Hi All,

Here are the outdoor pics and the recipe.

Solo - is from Hasbro's BS 6" line and has been painted and weathered using Vallejo paints.

Base - is a Bandai 1:12 base with balsa wood sides, I used high density foam and cut out the stones and then used a sand stone and pressed into the foam lightly to give them a more realistic look.

Once I had the foam glued inplace I then added a mix of spakfilla, dirts and paint to do the groud work. Once everything was dry I painted and weatherd the dio using Vallejo Paints and Pastel Chalks.

Ron

Hi All,

Have done the weathering on the small piece of equipment and I used Vallejo paints and pastel chalks. The walls have been heavily weathered using pastel chalks and I just need to tone the darker areas down with washes and drybrushing.

The Sandtroopers have had a matt black wash and then I used a baby wipe and dapped the excess paint off. I will complete the weathering on them using Vallejo paints and pastel chalks.

The top sections of the walls will have magnets so they stay connected

Hi All,

Sandtrooper - Tatooine diorama/display.

Recipe

Troopers - are from Bandai and are built straight out of the box and have been painted and weathered usinbg Vallejo paints and pastel chalks.

Base - is made from foam board and I used balsa wood for the sides and also to add strength underneath, The walls have also been made from foam board and have had a spakfilla/sand mix added to them.

The sand is also a spakfilla/sand mix with some PVA glue added as well. The mositure evaporator was made using plumbers PVC pipe connection, plastic tube, plastic card, 1/72 and 1/35 parts.

The small machine is made using plastic tube, curtain rod rends, a lid from a tooth pick container and a deodorant lid. Once everything was put together they and the the diorama were painted and weathered using Vallejo Piants and pastel chalks.
