Re: AKULA’s Star Wars thread - pg11 Mining Guild Tie Fighter

Thanks everyone, glad you like the modified Tie.
I have the very same kit waiting for assembly. If you used the kit with two TIEs and a Deathstar base, that is.

It is indeed..although I have more than one waiting to be built  ;)

What's the sand crawler you've got in the background there, it's enormous.

It's actually nearer 1:72 scale...it was available for a brief time from the Disney parks, but goes for silly money now on fleabay. More photos of the sand crawler on pg5.




This has all the hallmarks of an Akula project ;D

If you could only see the the todo list for this project ...  ;)

I did the striping and logos according to jedipedia-lore (and of course a little dirty and run down -it's the mining guild after all)

They look great. The surface of the wings on the AMT kit put me off trying to paint something similar, as I didn't want to grubby the wings up.

Btw, not sure if everyone has seen this Star Wars parody…

The first of my Corporate Sector Tactical Forces….

(prints)… in need of some touching up judging from the closeup  ;D




The bunker is from Galactic Warzone - I’ve based it up to make it a little bit more interesting - the base allows me to add some grilled flooring (laser cut MDF from Fenris).




A useful little piece of terrain…with the addition of a lift, it could be the entrance to an underground facility, or an armoury etc etc

Maybe they just aren’t being used correctly…  ;) :D

 lol

To be fair, it was seeing yours that made me want to add some to my own project

:D

Managed another half dozen Corporate Tactical Enforcers today, to give me a round ten…having seen how poorly Jim’s team fared in their first game, I figured that I needed the numbers  ;)

May I suggest you follow the tactical advice of a Colonial marine (Alien),
'We gotta take off & Nuke them from orbit'.

lol lol lol

A friend, who watched the films at the cinema, could not understand why the Death Star
had to wait until the target planet had cleared the moon before firing. 'Blow up the Moon!'
he uttered, 'The Moon will hit the planet'.

May I be the 94th person to point out the moon was the target (the planet being a gas giant).
