Hi All,

I hate it when you start new Hoth dios. I usually want them.

It looks great so far.

LOL thanks Shawn.

Hi All,

Added the first layer of snow by using a 90/10 mix of plaster of paris and spakfilla. The stones on top where done by using foam and covering them with the mix.

Happy Belated Birthday Ron!!

Thank you for your kind words with my projects.  This is looking awesome!!!  The wife will hate it but your tempting me with ideas for me next piece, especially as I recently managed to get my hands on The Battle of Hoth set from 2003.  I have a Tauntaun that needs a ice cave to live in!  ;) ;D

Hi All,

Well I have changed the idea for the Bunker from a Solo one to a SW Battlefront one. Yeah you guessed it I was playing Battlefront and was playing the Hoth games, I will have the Rebel standing near the door way after he has just shot a scouttrooper.

I did a small amount of work on the dio today by painting the rocks black and also gave the walls of the bunker and foot grate a wash with watered down black.

Hi All,

I have completed the scout trooper and 90% done on the Rebel soldier. The Scout's joints have been puttied up and then painted/weathered using Vallejo paints.

The Rebel is a converted Hoth Solo figure and I super glued the joints and putted them up. I added cloth for the scarf and around the goggles. The backpack was made using plasti card and greeblies from the parts box, I did the beard using putty and still need to weather him.

Hi All,

The dio is now 90% complete, I just have to add a little depth to the snow and give it an icy look and then paint the edges.

The pipes/tubes are from old power cords and an old fish tank tube pump. Glued them inplace then added holders by using thin wire, I made the snow by mixing spakfilla 80%, PVA glue 15% and water 5% and mixed it all together and then started adding it to the base.

I will get my usual outdoor pics either tomorrow or Wednesday night.
