Title: Yet another Star wars thread
Post by: gamer Mac on October 19, 2016, 04:00:00 PM
I have recently got myself the imperial assault box set.
So I thought I would start a thread on my progress
The first figure painted

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/26/1912_19_10_16_5_38_43_0.jpg)
I am intending to build a board to suit these but I am still undecided as to what to build.
My choice is between an imperial base or a rebel base set in a wood not intending to do much in the way of interiors but I am thinking of a landing area but that will depend on what ships I can get a hold of. My google-fu is week at the moment and having trouble finding what is out there.
So if anybody has some more knowledge please pass it on
also looking for inspiration for the base

Welcome to the Dark Side  >:D

Build an Imperial base and scratch build everything  :D

A really good start. I would go with an Imperial base or maybe a bunker complex with attached helipad? ;)

Great start Colin. An Imperial base within a woodland set up could look great.

Post by: OSHIROmodels on October 19, 2016, 11:28:04 PM
Depends what you're after really mate. Ground based or flyers? Civvy or military? New or old?

There's not a lot out there in kit form in the right scale that's suitable for the Star Wars setting. There is the Bandai AT-ST (cracking kit) and not much else  :?

Just get the plasticard out  :D

cheers

I am after anything,  is there not any 1/48 scale tie or x-wing models? I did find a snow speeder. What about speeder bikes?
I have an AT-ST from the assault box set
Title: Re: Yet another Star wars thread
Post by: OSHIROmodels on October 20, 2016, 08:07:23 AM
There's a 1/48 x-wing from Bandai which is a splendid kit. Revell do a few kits but the scale is out of whack. There will be some older AMT/Ertl kits on eBay probably and there's always the smaller vehicles from WotC bendy plastics, landspeeders and the like.

Just have a good hunt around for an hour or two.

Or just get the plasticard out  :D

There's  a 1/52 snow speeder mate they were cheap as chips on Amazon recently. There's a few nice conversions people have done moving the T-47s out of the cold. (Action fleet one).

Title: Re: Yet another Star wars thread
Post by: OSHIROmodels on October 22, 2016, 08:22:24 AM

There is the new Disney First Order Speeder that works pretty well....

Although you should be able to pick one up cheaper elsewhere as they were about £8 when they came out last year.

Can't find anything that suits me
So I thought I would take the advise given and Get the plastic card out
I decided to cheat a bit and use card for the basic construction, I will cover it in plastic later on

Went with my brother to a car boot sale today and added another ship to this project
But first up some more progress with my freighter

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/26/1912_06_11_16_3_18_07_0.jpg)

and next the new ship, cost a whole £6. To me appears to be a good scale, what do you think

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/26/1912_06_11_16_3_22_25_2.jpg)

Just a few screw holes to fill, a new paint job and it will be good to go
I also received a package from combat zone yesterday as suggested by commander vyper earlier in the thread
They looked good on this site

Slave 1 looks great (a tad small but for £6 you can't argue  :D). The freighter is coming together nicely as well  8)

If you can hold on until the new year, then I will have a new line of resin terrain for sale - crates, barrels and stacks.

Ouch, those barrels and console things look terrible. Have you complained to them?

The freighters coming along nicely and it looks like where on the one hand you lucked out with the scenery, on the other you came up trumps at the carboot sale.

Colin, I found this in Lidl for £11.99. It's a 1:51 First Order TIE fighter from Revell. It's a push fit kit but it's pretty nice and not too bad size wise. The image shows some Imperial Assault figures and a WotC bendy. Even better, it makes the TIE engine sound and has a flashy red light.

Mantic do some crates (http://www.manticgames.com/mantic-shop/mantic-scenery-and-terrain/individual-kits/product/deadzone-resin-equipment-crates.html) for deadzone.

Not cheap, not "official", but they're plastic, and cleanly cast.

I have the Revell Slave 1 model, which is slightly smaller than that one, but yours looks "good enough"tm

I've been enjoying the freighter build, hopefully all those surfaces will paint up without too much trouble

I almost put it back thinking that it would look too much like a toy but it doesn't. There's one small screw hole to the rear that will easily cover. I'm really pleased with it and thought it might tick some boxes with your own project.

Post by: zemjw on December 08, 2016, 08:56:59 PM
I checked some stuff when I got home, and the Mantic crates are resin, not plastic - but still cleanly cast.

