Constable's Star Port Thread - #New Faces Around Town p7

Cool stuff.  The buildings are perfect!

[vodkafan]

They look great, Bertie.
Loving the double barrelled roof!
 

In vernacular architecture talk that is called a "twin billy." Lots of 19th century Dutch houses have those hidden behind the large front gable, although not usually rounded of course....

[Constable Bertrand]

I was watching you more... And waiting... And waiting 

Yeah it only took almost two years, wait that is how old my daughter is.. I wonder if there's a connection.

I seem to have missed this the first time around - really captures the Star Wars feel

Thanks Zemjw, I was aiming for that Tatooine feel without being too exclusively SW.

Thanks Old Ben! The biggest hive of scum and villainy this side of the dinner table.

Thanks Paul and Vodkafan, the things you learn on this place. A "Twin Billy" Canteena there must be some clever name for that... What do you have Paul?

Cheers

As the Sands roll through town, and the tumble weeds accumulate along the barn on the edge of town, so too do the years on this thread. 

Work and kiddies sure make things more difficult, but I haven't completely stopped.

Back many moons ago on my visit to the UK i picked up a box of GW Cultists in Bath while on a bus tour with Mrs B and 2yo B. Funny story I was that quick at visiting the store and making the purchase Mrs B decided to go to Maccas and we spent the rest of the bus trip running around town trying to find each other before the bus departed. The upside was that I got to view the roman church for free, albeit VERY quickly.

I adored the spaced robed cultists by Games Workshop when they came out. I thought they needed to be the classic orange and white space suit style and mixed in a few NorthStar Frostgrave Cultists and some Pig Iron heads to make up a few more lads than the box technically allows. A Metal Magic Spacelords Yoyodyne Shigaru joins them, I had rescued him from a display shelf in an antique store. I think they turned out great. Ready to roam the wastes with the other scavies.

Nicely done mate and glad to see you back at it

That one really stood oout for me too.

Great looking town, and I love that dice tower.

[AKULA]

Nice work Matt, love the buildings (esp. the double barrel) and the colour scheme suits the figures really well.

[Metternich]

Your town looks like a real "hive of villainy."

[Malamute]

I was going to post about the roof too. I love that 

[Constable Bertrand]

Thanks James, it's nice picking up the brushes again.

Your town looks like a real "hive of villainy."

It sure is a hive of scum, and plenty of the populace shoot first and ask questions later


Thanks Malamute, Akula, and Hubba. Appreciate the nice words about the double barrelled. There was so much work with the stucco, spackfiller, grit, spackfiller, I tried so many different products to get the right rough smooth texture. Then there was so much paint to bring out the 'layers' of the construction and weathering. I'm chuffed with them too 

Next on the list, Finishing off some small spaceships, hasslefree jedi, and SW Bendy aliens

Two ships have also landed recently in the spaceport, a GW Tau dropship with customised hammerhead front end and a repainted Star Wars Ep1 toy Naboo Starfighter. The Captain and her 2IC check out the new arrivals to see which one would be a good addition to the team, everyone likes shopping day.





Aetherworks MDF Moisture Collectors were great to build and a great price point for what you get. Certainly needed for any sandy planet. I'm not sure if they are still available anymore, they used to do their own lazer terrain but seem to have stopped.

Oops seems like some goons are tampering with them.

[OSHIROmodels]

Splendid 

[AKULA]

great work - particularly love the repaint on the Naboo N1 

[Ragnar]

Oh wow, I have a hammerhead that I want to make less 'Tau' looking.  Yours looks great and is giving me ideas.

[hubbabubba]

I like those C.B. good job.

Can we get a close up of the captain in her shiney epaulets?  I can see that she's a Reaper fig but surely as a captain she deserves her own glamour shot?
