[hemble]

Awesome work as always, Ron. Making the kamas out of dried out baby wipes, genius. Very resourceful.

Thanks heaps Spud, the bay wipes are excellent to use and are also great for robes.

Never would have thought of that.

Yeah I use them to clean my brushes and had a dry unused one and decided to try it with a Kenobi figure and it worked like a charm.

As always love it. By the way where do keep all of this stuff, how is it all displayed?

Cheers LOPIE, I have shelves for them but am running out of space very fast as all the builds I have been doing are to sell at the local Con in June.

Hi All,

Completed this display this morning.

Luke Skywalker - Jedi Knight

Recipe

Luke - is from Hasbro's BS 6" line and I covered up the pin connections on either side of the legs but did it so that the knee's can still be posed. I repainted and weathered him using Vallejo paints.

Base - the base/steps are made from foam board cut to shape and glued. The pylons holding the stairs and the hand rail are made from plastic tube and rod. I painted the base using Vallejo paints.

Hi All,

Finished a commission piece last night.

Recipe

Scout/Speeder - are from Bandai and have been built straight out of the box. They both have been painted and weathered using Vallejo paints and pastel chalks.

Base - is a cheap picture from and the ground was built up using a mix of spakfilla/sand/dirt and then spread over the base. Before it dried I used old branches for trunks and before adding them to the base I soaked them in metholated spirts to dry them out and stop rotting and kill any little bugs.

Once the trunks were inplace I then used a mix of static grass/sand/dirt/lichen moss and small twigs and mixed these all together and used PVA glue to adhere it to the base.

Once the dead foliage/ground was dry I then gave it several washes of Vallejo's Chocolate brown andleft it to dry. I then used the clover type plants and the pointy leaf plants from JoeFix Studio and glued them inplace.

The ferns are fro the local craft shop and I get them from the fake flower section and tehn cut them to size and glue them inplace.

The grass tufts are from miniNatur and the moss is a mix of spakfilla/sand and Vallejo Medium green paint and then I use a old brush and dap it over the areas were I want it to go.

Hi All,

Completed a commission piece for a mate, please enjoy.

Recipe

Fett - Fett is from Bandai and was built staright out of the box, I glued the joints and then filled them in and once that was all done I used tissue paper for the outfit.

The weapon has had it's muzzle sealed and a muzzle from a DLT-19 was glued on and the ribbing along the barrel was doen using thin strips of plastic card. The cape was doen using a dried baby wipe and the several washes were done and then it was cut to shape and glued inplace.

Base - is built up foam board and balsa wood, I used watered down spakfilla to cover the walls. While the spakfilla was drying I got a lightly damp baby wipe and dapped it over the spakfilla to give it a more natural look.

The consoles were done using plastic card and the pipe is plastic tube, I used greeblies from the parts box for the bench section and the grill was cut out from a plastic fly swatter. The figure and base were painted and weathered using Vallejo Paints and pastel chalks.

Hi All,

Recipe

Vader - Vader's body and helmet is from Bandai, the head is from Hasbro and I just needed to trim the bottom of the neck to make it fit correctly.

The cape and inner robe were cut from some material I picked up from the local craft shop.

Base - Is made using Balsa wood and then a piece of high Density foam for the rock. I ripped the foam apart and then used a piece of sand stone and started tapping it around the foam to give it a more realistic look.

I then added Woodland Scenics Water Effects to make the lava details then used the following Vallejo Paints to paint it.

First I painted it flat white then a drybrush of yellow was done and once dry a dry brush of red. Once the red was dry I then drybrushed dark brown and the finally matt black.

I then used Woodland Scenics Realistic Water to give it more depth and give it a glowing effect.

Hi All,

Completed this one last night.

Recipe

AT-ACT Pilot - was originally a Bandai Shoretrooper repainted using Vallejo paints to match the AT-ACT pilot. The marking on the stomach area is from the decal set that comes with the Shoretrooper. The Imperial logo on the helmet was taken from the Bandai AT-ST decal set and both decals were painted red.

Base - is made from balsa wood and then the sand and water were done using a mix of spakfilla and sand. Once appiled to the base I let the mix dry for about 10 mins that I used a medium brush and made tha waves using it.

After the waves were done I pushed the stormtrooper helemt and E-11 blaster in the mix. Onc eteh mix was dry I painted the sand and water using Vallejo paints and then I used Woodland Realistic water to give it some depth an dto make it look wet.

Hi All,

Completed this one this morning.

I can't take credit for the paint scheme on this one I have to thank Herman Guerrero from the Bandai Star Wars FB page for that. When I saw that he did this paint scheme to his I had to do one, cheers Herman for the inpsiration.

Recipe

Trooper - is the death trooper from Bandai and it was painted and weathered using Vallejo paints and pastel chalks.

Base - is just a generic base that I have kept and it was made using foam and straws for the pipes. The wall and sand were done using spakfilla.
