WIP: Tatooine Building

[Kes]

Very cool - one (strange?) question - what did you use as the covering? Tetrion?

Cheers,

[Andym]

Very good matey  

I'm kinda jealous that you've done so many already  

cheers

James

Cheers Jim!

It does help that I'm not doing interiors, like some mad people! It does help using the Action Fleet stuff as well. That helps speed up the detailing!

Shaping up lovely Mr M!

I'm glad you like it!! Phew!!

The shuttle looks a bit big for the landing pad?
Other stuff looks great

Ta Colin!

It doesn't help that they don't do plate warmers any bigger!! I suppose in theory I could of halved it and elongated it, but the donut shaped spaceport is quite popular on Tatooine.

'Kin brilliant start, sir.
 

Now I am finding it REALLY difficult enough to stay away from Tatooine as it is and you go and do this.
I hate you even more now!
 

Thanks Paul! One does try to be hated!!

two questions first what range is the shuttle on the landing pad from? and second could you post a pic of some figs near the action fleet speeders for scale? this is great and ill be following your thread

I hope these pics help Wolfie. Figs are (left to right) Crooked Dice, Action Fleet, GW. The cutting pad has a 1cm grid on as well that should

Love your buildings, and the converted speeder and bases for them too.

Must dig out the SW figs, and some of the Styrofoam I've been collecting for a while now, and get to work.

You definitely have a very nice Tatooine vibe going on there.

Get it sorted man! I'd love to see what you come up with!

Cheers Mako!

Cheers,

I'm not sure what Tetrion is mate. I tried Googling it. Is it filler? I've used Polyfilla finishing skim here. Quite thickly and roughly laid on and sanded when dry.

Thanks for the support guys!

[OSHIROmodels]

Tetrion is a branded filler te same as Pollyfilla mate 

cheers

[Captain Blood]

They look great Andy.

Must be quite tempting to make all these adobes a bit more generic, so they'll do for either Tatooine OR the Western Desert...

The Action Fleet stuff does vary in scale a little. I am treating this more like a Skyhopper rather than the bigger Tydirium.

There are still plenty on EBay. I've been collecting bits for this for years and years, so have picked the AF terrain and ships fairly cheaply.

Thanks for the support guys!

Right!
That does it!
I am getting my Tatooine shit out over the weekend and seeing what I have to work with.


The pièce de résistance is the clincher, though!
 

[wolfie907]

the tydrium is also action fleet then cool ive been trying to get good pics of toys and models that at least roughly scale in at 28mm I haven't got any action fleet yet cause I wasn't sure if they would be big enough the speeders look perfect

[War In 15MM]

This is good stuff!

[Andym]

Ohh! I never thought of that! I could have a desert mud building city for my 8th Army zombies!

Thanks, I guessed it was.

Anything you build would go lovely with your western table bits.

I would say the shuttle is too small. Speeders will be fine though.

That thought will probably give him a funny turn.
 

[Kes]

Thanks Andy & Jim, I thought it was something like that - I keep wanting to do some Afghan-style buildings and I think that is the finish I'm looking for

[Suber]

Absolutely awesome work there!

[FramFramson]

I am imagining a very odd scenario here.

"Mesa wasn't knowin' nuffing about blagging at cantina"

"Shut it! You're nicked chummy! Another for the wagon, praetor bill."

The Sweeney: Tatooine Branch!
There's an idea!
