Splendid, I really like all the extra little details. :)

Brilliant - except that I can't decide whether the Banthas or the buildings are my favourite. ....
The Kessel Run poster is great  8) 8) 8)

Oh ta, the posters were resized to 1/48 A1 posters from pictures on the interwebs! :D There are some great fan stuff out there!

Absolutely awesome mate.
Will you be getting some of the fantasy flight banthas when they release them for the next imperial assault expansion?
Really impressed with the painting and terrains. The dice tower is such an awesome idea for a terrain piece!

p.s. I prefer the caramel tim tams

Nah I'm happy with the small force of Tuskens I have so far, no need for extras. ... yet. Though Stormies are a different matter ;) Thanks Beefcake. This site is very inspirational, id learned about dice towers on here, before having a game filled with terrain where I learned I needed one. lol

The new dark chocolate coffee ones in woolworths are great ;)

Thanks Mamma and Bibbles. :D Your encouragement to add bits is appreciated. That is often the "im over this now" part of the build. lol The game design issue I find is leaving room for miniatures to be placed on/around the  300mm x 210mm terrain tiles after the big stuff is squeezed in (fits in a PAPPIS BOX). Detritus makes it hard to place minis. :/

Cheers
Matt

I couldn't leave them there all alone  :'(

These Little Spacelords at $5 each are headed for a bath - in Detol!

Thanks Karsten. I made the little bottles by stretching sprue over a flame. You have to drink in space right?

Not too much to report over here, ive been fiddling about with two space craft.

Here is a piccy of one. A Action Fleet Naboo Starfighter I picked up at the time the movie was out.



It scales quite nicely.

With a burst of terrain energy I'm throwing my hand into the Sandport colony race.

They are 3mm foamcore structures (with a little card for minor details such as stairs), coated in PVA and sand, sealed with watered down PVA before being smeared in wall filler. As with my post apoc shanty town I have capped my doors at 40mm high x 20mm wide and a single floor is 45mm high. I find this is high enough to block line of sight and means they take up less room when stacked vertically in a box.

They await another sealing with PVA and then undercoating.

I have applied a few resin features from antenocitis workshop, including screens and power couplings.


The marketplace


The scrapyard


The hive of scum and villainy - aka "the local"

Put that in your pipe and smoke it lads  ;) Let the race to colonize sandplanet continue!!!  >:D

Cheers
Matt
