Title: "Buzzing the Tower" - Bandai Turbolaser and B-wing
Post by: Unreality on August 03, 2017, 08:38:36 PM

Finished this dio last night. It's a mix of the Bandai Turbolaser and Death Star tile from the A-wing set and a B-wing from the Fantasy Flight Games line.

Most of this was focusing on the painting (and not stressing), and I didn't do much building at all.

Thanks for looking!

And here's a few shots of the black-basing technique.

Airbrush mottled squiggles to the surface in white

Airbrush a super-thin blending coat in the base color you want

Finally, add some highlights and/or brush-painted details.

I moved it and put it on the front pages. Very nice and good to see you back around.

Awesome work indeed and great idea on using the Fantasy Flight Games mini's they work perfectly with the tower.

Thanks man. I do love the FFG minis, even if I don't play the game.

Thanks. I hope I've inspired a few other people to try it, as it's a pretty simple process.
