Denziens starwars

A friend of mine was having a clear out and asked if I’d like some star wars toys from the 80s. I said no thanks at first thinking the wife wouldn’t want more rubbish in the house. Then I thought hang on what if they have some vehicles. When I saw a B wing and Slave 1 I said yes please right away. The At St wont work bit I can play with that. The two ships should work for scale after I checked the shots from the film and compared it with my minis. I’ve not painted up a toy before so I’m not sure how to go about it so if any one has any techniques before I ruin them I’d be glad of it.

Barricades play a big part providing cover in SWL but doesn’t really suit the streets of Naboo so I picked upsome planters from Sarissa and planted a few model railway plants and job done. Should look good framing the streets of Theed once I get a few more buildings.

I picked up some terrain tiles from TTcombat 4×4 and mapped out my beach line so when rearranged it can be a river. I’ve never done water effects before or anything this ambitious so it was trial and error with filler over boarding to create the terrain.

I covered the boards in sand and painted them before flocking and adding my water effect with a drop of paint to give it some colour. This took a bit of practice to get the colour and level of gluppyness right. The good thing about this board is I can use for other games from fantasy to historical as well as starwars and I had this in mind from the start.

Gluing a couple of bottle caps together always works for star wars as containers and look good on every planet.

I was itching to get hod of one of these gun turrets for my Hoth board. It makes a good objective marker. Unfortunately mine came with a broken gun barrel so I had to glue it back together again. Of course I painted it up for Hoth but i guess any colour scheme would work for other boards.

Quick paint job of my AT ST. Grey spray followed by a wash and some dry brushing. I wanted it to blend in with as many battlefields as possible with the base. It should look Ok on most tables but probably not Hoth. Needs another dry brush. Judging by the impact mark on it’s side I reckon some Ewok has been swinging logs its way.

After playing Battlefront 2 I spotted the doors of the buildings in the city of Theed are black with a silver trim. This makes the historic looking buildings look more sci fi. After re painting my building I started work on a little piece of Roman architecture I thought might blend in on Naboo.
