Title: Mos eisley terrain
Post by: Ranger on 19 March 2013, 09:09:41 PM: Hello Everybody.

Spent alot of time reading the forums trying to speed my dull working day along.

Thought you might like to see this Star Wars terrain I've been messing around with for a few months.

Made from foam core, card and the bits and pieces scavenged from the street, then painted in various Farrow and Ball tester pots (mos Eisley has gone very middle class recently).

Cheers!

Talk about making an entrance! Beautifully done.

Post by: Ranger on 20 March 2013, 08:40:07 PM: Thanks everybody for the friendly welcome and kind comments.

To answer a few questions, the scale is 28mm, somebody rightly spotted the WOTC Star Wars figures in a couple of the photos.

Two of the roofs are removable, most notably the Cantina which was the first building I made and everything else sprouted up around it.

I have added another few pitures for those interested.

thanks again.

Post by: uti long smile on 20 March 2013, 08:48:05 PM: Oh, it has the Cantina too. Sweet baby Jesus.

Post by: area23 on 20 March 2013, 08:50:24 PM: Marvellous! Love the Tardis. I'll try not to envy you for wasting time on LAF at work. :D

All the buildings are fixed to the board, right?

The Tardis made me chuckle… lol

Post by: Mason on 20 March 2013, 11:15:59 PM: Oooh!

Much appreciated, as I could do with all the inspiration that you can throw about!

....but can you bullseye wamp rats on your T-16 back home? ;D
Title: Re: Mos Eisley Terrain
Post by: No Such Agency on 22 March 2013, 08:31:16 PM: Wow. Amazing work. I assume you used those craft store white styrofoam balls for the dome roofs? That's what really says "Tattooine architecture" to me.

Yeah, I forgot to mention, that drinks contraption is amazing!
Title: Re: Mos Eisley Terrain
Post by: Ranger on 24 March 2013, 06:43:54 PM: Glad you like it. The domes are actually clear hard plastic rather than the polystyrene type. I find they give a crisper finish when painted.

I tried to mix the colours of the buildings using different shades of cream, although when the weathering was done some of the subtleties were lost.
