Hey everybody. I do believe this is the first thread I've created on here. I'm creating this terrain thread mostly to keep myself accountable with my projects and get some serious work done on my legion collection in the following weeks. This thread will be updated frequently! You'll have to excuse the low-quality pictures for now until I can get my nice digital camera repaired or replaced.
First up to kick off this thread.. A lovely thematic but largely unfinished cantina!
I love this thing. I'll have to double check where I ordered it from. When I get the chance I'll edit this post with a link. It came as a flat stack of laser-cut board (not quite MDF but similar) and was quite a project to put together. There are four doors, two on hinges and two that slide out. I love the detailing on the bar and the inclusion of a stage.. I'll have to find somebody to 3D print me a cantina band! Rooftops are removable, the design is modular (you could put one quarter on each corner of the table for the illusion of 4 buildings) and it all fits together quite nicely. I have big plans for this and a lot of work to do! Aside from painting/texturing the whole thing, I plan to:
- Add two sets of external stairs for roof access. I have already sculpted these, they just need painted and some finishing touches.
- Interior detailing including cantina furniture/tables for the rooms, and stools for the bar. If I can't get an actual cantina band I'll at least scratch-build some Star Wars-y instruments. I'd love to have patrons, but I'm unsure of where to turn for so many in-scale aliens without breaking the bank.
- Add interior lighting. The design lends itself to it. the "supporting" areas along the exterior walls overhang the perfect amount to conceal wiring.
Any ideas, comments, questions, and criticisms are ALWAYS welcome. I'm looking forward to sharing my exploits in terrain-making with you guys.
P.S. Big thanks to @Docgimmethenews for painting and gifting me the awesome Boba Fett shown in this picture as part of Legion Secret Santa! This picture doesn't do him any justice. He'll be present in future tattooine action shots/showcases.
