Looks great! The ferns actually look real, which is difficult for fake plants sometimes. What shade of brown did you use for the speeder? I could never decide between chocolate or NATO brown.

Hey JD, Thanks buddy and the ferns I just give them a light wash with Vallejo Medium Green to tone done the plastic colours. For the speeder I firstly paint it with Vallejo Dark Brown and then dry brush it about 2-3 times with Vallejo Beige Brown until I like the look of the colour.

Once the dry brush is done I then give it a wash of Vallejo's Dark Brown and then a wash of Vallejo matt black. Once the washes are dry I then lightly dry brush with beige brown.

Hi All,

Finished a commission piece last night.

Recipe

Scout/Speeder - are from Bandai and have been built straight out of the box. They both have been painted and weathered using Vallejo paints and pastel chalks.

Base - is a cheap picture from and the ground was built up using a mix of spakfilla/sand/dirt and then spread over the base. Before it dried I used old branches for trunks and before adding them to the base I soaked them in metholated spirts to dry them out and stop rotting and kill any little bugs.

Once the trunks were inplace I then used a mix of static grass/sand/dirt/lichen moss and small twigs and mixed these all together and used PVA glue to adhere it to the base.

Once the dead foliage/ground was dry I then gave it several washes of Vallejo's Chocolate brown andleft it to dry. I then used the clover type plants and the pointy leaf plants from JoeFix Studio and glued them inplace.

The ferns are fro the local craft shop and I get them from the fake flower section and tehn cut them to size and glue them inplace.

The grass tufts are from miniNatur and the moss is a mix of spakfilla/sand and Vallejo Medium green paint and then I use a old brush and dap it over the areas were I want it to go.

I sure would be stoked. Your Endor stuff looks like it came right off the movie set.

Hi All,

I have multiple pieces going on at the moment but I'll show two at this stage. The first one is a WIP commission piece and it's Boba Fett.

Fett is from Bandai and has been built straight out of the box and I will be adding the flamer unit which is the ROTJ version using plastic card. I glued the joints and then covered them over and will need to do some sanding on the joints.

The base is built up using balsa wood and then I used spakfilla to cover it and while it was drying I got a wet baby wipe and lightly pressed into the spakfilla to give it a more natural look.

Hi All,

The second piece is also a commission piece for Shawn and it will be a AT-AT head and partial neck dio where the AT-AT has been hit and it has gone down and there will be smoke and flames coming from it.

The head is done so far using foam board and once I get the look I want it will be then covered in plastic and cardboard

I like the effect the baby wipe has on the wall section. Great projects, the AT-AT dio will be epic.
