Shadoq Shipyards and Modifications

By Shadoq, in Star Wars: Armada Painting and Modification

Recently finished up another project for a local player I game with.
Pretty good experience for me as I haven't painted Imperial fighters in a while.
Small Imperial fighter group. Was asked to do some color differentiation in for different stands and do the Interceptors as Royals.

Neat way to differentiate sqauds.

Thanks for the kind comments everyone. It has been quite a journey to get to this point where I feel my skills are starting to be competent.

I've been wanting to have a full 3D terrain set for a while. I really wanted one of those Space Rocks sets but with them out of production, the prices for used sets have been too high for me.

This is my Gen 1 3D terrain set. There are a lot of things I would like to clean up/do better next time especially on the bases and the station but it will work for right now.

My requirements were:
-Must be able to differentiate debris fields and asteroids easily.
-Preferably no modifications to the stock terrain cards to allow easy overlap checks and terrain movement during gaming.
-Easy and durable basing.

#TeamVenator is going to be pissed though :lol:
A Venator, Consular Frigate, and Tantive IV were hurt in the process.

Love it! RIP Venator.
Love the Station. I just ordered one from Mel's, as I've been dreaming of that 3D terrain life too haha.
What're the asteroids made from?

Thanks for the kind words

Asteroids were done with spray foam.

i like how the asteroids came out. I'm on the fence on the station.

I am considering a XQ platform from Mel and trashing the station as it sits

The station's bridge, antennas, runways, and batteries are all pretty good! I'd probably lose the BFG hangar over the short runway - it's the wrong scale and looks out-of-place (to me, anyway). The long runway is a little too long... it seems like most Star Wars ships have vertical lift capabilities, so you don't really need a runway, per se, so much as a launch point/parking lot. Some sort of docking tube for capital ships would be a cool addition.

Have a game tomorrow playing as Rebels(first time in months).
Figured I'd paint up something new since I haven't painted anything for my Rebs in a while.
Painted up Blue Squadron and went back and touched up Red and Green squadrons with highlights finally.

Recently finished another for fun painting project for another player I game with.
The Defenders were fun to paint and I really like how they came out. Might do up a set for my own collection.
