Topic: "Buzzing the Tower" - Bandai Turbolaser and B-wing

[Unreality]

Finished this dio last night. It's a mix of the Bandai Turbolaser and Death Star tile from the A-wing set and a B-wing from the Fantasy Flight Games line.

Most of this was focusing on the painting (and not stressing), and I didn't do much building at all.

Thanks for looking!










And here's a few shots of the black-basing technique.


Apply a black primer


Airbrush mottled squiggles to the surface in white


Airbrush a super-thin blending coat in the base color you want


Finally, add some highlights and/or brush-painted details.

Oops. Should have posted this is Dioramas. Can anyone move it?

I moved it and put it on the front pages. Very nice and good to see you back around.

Awesome work indeed and great idea on using the Fantasy Flight Games mini's they work perfectly with the tower.

Thanks man. I do love the FFG minis, even if I don't play the game.

Really enjoyed seeing your painting technique too.

Really enjoyed seeing your painting technique too.

Thanks. I hope I've inspired a few other people to try it, as it's a pretty simple process.
