Well still waiting on my order 3D print) but hopefully it wont be too long before it arrives and the diorama can be finished. In other news it might be a while before im about as ive just had some not so great news from the hospital and ive got to sort all that out. Anyway, bare with...

I do miniature bases but also gaming terrain too. These days most of my models are for display so when i get the chance to do one i get stuck in lol :wink:

Thankyew kindly RB - it sits at around 99% atm - ofc i could leave it as is but tbh i feel its a little lacking so i put my order in earlier in the week and once its here i can get the whole thing rounded off nicely :toast:

thanks guys :biggrin: im just waiting for some final bits in the post to finish the scene. In the meantime heres some better pics - i had to use a different backdrop as my photo booth was a tad too small lol - ofc there will be a last set once its all done and done (hopefully it wont be too...

getting there......ill get some more pics in daylight but for the most part the diorama base is done, just waiting for the last elements so i can finish it fully - but heres a few pics for now :biggrin:

Thanks :toast: im not but i do like diorama building and make alot of scenics for table top gaming

and theyre coming thick n fast tonight lol :BRAVO:a few more, been adding the 'bracken' these are laser cut by Gamers Grass, about 20 in a pack, still more to go yet but hopefully its going in the right direction

annddd a few more (that i forgot to add earlier lol) :hammerhead:

Thanks all :biggrin: coming along.....still a ways to go yet So the latest progress, once all the base painting was dry it was all given its washes/shades & highlights. After this had all dried i began adding the vegetation firstly to the ground area then moving up across the surfaces. Using...

So some of the basic painting on the 'core' base elements down so far. The cork bark, large 'stick' upon it and larger chunks of cork bark were drilled and pinned then fixed in place with CA. The resin tree stumps were then set in position with CA before the base was given a go over with coarse...

so some more of the core elements onto the base today.......there will be alot of vegetation later on, but for now, letting this dry. :biggrin:

would NOT like to have to clean THAT up lol

Annddddd we're off! (well ish) :biggrin: Getting some of the elements together for the Endor forest base - ofc there will be alot more than whats shown, but i thought a rough idea of whats being used helps lol. I boughts some resin 'blasted tree stumps' to give me a few options size wise for...

:biggrin: Have no fear, tis i - builder of things, seeker of shrinkrays (:wink:) Having finished the ATST build (see the 'guess whos back...' thread) im now ready to move on to its display, which will be a small diorama/vignette from RoTJ - the Endor fight. This is going to be made from various...

Thanks all for your kind words, the build turned out really well, but it was a great kit to put together even without the greeblification - a nice model all round that you can do loads with if you really wanted to. Now its all done and dried its just bits of house keeping and on to the diorama...

Well, here we are, after a final push the ATST is pretty much done, ready to move on to part 2 of this build. BUT before that happens, heres a few pics of the finished article - 1st pic is to show some of the detailing put onto the leg tops to flesh them out a bit. i used laminating from spare...

this is very true - i think when it comes to builds we all have our own little mods/hacks that we use to make the models strong and stable lol - tbh when so much effort goes into design, refinement and ofc the builds that people create, its a shame to lose something when its all done -...

I wanted to keep close to the instructions of the build, but realised that my builds ankle joint, although sturdy, may benefit from a little extra lamination around the joint lol just my take - i think its also materials/card types used, but i wanted to be safe so when it goes on display itll...

Been a bit busy the past cpl of days (decorating) but finally got some progress on the feet lol. These are reasonably straightforward to put together, the core parts (71) forming the inner 'shoe' that the 'ankle' joint of the lower leg fits into. As per the instructions to do this we laminate...

Currently chipping away at the legs and feet, almost there......:biggrin: The lower part(s) of the legs had already been cut, laminated, glued, 'layered' and tidied up, so the last part(s) to do are the feet and 'thighs' These have been laminated to about 2mm, hole punched and glued - apart from...