I was going to suggest Spartan Scenics (http://www.spartangames.co.uk/products/spartan-scenics/accessories) for consoles (and also crates). However,  the "buy scenics" link on the Spartan Games website leads to an "unknown category" page, so they may have dropped them :(

Still got the front door to finish

Gamer Mac, I'm always left speechless by scratchbuilding talents like yours. Both the house and the Falcon are looking great.

I have to admit to not having read most of this thread, but may I ask a question anyway? It seems you are using the Imperial Assault rules for your project. Do you think that game is worth picking up for a 54mm Star Wars project I'm working on? I much prefer the larger scale and so would really only purchase it for its rules and mission ideas, selling off the minis and possibly the tiles that come with it. What attracts me to the game especially is it seems to be a solid set of rules, along with the fact that the missions/campaign engine sound like they'd be really useful. So, do you think the missions could be ported to a standard tabletop with similar terrain as the tiles? I guess what I'm asking is how tied to game components is it?

Thank you for any information, and keep up the great work!   
Title: Re: Yet another Star wars thread

If it's a skirmish system you're looking for, there's a thread about Star Wars skirmish rules that's on the go at the moment - http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=111750.0

Not wanting to hijack the thread, but is it the 54mm Star Wars Command figures you're using, or is it something else?

(No hijack intended) Zemjw, I use a mix of Hasbo's Star Wars Unleashed Battle Packs, Applause SW cake decorations (which are actually rather good, though a little bigger than the former), Diagostini metals and those by Action Masters. All ready painted, and all quite good to my eye. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming...  :)

Title: Re: Yet another Star wars thread
Post by: Elk101 on September 11, 2018, 09:48:21 PM
The Imperial Assault stuff is a lot smaller than the new Legion stuff. I'm pretty sure Agis' thread has some comparison shots. I picked some up on ebay as I only wanted the figures too. You can sometimes get a reasonable deal but be prepared to either spend a lot or lose a lot of auctions (I lost a lot of auctions!).

Maybe we should do that at BLAM sometime, everyone contributes at least one building (as we can all build at least one easily enough) and some scatter (more if you can manage it) and see what we can put together for a massive game....

Not so soon but we had a discussion and we decided to go with a forest board instead of the desert one
Found an easy tutorial  online for making trees
First one, just to finish the base when I talk to my Brother to decide how we are going to finish it
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/36/1912-051118100114-361801341.jpeg)

Got five of these on the go and I also had a long tube that I am going to make into a fallen tree

I think it is not too bad for scale, what do you think?
With some figures for scale
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/37/1912-130119125832-37111920.jpeg)
The fold out wings are a bit big for a wargame table but otherwise it will be good for an objective or start point for a rebel crew
A paint job and it will be good to go

We had our first game of Galactic Heroes using the figures seen in this thread
It was played a few weeks ago but I was unable to post pictures of the game as the tree in the middle of the game was still in the BSC.
The game was the mission from the rule book "Taking down the force field" with a force of rebels carrying a bomb and a squad of storm troopers defending the stand in for a force field, a moisture vaporator, we don't have a force field generator.

I am sorting out a game that we hope to take to BLAM. For the game we need four forces, so far we have Stormtroopers, Rebels, I am trying to get together an alliance navy force and my brother is painting bounty hunters
Each force needs a heavy blaster, I have one for each of the others but nothing for the Navy, so I have come up with the idea of a droid driven vehicle mounting a heavy blaster
This is what I have come up with so far, what do you think is it Starwarsy enough?

A couple of years ago on this thread I started building a freighter, I am needing it for a game next month so I thought I had better get it finished
This is a few photos of my progress

Was struggling for a cockpit so tried to build my own. I built this out of some foam and bits of plastic, sanded it smooth, but it all melted when I spray painted it

I’d possibly suggest going over it again with black and making sure it’s in all the recesses then giving it a dusting of grey spray then an even lighter dusting of your chosen ship colour.

I can only echo what everyone else is saying, great scratchbuilding Colin! That ship would actually fit in a few sci fi universes, not just Star Wars.

I like that a LOT Colin! 8) The red canopy/turret looks as if the owner has just built it with unpainted metal panels.

Collin,I am sorry, but the falcon with gaming inside is made: http://www.tanksandtrolls.co.uk/Millennium%20falcon.htm
Maybe you should upgrade and build the deathstar in 28mm for a game to rescue Leia (Part IV)  ;)
