Sci-Fi and Alternative history campaign X

Yea I just had a lot of trouble with the airbrush. Hopefully touching up with handbrush doesn’t create too much contrast with the airbrush parts, but I fear it will.

Indeed I’ll be going for a jungle base and was thinking of making it really wet-looking with some light water/wet effects. Also want to find some good vines and vegetation to wrap around the ATST to make it look like it’s been walking through the jungle

Hello there makers. I found something interesting in science-fiction model lighting. Fishing lights are indeed small and easy.

Fantastic. Now I can light my models without all those wires! Where I can find those lamps? I found the batteries in Alix, but coudn’t find the lights.

There are a lot. Just notice the size for such lights generally vary from 3mm~10mm

Hi folks.

Great work going on here, imagination running wild!

I’ve had very little bench time recently but managed to work out a mounting system for the front receiver dishes on the “Mouse Thing” using some stock rod and spares from a 1/48 F-16 landing gear set.


Almost ready for primer now but still undecided on a colour scheme. Maybe a dark desert tan or a dull red.

Cheers, D

I am going for some Star Wars Legion Dark Troopers for this campaign. They are roughly 1/48 scale.

More to follow soon :slightly_smiling_face:

Finished the last of Red Squadron. Tried a couple things with the camera and the lighting to bring out the weathering more than the previous pictures of the rest.

The latest purchase has a full head of steam.

After a little bit.

Just the legs left to do. Which is good cause it might take the rest of the year to paint.

or something like this but leaning towards the first option.

Ryan why are you so hard on yourself? You’re just destined to never finish a kit, aren’t you? Paint this one up in standard Imperial Grey and get a second kit at 40% off next week to do up in one of these fancy-schmancy camo schemes. That way you’ll get one in the DONE category. :grin:

Nice start Ryan …looks cool. Whats the length /height of that in 144 ?? BTW, I like the splinter cam… the Empire was very angular in its approach to things … but I also like the idea of Matt’s below … or base grey and then 3 or 4 gunship or ghost grey shades in splinter ?

Thanks Ryan.

I agree with Matt, and Johnny, get one done and then go crazy. Or, get it done in the base color of the splinter scheme, call it done and then later on at a field expedient camo over it.
