Man that looks good. It is great to see you back too. Off to share.
Thank you Tamer, it's good to be back. Just got out of the habit of building everyday, but the work I've seen on here has inspired me to get back into it.

I started the weathering process. First i disassembled the armor parts. I sanded them with sand paper and a scouring pad. Then I used an exacto knife to create scratches and scars. You can barely see them, but with a blackwash it'll show better. Now I'm just soaking the parts in soapy water.

I know! Too bad you can hardly see it, but a creative person could do something with it.

I weathered the General Grevious. I used the woodland scenics earth colors belive it or not. First black, Tan then Brown. The weathering i had dpne prior now shows up much better. Grevious' armor looks very much like old bones, so thats what I was going for. I also glued many of the peices together using Tamiya styrene cement. It is much better now. Before I could barely touch it without the thing falling apart.

It does seem like it would break apart easily. Good idea on the cement. It looks great.

Yeah I have to ship it across the country. At first I was like, man its gonna be a box of parts when it gets there, but I'm more confident it will survive. I should freeze it in carbonite.

Damn he looks awesome JD and your right it's a pity the chest cavity is covered up as you did an awesome job on it.

The weathering on General Grievous is superb! What a great idea! I am very impressed by all your projects! Will take some time to go through all 30 pages, though!
Love the moisture vaporator especially the worrt! Your modelling skills are excellent and I think the worrt is my favourite sculpt so far! Have you considered to make molds of your sculpts?

    I haven't worked on any projects lately. I've been out of practice. So I figured I would do a quick excersize project. It's a TIE Interceptor, with Imperial airfield base.


 I've been thinking about doing a TIE fighter Imperial air base diorama for a while, but it wasn't until I saw Talonreap's landing pad that I finally got off my duff and built it.

   The base is just 4 bases from the Bandai 1/12 figure kits, fitted and glued together. Then I just painted it matte black, even though it's black already, I wanted to give it a matte sheen.  Then i added a white triangle decal from a model aircraft decal sheet, then placed an imperial decal from the AT-ST kit over that. In my imagination the triangle signifies the TIE INTERCEPTOR landing area.
  I made the light post spire thing out of model kit parts. A 1/35 20mm cannon, and some other various parts.  The laders are from a 1/72 airfield kit, I just glued them together then on to a 1/72 tank deck, to make what I call a maintenance sled. I figured it was a repulsorlift creeper like thing with a ladder system to perform maintenance duties. I have fun inventing my own Star Wars tech. Lol. The figures are Micro Machines TIE pilots and officer with some modifications.

The TIE base diorama looks great.
I like the landing light and the maintenance sled.

Excellent work.
