunity to take a couple of quick photos of most of the builds done so far. There's still one or two to make and there were one or two left off. Hopefully it'll be busy enough to make a good game  :)

We had a lot of fun running the game. The players I think also really enjoyed themselves, especially those playing the lightsabre wielding Jedi and Inquisitor who were delighted to know that when fired upon they had a chance to deflect the blast back towards the shooter. On several occasions they were successful and  the shooter was killed outright which provided much entertainment for the other players lol

You never know we might convince James to take it back on the road later in the year to some other shows... ;)

Been away for a bit, but now that I'm back, I can comment on the pictures. The table looks absolutely marvelous; each of the terrain pieces looks great on its own, but when combined on a table like that, the result is absolutely stunning! 8)

The lack of booze and guns is surprising though. Did you check under the table?

We got a slightly smaller than Salute game in last week and here are a few of the photos form the game. It was a four player FFoL GH2, Imps and Corpos v Mandos and scum (let's face it, Mandos are scum as well  ;D ).

It was a fun game made all the better for a complete Imp/Corpo victory and there wasn't even a Mando left alive  :o lol

Bandai 1:72 front section and the rest is scratchbuilt. There was a bit about it on my old thread but that’s got the Photofuckit ‘photos’ on it  lol

Adding another scale to the project with 1:350 ships. The fighters are from Shapeways, the first freighter is a converted Bandai Falcon and the second freighter is probably the proper Falcon  :D

I’ve also got a resin kit of a Radient VII coming at some point and some replacement TIEs as the first batch sent were warped beyond repair (I’ll probably do them as exploded ones).

We’ll be starting a proper Star Wars campaign this coming week (using FFoL Galactic Heroes 2) and there will be a couple of scenarios involving ships  :)

Being the report of Unit 17-C on routine patrol in Sector 5 of Nevarro City...

Game One - Routine Patrol

Standard unit of one officer and five troopers patrolling Sector 5. Reports of an active rebel cell were received early morning and Unit 17-C were sent out to investigate. Lt Lamore in command, assisted by Sgt Montt with Troopers Liss, Arkan, Hev and Boon in support.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-290723121905-59449503.jpeg)

Lt Lamore split his unit to be able to cover more ground. The decision was made as the Lt wasn't expecting any trouble.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-290723121905-594511462.jpeg)

Sgt Montt reported spotting some suspicious behaviour near the Imperial check point building but couldn't clearly make out what it was.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-290723121906-59452323.jpeg)

Not having a clear idea of the situation with Sgt Montt, Lt Lamore decided to proceed as planned into the market area of Sector 5 but suddenly came under fire from the reported rebel cell that had obviously been flushed out by Sgt Montt.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-290723122025-594532374.jpeg)

Just seeing the one rebel, the Lt made the decision to take the fight to the enemy and try and capture some of the rebels in order to gain information about their operations. Unfortunately there were more rebels than were previously thought and a vicious firefight with some close quarters action ensued.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-290723122025-594541348.jpeg)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-290723122026-59456919.jpeg)

Sgt Montt tried to give support from an elevated position but his field of fire was restricted and the rebels started to gain the upper hand.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-290723122025-59455287.jpeg)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-290723122026-594571398.jpeg)

The rebels, seeing their chance of escape before vehicular support arrived, left the scene as quickly as they could. It was only the foresight and quick thinking of Trooper Hev that managed to salvage some good from the situation and captured one of the rebel females.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-290723122349-594581221.jpeg)

A deplorable situation where the local law enforcement officers of the Corporate Authority are ambushed seemingly out of nowhere with no provocation or reason. You can be rest assured that once the captive has been taken to holding and questioned there will be repercussions for these so called rebels. Messages of condolence will have to be sent to the families of those involved that will not be coming home.

Report ends....

--: Nevarro Sector Corporate Authority Report 242-694 :--

Being the report of Unit 17-C escorting a suspected terrorist through Sector 5 of Nevarro City...

Game Two - Prisoner Escort

Reduced unit of Lt Lamore, Sgt Montt and Trooper Hev transporting suspected terrorist to the spaceport for transfer to the Sector ISB office for further questioning. Trooper Boon KIA, Troopers Liss and Arkan transferred to Corporate Authority HQ for medical treatment.

