Cool bit of kit, and the droids are great.

Re: AKULA’s Star Wars thread - pg23 Dark Jedi & Padawan

Thanks everyone  :)

A much smaller update today…managed to get a couple of dark Jedi finished.

At the start of this project I wasn’t really bothered about force users, but I like the idea of Fallen Jedi…

The Baylan Skoll mini is from Black Remnant…as is I believe the other mini, but it’s not based upon Shin Hati…the “mop” of hair is greenstuffed… Skullforge have also just released versions of both minis, but I didn't fancy paying £20 for 4 different versions of Shin Hati, so I'll wait and see if someone releases them singularly at some point.



Not entirely happy with the lightsabers… in real life it doesn’t look solid orange, but more varied. Equally the reflection of the blade looks a bit odd, so I’ll have to have a play with that again I think  :?

The pose for Baylon is spot on. :)

Shin works well too, would never have guessed it was Greesntuff hair :)

Wow, the whole project is amazing.

Nice models and painting.
Light sabres are difficult to visualise, let alone paint.

Re: AKULA’s Star Wars thread - pg23 Settlement (part 2)

Managed to finish the next module for my settlement - again using one of the excellent Oshiro buildings as the core component.

Welcome to “Honest” Joe the Jawa’s Droid Repair Shop





Walls are blue foam (intentionally a bit wonky) with Oshiro doors as inserts.





I really love the blue container (Oshiro) … in my head it’s full of spare droid parts …. It’s also provides an easy route onto the flat roof of the building. I've added a door at the rear of the building, into the courtyard, providing another route through the board.  Causing a ruckus? Perhaps a bunch of heavies spill into the courtyard from the building...





The scatter is a mix of Oshiro, Crooked Dice, Ainsty, Spellcrow, and Fogou Models. Have also added some posters I found on Reddit to breakup the walls a bit more.





With the bases touching the exterior walls form additional alleyways…





As with the first base, there is also a route through the building base, but also with a potential choke point as you pass through the workshop …

Amazing Akula love the new addition. That new section looks great with all the droid parts and detailing you've done. I like the droid sitting up against the wall the most for some reason :)
