Yet another Star wars thread
« on: October 19, 2016, 04:00:00 PM »
I have recently got myself the imperial assault box set.
So I thought I would start a thread on my progress
The first figure painted


I am intending to build a board to suit these but I am still undecided as to what to build.
My choice is between an imperial base or a rebel base set in a wood not intending to do much in the way of interiors but I am thinking of a landing area but that will depend on what ships I can get a hold of. My google-fu is week at the moment and having trouble finding what is out there.
So if anybody has some more knowledge please pass it on
also looking for inspiration for the base

A really good start. I would go with an Imperial base or maybe a bunker complex with attached helipad? ;)

Great start Colin. An Imperial base within a woodland set up could look great.

Depends what you're after really mate. Ground based or flyers? Civvy or military? New or old?

There's not a lot out there in kit form in the right scale that's suitable for the Star Wars setting. There is the Bandai AT-ST (cracking kit) and not much else  :?

Just get the plasticard out  :D

cheers

Nice paintwork on the commando.

And that looks like a cracking start on your first ship just behind him....

It looks vaguely Kaminoan to me.

I am after anything,  is there not any 1/48 scale tie or x-wing models? I did find a snow speeder. What about speeder bikes?
I have an AT-ST from the assault box set

There's a 1/48 x-wing from Bandai which is a splendid kit. Revell do a few kits but the scale is out of whack. There will be some older AMT/Ertl kits on eBay probably and there's always the smaller vehicles from WotC bendy plastics, landspeeders and the like.

Just have a good hunt around for an hour or two.

Or just get the plasticard out  :D

Lovely work on the rebel. Looking forward to seeing where you go with this. :)
