Hey all. I have been building terrain since before Legion came out and figured I should finally get around to posting some of it. I will be uploading stuff over the next few weeks as I get photos taken.

Starting with a Darth Maul statue.

If you have questions on techniques or materials feel free to ask.

Great job on the weathering!

Agreed! It looks great.

Great work.

Turned out really well. I was hoping to do something similar myself

Oh dang. With Clone Wars stuff coming, especially, Jedi temple type terrain would be really cool. Is this just a larger mini from something? Or a miniature file printed at a larger scale?

It's a 3.75" Hasbro figure pinned on a piece of slate. I primed him black and then did an over brush (heavy dry brush) of the bronze metallic paint. The verdigris is Nihilakh Oxide applied selectively to the crevices and then I dry brushed the slate to finish it all off.

And a crashed X-Wing. Not super thrilled with my flocking on this one but it turned out pretty well otherwise.

Nice!

Which X-Wing is that?

Great work, love the damage done to the x-wing..

It is an older Hasbro model that I got from a friend. Not sure which one exactly because there was no box and it was incomplete. The scale is really good though.

Thanks! I did most of it with a soldering iron.

Do people tend towards wrecked vehicles because they're not up on landing gear and thus work better for cover? Or is it more often because (as in this case, as you mentioned) the model is incomplete/broken? A mixture of the two reasons?

Just curious.

Yes to both and also scale fudging can be more forgiving.

Correct, all of the above. Also you can often cannibalize a model kit for multiple pieces. I have some ships that I use that aren't wrecked but they are Hasbro toys not model kits.
