Hemble Dioramas and Customs

[hemble]

Hi All,

This one is for a client he built the kit and wanted me to paint it up for him. He wanted it to the 501st and wanted a small and simple base to go along with it.

Recipe

Figure - is from Bandai and as mentioned it was built by the client and I used Vallejo paints and pastel chalks to paint and weather him.

Base - is a Bandai base with balsa wood sides and I used a mix of spakfilla/dirt/paint and mixed it all together and then spread over the base.
Once it dried I used a mix of static grass/lichen moss/mulched leaves to make the ground work and then used reall clumps of grass for the grass tufts.

I keep forgetting to ask...are the figures free standing or are they mounted somehow?

Hey mate 90% are mounted with either pins or thin metal rods and the other 10% are free standing like the 501st trooper.

Hi All,

Dio is done.

Recipe

Figures - are from Bandai and built straight out of the box and I added stockings to the joints.

Base -is from the dewback kit from stannarts but at the moment his website is down. I painted the whole base matt black and then painted it with artist paint Slate. I then mixed spakfilla and sand and added black and a little white and applied to the base.

Once dry I then dry brushed the rocks with various shades of grey until I was happy with the look. I then used model railway static grass and once dry I used grass tufts from miniNatur and applied them using super glue.

Hi All,

Recipe

Pilot - is from Hasbro and I superglued the joints and then puttied them up and once the putty was dry I used tissue paper to cover the outfit. I used the open hands from the Bandai Stormtrooper so the hands could lock together as the Hasbro hands were to closed to give them that stand at ease look.

Fighter - is from Bandai is 1/72nd scale and was built straight out of the box and I used a piece of plastic rod and the end of the stand attachment that comes with the kit to secure the fighter to the base.

Base - The fighters base is the one that comes with the kit and the pilots base is two Bandai bases that comes with the figures. I glued the two bases together and the painted them and used to empty inhalers for the canisters.

I painted everything using Vallejo paints.

Hi All,

Recipe

Troopers - are from Bandai and built straight out of the box and I then covered the joints with stocking material and then painted weathered them using Vallejo paints and pastel chalks. The bino's I got from a mate over on FB Bandai forums and the strap is just a piece of thin leather.

Base - is from the Stannarts Dewback resin kit and the sand is a mix of 50% sand/ 45% spakfilla/ 5% sand paint. Once the lot was mixed together I then applied it to the base and once dry I then painted and weathered the rocks with Vallejo Paints and pastel chalks.

Awesome as usual! Always love the ground work on the bases.

Hey All,

I did another Clone yesterday it made him into a Commander but of no one in particular. but I'm looking for a Wolfe sculpt so I can do him later down the track

Recipe

Trooper - is from Bandai and is built straight out of the box. He has two phase 2 helmets one with the visor up and one down, I used the head from Hasbro's Jango Fett figure and puttied the neck section then inserted a plastic tube for length then a small piece of electrical cord that I removed the wiring and that connects to the ball socket on the neck piece. The neck cover is just a piece of stocking wrapped together then glued into place.

Base - is from the kit with balsa wood sides and then a mix of sand 40%/spakfilla 50%/paint 10% was mixed together and placed over the base and while it is hardening I made to feet impressions so that the figure can be placed on the base without falling over.

Once the mix was dry I then used potty mix and covered the base and left it to dry and then it was given a wash of Vallejo's Flat Brown and German Cam Dark Green and this was spread over the potty mix to tone down the colours. I used plants from JoeFix Studios for the palm looking palnts and the spike plants and repainted and dry brushed them and the grass tufts are from Army Painter.
