Here's my bunker and abandoned TIE. The bunker is made from foamboard, matteboard and sheet styrene. TIE is made from a Revell 1:52 kit (it's actually a TIE F/O but after it is painted I think most people won't notice).

That bunker is fantastic!

Looks great! Can't wait to see what else you do.

How did you do the bunker?

Love these mate how did you do the bunker would love to see a step by step

Agreed, Bunker looks great and would a little 'how to'

Amazing pieces. The detail and paint work is what really sets these pieces apart. Keep the great work and keep posting. Work like this and from attainable materials will hopefully inspire others to join the hobby.

For those that asked about how the bunker was constructed. It is basically a foamboard 'frame' with layered matteboard panels. Any additional details such as the edges are strips of 3.2mm wide styrene. These pics should give a better idea on how to make it. Also, the details on top of the bunker are actually just regular dress buttons!

I find it helpful to plan out the panels first by drawing them on graph paper (these are 5mm squares). It's easy to then transfer your plans onto the matteboard by overlaying it and sticking a push pin through the paper to mark all the corners. then just cut them out with a metal ruler and a sharp knife. It's a tad tedious but it's not difficult.

Very cool.

For those of us who are...lacking.....in design skills, I dont suppose you could put pics up of the other 'drawings' on the squared paper? I will definitely copy yours if thats possible.

Great work.

I have been looking for tie fighter scale pics! Which Revell kit was it? Was it the 1634 or 1824? I was about to buy one but I want to make sure it's the right scale. I can't find info on which one is 1:52. Great work by the way!

Brilliant!!! I've always drawn directly on to the material I was constructing the building from.

Where did you get that gaming mat? It looks good.

Which means you'll be able to order it from a stockist or the webstore. It's filed under runewars stuff, you'll need 2 for a fullsize legion table (6x3)