Reduced unit 17-C requested a standard transport skiff for the transfer of terrorist suspect 'Neera Bhattu' to the spaceport as our methods of extracting information regarding the increased terrorist activity in the area had proved to be less than useful.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-050823101853-595052191.jpeg)

Proceeding through Sector 5, Lt Lamore was aware of some suspicious activity from what appeared to be the local populace and ordered his troops be on the look out. The suspect was restrained and subdued in the skiff and could not cause any trouble.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-050823101853-595061207.jpeg)

All too quickly, the suspicious activity turned into actual hostile action with various unknowns opening fire on the transport skiff and the officers contained there within. Fortunately, with Sgt Montt manning the skiff heavy blaster, one of the hostiles was put down quickly.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-050823101854-59509509.jpeg)

With more fire coming in from what seemed to be all sides, Trooper Hev, in charge of piloting the skiff did a heroic job of managing to avoid the worst of the incoming fire but the enemy were far too numerous and it was all we could do to avoid being hit.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-050823101854-595071669.jpeg)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-050823101854-59508644.jpeg)

Impossible to tell how many antagonists were out there Trooper Hev piloted towards an alleyway in the hope of getting out of the fire zone and into the relative safety of the spaceport.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-050823101930-595101455.jpeg)

But to no avail. The incoming fire increased dramatically and both LT Lamore and Sgt Montt were hit and down. The skiff also took several hits and careened out of control, crashing into the side of the alleyway allowing the suspect to get away.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-050823101930-59511684.jpeg)

These hit and run tactics of the terrorists are becoming a serious thorn in the side of decent law enforcement and we would recommend a heightening of awareness and patrols. Again, messages of condolence have been sent to the relevant parties.

Report ends....

Got a chance to finish off the 1:72 Falcon I bought a few weeks ago so it matches the 1:350 Bandai Falcon shown a few pages previously. It's called Orion's Eye and is a favourite of the rebels to try and sneak past Imperial patrols etc. It's about 310mm long and although the scale is small I think it'll fit ok.

The kit itself is a bit naff and would need a lot of work to make it into the Falcon but it'll certainly do for a bit of a table filler and scenario objective  :)

--: Nevarro Sector Corporate Authority Report 242-712 :--

Being the report of Unit 17-C searching for the slicer known as Vikrett Jannakree...

Game Two - Slicer rendezvous

Report of notorious slicer, Vikrett Jannakree, have reached headquarters and reduced squad 17-C have been tasked with his retrieval and extraction from Nevarro City, Sector 5. His whereabouts have been narrowed down to a small area of Sector 5 and a house to house search will commence.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-150823201419-596762174.jpeg)

The search of sector five begins. Squad 17-C have been informed of potential terrorist activity in the area. Slicer Vikrett Jannakree may have information for said terrorists and must be found as soon as possible.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-150823201908-596991403.jpeg)

Whilst conducting the lawful search of the immediate properties, Trooper Hev spotted a known suspected terrorist and preceded to approach him for questioning.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-150823201909-597001729.jpeg)

The suspect in question was not alone and a severe firefight broke out amongst the properties without warning or provocation.

Fortunately, Trooper Liss was successful in his search, even though he was not long out from treatment resulting from the last encounter with the terrorists. The slicer known as Vikrett Jannakree was willing to come along with Trooper Liss for questioning at the Corporate Authority headquarters.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-150823202655-597031807.jpeg)

Whilst Trooper Liss was taking the slicer into custody, the firefight was increasing with ferocity with several Corporate casualties.

With the terrorists being held at bay by the gallant defence of the Corporate troopers, Trooper Liss was able to escort the slicer from the battlezone and get him extracted to Corporate headquarters.

A successful mission but the actions of the terrorists must be dealt with in the harshest terms as they are upsetting the peaceful aura of Nevvaro City and the denizens therein.

--: Nevarro Sector Corporate Authority Report 242-737 :--

Being the report of Unit 17-C in apprehending a certain droid with potential information...

Game Four - The droid we're looking for

After interviewing the slicer Vikrett Jannakree, information was gleaned about a droid that might have a unknown hyperspace route stored in it's databank that would allow the terrorist group to escape with impunity. Reduced squad 17-C have been tasked with it's retrieval and extraction back to Corporate Headquarters.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-260823100051-598701860.jpeg)

Sector 5 of Nevarro City has been seemingly quite due to the increased terrorist activity in the area so locating the droid shouldn't have been too difficult.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-260823100051-598722039.jpeg)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-260823100051-598731437.jpeg)

Several droids fitting the loose description given by Vikrett Jannakree were in the localised area but it was apparent that the terrorists were already in the area as Lt Lamore's assistant droid was shot out of nowhere.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-260823100052-598742095.jpeg)

