Battle on Ice planet Hoth

[Miniman]

I just thought I would share some pics of an old project of mine that is been given new life.
This is in 10mm so we are pretty small and I will use FUBAR Star wars rules
The board is 3' x 4' Still a lot of work to do mainly terrain and paint.

Wow!
This looks great.
Any chance of some close-ups?
What I can see looks great already.
 
What else do you intend to do?


Will be following this with interest.



I aim to start my own Star Wars project next year (Mos Eisley), so may well be badgering you for info on materials used etc...
Hope you dont mind.

Wohoa! What's the scale!?

You win at buying! 

[Miniman]

Thanks for the comments.

10mm scale and actually not a lot spent here I bought 4 Diorama plastic kit's from MPC.

Any chance of some close-ups?

Just took some after some quick dry brushing this morning.

What else do you intend to do?

Well try to finish more terrain. The trench was hard to make and still needs detailing.
It is made from sheets of styrene that I molded with a heat gun and some wood cut to form it.
The hanger and the Power generator were  from the kits but the snow walls are plaster on styrafoam.
I plan on doing more to the board itself as it is just a white primer coat on hardboard.
Also more terrain in the middle to be completed.
As you can see in the hanger not much is finished paint wise so a lot to be done yet.
But I am at least ready to play some.

Man that is just way cool!

I never knew there were star wars 10mm things out there!

[Argonor]

Absolutely cool!

A bit of paint or a wash on the rebel spaceships (especially the Falcon) would be much appreciated, too 

[anevilgiraffe]

nice... I have both of those kits, really need to do something with them...

what are you using for the ATST, shuttles, X and Y wings?

[Miniman]

See the pics posted I have 3 sets of the Battle on the ice planet Hoth and 1 set of the Rebel base.

A bit of paint or a wash on the rebel spaceships (especially the Falcon) would be much appreciated, too

I will do that next.

what are you using for the ATST, shuttles, X and Y wings?

The kits come with 1 ATST so I have 3 but they are small and not very detailed so I am substituting them with the walkers you see in the previos pics. They are Mico-machines and work quite well with a lot more detail.
The Shuttles are also Micro Machines and will be used only to land Lord Vader and his 501st storm troopers after the generator is destroyed.
Three X & Y wing fighters come with the Rebel base and 1 X-wing comes with the Battle on ice planet Hoth so I have 6 all together.

[Barks]

Damn that's sweet.

Three X & Y wing fighters come with the Rebel base and 1 X-wing comes with the Battle on ice planet Hoth so I have 6 all together.

hmmm... yours look better than I remember mine being, especially the Y wings... are the speeders the ones with the kit as well?

[Miniman]

Yes the speeders all come with both kits. You get 3 in Battle on Ice planet Hoth and 4 in the rebel base so I have 13 all together.
You could substitute the Micro machine snowspeeders as they are slightly larger then these and would not go well together.
I plan on only using 9 (Groups of 3) to attack The Empire leaving 4 in the Hanger. The fighters will only be used for evacuation however.

As I promised the Falcon. I am debating on adding a Badab black wash, what do you think?

[Engel]

Man this is cool!

[Mason]

That wash has really brought the Falcon to life!
 

I would suggest a watered down black wash on some areas of the the hull, just to create a little variation.




I wish that I had never seen this now.
I want to do this myself!
