Reworked the Nevarro Cantina playset to use the arch & window section as a bar back.

The IG taps are resin prints from Redflare Models https://redflare.tech/

Still to come; glassware and backlighting.

That looks really good. Creative use of the Nevarro dio piece as well. I've been pretty impressed looking at the RedFlare stuff. Sounds like you bought the .stl and printed them yourself, am I reading that right?

No, I don't have a printer. I bought these prints from Redflare. I mentioned that they're resin prints because I like the results of his resin printer.

Thanks for the clarification. My son purchased a resin printer sometime ago and I was thinking about purchasing some .stl files from RedFlare for him to print.

I moved the Outpost 423 sign (custom print from Outer Rim Traders), weathered the bar, and added bottles (prints from Redflare Models) to the shelf I added behind the window.

Awesome bar, and great weathering! I like the sign and decorations, I'd drink there.

I really like the placement of the sign. That looks great! The shelf is a good idea as well.

The bar section looks great on your Outpost, Don! Really like the details you added! This playset is definitely a win for your cool project. Also the lights add a level of realism to the scenery! Great stuff, I could look at for hours!

Here's a little peek behind the curtain. I'm building a riser/stage thing for Jabba's dias. I like the idea of him being higher than everyone in the room, and I like the idea of a big custom-figure group shot using the various heights of this to better show the group...eventually.

First, it's just foam. I cut the shapes, then roll a balled-up piece of tin foil across the surface to add the texture. Then "primer" paint it with Mod Podge mixed with black paint. The Mod Podge seals and hardens the foam. Then base-color paint. Then weather. Still a bunch of details planned.
 Oh, and you might notice I took down some wall decorations behind Jabba. Some of that will be coming back, but I wanted to repaint that wall and start over with this new riser.

Wow, that looks really good. The texturing makes it looks very realistic. There are so many Modge Podge products in the line, are you just using the classic/original Modge Podge?

Another great addition. It has me wondering if you ordered the new Boba Playset coming out?