In another part of Sector 5 the terrorists had crawled out from under the skiff and had laid down a heavy suppressive fire causing several Corporate casualties.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-260823100052-59875586.jpeg)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-260823100611-598761087.jpeg)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-260823100611-59877281.jpeg)

Even with the heavy firefight developing, reduced squad 17-C still endeavoured to find the droid at all costs but to no avail.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-260823100611-59878781.jpeg)

The fire zone was intense and the decision was made by Lt Lamore to pull back after only being able to quickly search two droids in the vicinity.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-260823100612-598801931.jpeg)

One good piece on new is that it has been reported that the terrorist leader was shot and killed in the firefight but this has yet to be confirmed.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-260823100612-59879557.jpeg)

An unsuccessful mission but the actions of the terrorists must be dealt with in the harshest terms as they are upsetting the peaceful aura of Nevvaro City and the denizens therein.

Recommend to send a second message to the Imperial Sector Garrison for reinforcements to help quell these terrorist incursions and stop their untoward actions before more innocents are harmed.

Messages of condolence have been sent to the relevant parties.

Report ends...

...Addendum...

Many innocent civilians were targeted in this cowardly rebellious attack but we are certain the Rebel commander was killed...

I read about that, but as I understand it, it scales the whole game up, with single fighters becoming squadrons etc. Ideally, I'd have a rules set that could do individual fighters ánd capital ships in the same game.

Because I have a bunch of corvette-class ships for X-Wing that I would love to use as intended. Would FFoL Starfighters accomodate this?

It would as you can ‘build’ larger ships in starfighter scale. There are larger ship examples in the book but it’s a toolbox at the end of the day and you can pretty much do what you want. I certainly intend to  lol

I’m sure your vendor of FFoL goodness is pleased!

I have the Starfighter rules but haven’t played yet. If they work like the stompy robot rules, they will give a fun game with lots of decisions to make about how to use your hand of cards to get the best out of your spacecraft while carrying out the mission.

I love the scratch built fighter, too, by the way - great painting and the level of surface detailing is beautiful!

Not to worry, in the Empire uniforms of corporate security forces are tightly regulated. The cut and colours on the uniforms follow a standard mandatory pattern, but differ from planet to planet and by corporation by having 2mm wide colour coded piping along the cuffs. If you look really carefully at the close up shots you can just about make it out, but I doubt the piping is noticeable on 28mm figures at tabletop distances.

--: Nevarro Sector Corporate Authority Report 242-744 :--

Being the report of Unit 17-C in stopping the known terrorists from escaping justice...

Game Five - The terrorist escape

Word has reached Nevarro Corporate Authority Headquarters that the known terrorist 'Captain' Linta and his associates are going to try and make a break from the law and escape off planet before the Imperial blockade arrives, via Nevarro Sector 5 spaceport.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/2619-030923124418-599931325.jpeg)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/60/2619-030923124418-60000863.jpeg)

Troopers Hev and Boon have been tasked with manning the check point and keeping the barrier in place until the suspected terrorists approach the spaceport. Lt Lamore with Troopers Liss and Arkan have successfully identified the route that the terrorists have taken and are coming up behind them in support of the check point.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/60/2619-030923124418-600012483.jpeg)

Unfortunately, the terrorists have come with blood on their minds and manged to gun down both Troopers Hev and Boon in the checkpoint without them being able to defend themselves.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/60/2619-030923124419-600021467.jpeg)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/60/2619-030923124419-60003557.jpeg)

Seeing this from afar, Lt Lamore managed to stop several of the escaping terrorists with assistance from the Authority probe droid.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/60/2619-030923124911-600092251.jpeg)

Trooper Liss, following the example of his Lt was able to bring down two of the terrorists that were in his sights.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/60/2619-030923124544-600061557.jpeg)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/60/2619-030923124545-600072181.jpeg)

It would appear, however that 'Captain' Linta was able to escape and leave planetside in an unregistered older model YT-1170. Typical of the recent terrorist activity it was an 'each being for himself' situation and the so-called captain has left the remaining members of his group. Fortunate for the Corporate Authority as we now have several prisoners that can be questioned regarding their terrorist activities and the supposed location of ' Captain' Linta and the YT-1170.

Message from Imperial Sector Command confirms they are sending a detachment to assist in the quelling of terrorist activity in the sector. An Imperial blockade is already en-route and should be in time to stop Lintas escape.

Messages of condolence have been sent to the relevant parties.

