 Slow, stunned golf clap . . . 

 

I used to own one of those, and the original paint scheme was pretty vanilla; this paint job is over the top awesome.

 Hi nazull, yes they are. Was lucky enough to pick one up for about 25 quid, seems people may be cottoning on though so you're looking at around 30 to 40, suppose when you compare what you get in relation to an x-wing or the incoming falcon, etc its a fare lump of plastic for the price ;)

regarding the plastic bases there isn't really much to say to be honest, grab yourself a chunk of acrylic (at least a few mm thick) cut it to shape, create some form upright from tubing and jobs a good 'un!

Just finished painting a Kenner star destroyer btw, will post pics tomorrow, looks nice, not to scale of course but we intend on using these larger ships as generic models and objectives. We can always really beef up the stats on the SD to make it a little more imposing. Important thing is they look cool with the smaller fighters whizzing around them. All eye candy to set the scene :)

picked up one of those hallmark shuttles too after a reco on this forum. They are brilliant, light up and play the imperial march too…how cool is that lol

Sorry Tellos, up in deepest darkest Yorkshire!

New printed starfield mat arrived the other day. Brilliant! Also painted up a Kenner Star Destroyer, defo not to scale but good to represent a generic Imperial 'large ship'. Made up some Asteroids from lava rocks, didnt even have to paint these, jobs a good un!

Oh and a hallmark shuttle added, nice scale and it lights up and plays the imperial march!

No particular reason why I decided to build this, I just always loved the look of the Sundered Heart with those big fins on the back!

Built from card and magnetised they can easily detatched depending on what you need for the game in hand

I knew saving all those superglue caps would pay off one day!

The asteroids look great. Can you tell us how you did the painting?

Give him the gun Tolo. Give him that gun….give him all the guns.

I love this. Inspired me to go purchase one from ebay. While I'm interested in the paint job as well, I agree that the bases are stellar. How are you lettering them? It's clean, precise, and legible.

Great looking stuff, BullDogUK!  How about a pic of how you mounted the base stem to the Corellian Corvette?  I have one also and bas made from Lexan.  have not decided on material for the stem or how to mount it to the vessel.

I know one of the guys on the AFM boards removed the bottom communications dish and put his dowel straight in there. I've been considering a 80x160mm base in Lexan myself, maybe even adding the movement nubs since I'll be taking the time to hand cut it anyway….
