Cheers  :)

Out of interest, how much do you plan ahead when building something like this...or is it a case of winging it?

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

Get your coat  lol

Thanks again chaps  :)

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

You're really cranking 'em out, aren't you?

Great stuff; I especially like the hut and the speeder  8)
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

That hut is a great idea, I really like it. Is this something that might find its way in to the shop?

A forest wampa too!

It is. I’m working on the master with the possibility of having it ready for Salute but there’s so much to do and so little time  lol