Every Imperial Dog has it's day! Looks like the corpos finally did a bit of damage. Game looks great, as always. The arcade fronted building (scrap merchants?) is brilliant. It looks great, but also appears to be a very gameable piece. Loads of scatter stuff from your shop range too. I'm looking forward to getting my recently delivered stuff painted up, as it just adds so much to the spectacle.

100% this.

You can't have enough scatter, whether for a bit of cover or to add some character to the scene.

Belated thanks chaps  :)

A starfighters game, which is part of the campaign, will be coming shortly but first, some Visions scatter terrain.

The campaign will be planet hopping and so to give us some options I've made a couple of scatter pieces. There's a few more in the works along with some other Nevarro terrain that I'll post soon.

These are brilliant - I mean, the whole thread is (it's one of the inspriational 'Mega-Threads' around these parts that I've kept lurky tabs on for ages!) - but these also show me what I'm missing!

I'm sorting out a bunch of models and terrain to play 5 Parsecs From Home/ FFoL - Galactic Heroes (non denominational, maybe a mash-up of both), and whilst I have 'set pieces' and scatter either done or in the works, I don't have anything like this that shows the 'manufactured' setting elements in combination with the planetary environment - the two are always separate on the pieces I have (/planned).

I'd been feeling I was missing something, but I couldn't figure out what it was - now I know what I need to do, thanks for the inspiration!

Post by: OSHIROmodels on October 21, 2023, 06:45:33 AM
No problem  :)

We have a lot of loose scatter as well but it’s smaller things like cargo containers and such. Having the larger bits just helps to tie it into the surroundings a bit more and also adds extra cover options. We have a house rule wherein a figure anywhere on the scenery base gets a cover bonus of +1, of course if the figure is behind actual scenery then the cover modifier is altered to reflect how much it is hidden by.

Just caught up on the campaign games, they're very entertaining. I noticed you posted "The terrorist escape" as game 4, was this a deliberate ploy to confuse the Rebels  o_o or just an over worked Empire Executive's honest mistake, if the later, I expect he's been sacked by now.  :D

You still seem to be loosing the propaganda battle,  :? but I suppose when the Rebels can lose 6 out of 7 fighters  :o and the last survivor runs away but they are still able to spin that as a victory, you don't have much hope.   :-[ Maybe you should think about employing Peter Mandelson as your Communications Director.

Everything else though is superb.

Damned clever of James though... keep losing games to you, so you'll enjoy your games of Star Wars and commission even more of his terrain...

The man is a GENIUS... after all... no one could lose that many games unless they meant to...  ;)

I've finished off the final large building for Nick's commission and it's a set of shops. The base footprint is around 320mm square

Plenty of details have been added but I didn't go overboard as we'll still need access for raids, destruction etc  :D

The shops are 'Draba Tang's Emporium' and 'Ooloo Platts Droid Repair and Service'.

Corpo HQ next but that will be for me  >:D

Regarding the signs, is there a font available for the letters, or did you make it up? I’m looking around for some fictional lettering to use on sci-fi projects.

Lovely job James - what are the ground floor walls made of MDF? High density foam?

Ooloo Platts Droid Repair and Service may have a more spacious showroom, but he still can't beat "Honest" Joe the Jawa's prices ...they are a steal  ;)

I've made a start on a Corpo HQ building (as we need somewhere to hide  lol). It'll take a while to complete as I've got a fair amount of other stuff on at the moment.

Rough sketch first and I think I'll be changing the top level to be mainly glass as that will be the control room with consoles and it would be good to see inside it.

I think I might do the internal walls at 5mm as it'll give more room and look less cramped (they're not stuck in yet). I might also bring them down 5-10mm or so as well and get the height by having 'false' ceilings in the upper floors.

Giving it some colour was suggested by Nick so I did a little sample and will be going with the style on the right as it won't look to out of place.

It will probably have a vehicle yard as well but that will be a separate element so it can potentially be used for something else.

Lovely Work Jimbo, I think it's going to be a great one!

I like the colour choice that you're going for, although there is something quite domineering about the HQ being built from off-world materials, making it stand out to the planet's inhabitants.

That’s a good idea but my thinking is that this has been repurposed from something else. I might do another building out of different materials. Don’t know what sort of building though  ???

Oof is that going to be 2 tone like old military complexes (imagine bond in goldeneye moscow KGB prison/archives) that will look cool, i like the yellow stripe. That's going to look cool if so. You could do 2 tone inside too to differentiate the different levels or departments.

But one little issue, theres only 3 floors James? I think Akula's may be bigger.. you may need the architects to do overtime to rectify that post haste. ;)
