I just thought I would share some pics of an old project of mine that is been given new life.
This is in 10mm so we are pretty small and I will use FUBAR Star wars rules
The board is 3' x 4' Still a lot of work to do mainly terrain and paint.
-
:o :o :o
Wow!
This looks great.
Any chance of some close-ups?
What I can see looks great already.
:-*
What else do you intend to do?
Will be following this with interest.
I aim to start my own Star Wars project next year (Mos Eisley), so may well be badgering you for info on materials used etc...
Hope you dont mind.
:D

lovely Stuff ;D :-*

Wohoa! What's the scale!?
You win at buying! lol

Thanks for the comments.

10mm scale and actually not a lot spent here I bought 4 Diorama plastic kit's from MPC.

Just took some after some quick dry brushing this morning.
What else do you intend to do?
Well try to finish more terrain. The trench was hard to make and still needs detailing.
It is made from sheets of styrene that I molded with a heat gun and some wood cut to form it.
The hanger and the Power generator were from the kits but the snow walls are plaster on styrafoam.
I plan on doing more to the board itself as it is just a white primer coat on hardboard.
Also more terrain in the middle to be completed.
As you can see in the hanger not much is finished paint wise so a lot to be done yet.
But I am at least ready to play some.

Man that is just way cool!
I never knew there were star wars 10mm things out there!
-
Absolutely cool!
A bit of paint or a wash on the rebel spaceships (especially the Falcon) would be much appreciated, too :)
-
nice... I have both of those kits, really need to do something with them...
what are you using for the ATST, shuttles, X and Y wings?

See the pics posted I have 3 sets of the Battle on the ice planet Hoth and 1 set of the Rebel base.

I will do that next.

The kits come with 1 ATST so I have 3 but they are small and not very detailed so I am substituting them with the walkers you see in the previos pics. They are Mico-machines and work quite well with a lot more detail.
The Shuttles are also Micro Machines and will be used only to land Lord Vader and his 501st storm troopers after the generator is destroyed.
Three X & Y wing fighters come with the Rebel base and 1 X-wing comes with the Battle on ice planet Hoth so I have 6 all together.
-
Damn that's sweet.

hmmm... yours look better than I remember mine being, especially the Y wings... are the speeders the ones with the kit as well?

Yes the speeders all come with both kits. You get 3 in Battle on Ice planet Hoth and 4 in the rebel base so I have 13 all together.
You could substitute the Micro machine snowspeeders as they are slightly larger then these and would not go well together.
I plan on only using 9 (Groups of 3) to attack The Empire leaving 4 in the Hanger. The fighters will only be used for evacuation however.

As I promised the Falcon. I am debating on adding a Badab black wash, what do you think?
-
Man this is cool! :D
-
That wash has really brought the Falcon to life!
:-*
I would suggest a watered down black wash on some areas of the the hull, just to create a little variation.
I wish that I had never seen this now.
I want to do this myself!

it seems that those kits are not available anymore though ... just when I got a little excited about this :/

I hate to break it to you but you can still get them on e-bay.
There are several Rebel bases and 1 Battle on Ice planet hoth right now.
I recently got my 3rd set for $16.00 so you have to be patient but they are out there.
Sorry
-
Excellent work!
-
They were really hard to find for a while. But there was a re-release of many of the original Star Wars kits. You should be able to find them fairly cheaply again now. Look for them in discount stores or on the old collecting dust shelves in hobbie stores. I still see them around ocassionally.
-
>:(
now you are forcing me to start a new project! o_o lol
thanks for the heads up :)
-

I've got a few in the garage; actually, prices haven't got high enough to overcome my delusion I'll do something like this someday. lol
I've always wanted to use Full Thrust, take the transport and some micromachines, and do Escape from Hoth. That seems closer to to doable for me.
The fighter ships in the kit are shite, though. REALLY. But, for painted terrain, you've done 'em proud!

Just finished 3 of the 13 T47 snow speeders and 2 squads of 501st snow troopers attached to Lord Vader.

They look great!
