Star wars Legion (ish) Shatterpoint (ish) scale thread

[jhonpog]

Next up is a WIP light shuttle.  It's made from an old floor mop/ steamer body that I have been dragging around for more years than I'd care to count. But I finally using it so it's proof that all that hoarding is justified

I see this as a converted and upgraded clone wars era ship now doing covert ops for the rebellion.  TO me the body shape looks more like a republic era style and I've glued on a couple of nerf gun pieces to act as upgraded engines and ruining the look of the shuttle in the process.

This one may (or may not) have an interior.  I'm looking for an easy solution to an interior fit out so if anyone has any ideas like me know.

Once again this thing is pretty big probably not that useful on the table unless it's a terrain centre-piece.

Next up is a......fuel tower?  Ha ha I'm not sure what the hell I am doing with this thing.

If anyone can help me finish this with some good ideas of what to do next let me know

Usual construction of pvc pipe/ waste plastic etc

[jhonpog]

Last up is a building that is at about the same level of completeness as the other projects.

Again made out of plastic waste, mdf and timber the idea is the building looks different on all four sides so it can be used in different ways. It also serves for figure storage like my bunker.

It has one neat feature that I'll show when I've finished it. Ideally I like to make two of these and make them stackable so it could be 2 storey or two city blocks etc. Once again you can see those imperial troops hassling that ithorian. What a bunch of punks.

OK I reckon that's enough slightly blurry pics for now.  Please let me know if you have any idea for things I could include on these builds. Cheers!

nice builds

[AKULA]

Very inventive - love the modular building, and the ship (in particular the internal shot)

 

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

Some great projects there, very inventive. I particularly like the cargo lighter.

[Spinal Tap]

There's something about repurposing junk and scratchbuilding that adds so much to terrain when compared to bought stuff.

I love the stuff you've done here.

I like what you are doing, please keep it up.

As one who hates removable roofs 'so that I can place figures in' may I suggest that you make
a (or more than one for alternatives) floor plan. Place this at the side of the table & when/should
any figure enter the ship, move it to the floor plan. With alternative plans it is fun to see the look
of horror on players' faces when the interior is completely different from the last time they entered
this type of ship/building.

If anyone can help me finish this with some good ideas of what to do next let me know

Just bung on a lid with a 'hatch'. I find that makes the terrain piece more usable.

keen to see what you choose to do, plus I want to see the finished items with their paint jobs.

wow thanks everyone for the feedback.  I think I've put way more labour into the cargo lighter than the rest of the projects so far so I think it's my favourite.  I'll post more pics when it's done plus show how far I've gotten with the cargo pods.

Not sure if I've got that fuel tower thing right. I know what I'm trying go for but I'm not sure about the execution. It's about 400mm tall not sure if I want to make it any taller

Thanks very much has.been for the suggestions. I hadn't thought about a floor plan that's a really good idea. It would make a static piece of terrain more interactive as opposed to another lump on the table

Yup I'm keen to see the paint jobs too! For the cargo lighter I'm going to go off whites, greys and lots of grime.  The shuttle I'm not sure but I'd like it to look like a republic era finish that's been heavily used.

For the building I'm thinking either concrete and metal finished or maybe try something a bit more cyberpunk. Dunno I'll see what happens when I get there I guess

[jhonpog]

ok so instead of ploughing on with all my WIP projects i have been TOTALLY DISTRACTED this week with a 3d printed at st.

Thanks to Akula and Eilief for pics and advice but I also blame you both for making it too easy for me to start yet another project

With some good dimensions from Akula I've started hacking up the head of my 3d print and I will reprint the legs slightly bigger tonight.

I've made the head a bit shorter by 10mm and cut all the not-great detailing off the top.  I'm going to add slightly bigger armour plates to the sides and detail the top as close as I can be bothered to the legion/ bandai models.

I cut off the side gun and launcher, reduced the domes they sit on and reglued a bit lower on the head. 

My plan is to add baggage and bits and pieces to make this at st look like it's been used by the imperial army maybe rebuilt from a couple of damaged vehicles and cobbled together a bit.  Any suggestions let me know!

Finally I've made a bit of progress on my lighter I will post pics once it's in primer which is what i should be doing in the first place

Cool plan.

You could try the C3P0 look with an odd coloured leg.

[AKULA]

doesn't look like you need any more measurements

Thanks Ultra yeah it's a mess at the moment but that gave me the idea to keep going!

Agreed I think some colour differences in the parts of the at st will help sell that cobbled together look.  I've been raiding my sons model tank kits for parts to stick on and I think I'll add extra cables etc

ha ha just two more Akula if you don't mind   Length and width of the lower chasis/body would ease my mind.....
