Title: 2' x 2' gaming surface and non-gothic sci fi scenery
Post by: Vanvlak on March 16, 2014, 04:25:52 PM

I just finished the surface; the scenery will be tinkered with further, although the featureless appearance will remain as simple as possible.

Looking really good. The cushion mountains in the background need a little work though  ;)

Those are - er - clouds. As on Jupiter.
And you should have spotted the spotted one too, I'm very proud of that one!

Great looking board. Your minimalist theme is executed very well.

Isn't that flyer a converted AT43 walker?

Very Nice terrain.  Where did the silver ship come from?  I like it!

Thank you.
It's the lower hull of a Trade Federation Tank kit from Star Wars (the prequels). The missiles are a pair or rocket kits, the landing gear (which you just see) comes from a Tau model and the engines are keys from an old keyboard.

Any chance of closer photos of the ships (especially the converted AT43 walker) ?

Really like that (and the scenery too, of course),  :)

Thanks ElPrez.
I had posted pics of both previously, will see if I can dig up the links.

Here's one: the XB (the silvery beastie) - pics are some way down the thread.

List is on the bottom page of the link, but needs to be updated further.
