Hi All,

I didn't know were to put this so I thought I would put it here.

Well we had a long weekend here in Australia and we also had our local model group model/expo comp. I had 5 dio's in the comp which were the Shuttle drop, drop zone, Han/Tauntaun, AT-AT Gunner Jakku and the dewback patrol and there were 5 other entries.

Besides being a long weekend I took out 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the scifi category which I was stoked about and the 1st place prize was a Gundam kit supplied by Darren from Tokyo Model Detective and he also sponored the comp as well (thanks heaps mate)

Ron

Hi All,

Did a tiny bit of work yesterday and added the base for the trees. I used foam board and glued pieces together and once try I trimmed the edges until I was happy with the way they looked.

I will start covering them with some aluminium foil to get the texture I want and then I will cover that with spakfilla.

LOL thanks Shawn and I do actually have a few Hoth dios coming over the next few weeks.

Cheers Panther and this is 1:48 scale.

Thanks Buddy and I do prefer the 6 inch scale when I'm doing dio's as I think it's a great scale to build diorama's or display pieces.

Hi All,

I have added the aluminium foil to the tree and what I did first was roll up what I needed then pressed it all together and then un-rolled it and rolled it around the tree.

Once it is around the tree I then started to lightly crunch it all together and kept doing it until it was all foil was crimped together.

That looks brilliant, I'll try that technique for the next time I do trees.
