Hi All,

I have poured the water for the dio using Woodland Scenics realistic water and will have to let itsit for about 48 hrs for it to dry. Once it dries that misty white will turn clear and look like water.

Hi All,

The water has almost dried and become clear. Tomorrow I'll be able to add the muddy water were the foot is and a little weathering on the figure and it will be done.

Hi All,

While the Scout Trooper Endor dio water section has been drying I started on another 2 in 1 dio and this one is a Tatooine one.

The base is foam board and balsa wood and has balsa frame underneath. The walls are also done with foam board and will have a spakfilla endering before teh sand ground work goes down.

The moisture evaporator is almost done and has been painted and weathered before going on the base as it is easier to paint it before adding it to the base. I am just waiting for more plastic to arrive tomorrow so I can complete the top by adding the little flaps that they have.

The rest of the evaporator was made using plumbers PVC pipe connections, plastic card and tube, 1/35 and 1/72 scale parts.

Hi All,

Recipe

Scout - is from Hasbro's BS 6" line and has had the joints glued and puttied up and then he was painted and weathered using Vallejo paints and pastel chalks.

Base - is made from Bandai stands that come with the kit and then foam was added to the top and then a balsa wood frame was added.

The tree trunk I got from the yard and the smaller trees are from Woodland Scenics. The small ferns are from MIG and the grass tufts are from miniNatur, I used 1:1 scale fake ferns for the large ferns and cut the end off and used them.

The smaller ground plants as well as the water plants are from JoeFixit Studios, I used Woodland Scenics Realistic Water for the water itself and once dry I mixed a little Vallejo German Camo Medium Brown with some Realistic water to do the muddy water effects.

The moss on the trunk was done by mixing spakfilla x 1 tablespoon and fine sand x 1/2 teaspoon and mixed it with some PVA glue and light green paint and added it to the trunk.

Ron
