Yet another Star wars thread

[gamer Mac]

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

Welcome to the Dark Side 

Build an Imperial base and scratch build everything 

cheers

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

[Damas]

No, build the Yavin temple!

[Elk101]

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

Where can I get suitable vehicles?

[OSHIROmodels]

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 

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

[OSHIROmodels]

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 

cheers

This!  Didn't do either of us any harm.

That's him speaking to himself! ......or his plastic card Jimbibbly he built!

Nice start Colin!

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