Very nice, although I do like Samurai, hope they don't push this project away from progress.
And a couple of Samurai in a Star Wars setting would do no harm. Light katana....

At this stage I can honestly say I have no interest in Samurai... at this stage  lol

You can stop putting alternative genres in my head James  >:D Is this how Paul feels?  lol

Thanks huesped! The basic paint jobs they come with are a good starting point and save 'blocking' in colours.

You will give in, you will  >:D

Oh I am tempted to make a samurai house, but not a samurai.. yet. Anyway, I finished this.



Landon has a look around the walled off tower, and encounters some jawas wondering if scavenging parts is worth the radiation risk.

Designed to be a cooling tower of some vault/lab, this terrain piece has a definite Star Wars vibe, but will also work in Post Apoc fallout settings.

Next up on the bench;
3 Tuskens on Banthas.
The WotC figure is pretty cheap for its size, and has a surprising amount of detail on the hard plastic bantha. The tusken rider however is a different story and is sadly a little soft on detail.

Thanks for looking!
Matt

LOoking good, mate.
Love the panelling and posters.
 :-* :-*

I agree, mate.
I was going to remove most of the Tusken off of mine and add something else.
An easy enough conversion that should improve the model.

Oh ta, glad others think it works as a dice tower (just not large dice, doh) and as a terrain piece.

I agree, mate.

Nice one. Sadly I want tuskens on my banthas. :/
So, instead of buying WEG, or the least terrible WotC minis for tusken torsos.. I've taken a leaf out of Silent Steve's book and added tissue paper cloaks. It has really helped to make the figures look different too. I'll just add a little GS to add strength, then post a WIP piccy shortly.

Cheers

Pending Bantha WIP piccy... >_>

So...

I got distracted and made this.


Can't have you guys rushing ahead with sand ports without me now.  >:D

On a trip to the recycling bin I spied some small boxes. Hmm.. they look a good size for a house, a quick trip to hot dollar to nab some Styrofoam balls, and a empty pack of Tim Tams for "buttresses" I had blocked out two little buildings.

I covered everything with a coat of gloop (paint, pva and sand) and worked up some layers of paint. Sadly it was a bit gritty, and a little rough for my liking. So... I smeared it with some spakfilla. :D



Thats better.

Now to paint, highlights/details/weathering, fill the coke bottle planter box (in a propper scale), and tart up the machinery parts.

Cheers
Matt

Makes you wonder why more terrain dudes don't add such to their work; helps protect the rest of the project from errant projectiles.

Your distractions make me weep...
