I have finally got around to tinkering with a few photographs of the completed Cantina build. I populated the space with a mixture of different Star War miniatures including miniatures from Legion, Imperial Assault and even some Dave Stone of ‘Wargames Terrain Workshop’ originals.
The alcove tables are the top of a hose pipe attachment which was then finished with a transparent plastic base and lit from beneath with LEDs
Great to finally share this project with a wider audience and just seeing it is making feel the need to dig out the plans to see how much more I had intended to do. Sadly this will have to wait for the time being as currently visiting another desert for a completely different project, news of which I hope to bring before too long.
Amazing work sir!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Michal.
DeleteVery atmospheric Michael, the tables are very clever and look perfect, if you are after bench seats and stools drop me an email as I produce some. A great array of models to add character to the shots, even spotted some FFG ones in there.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dave and well spotted with the FFG characters, again I think you put me on to those a while back. I shall definitely be interested in some of those benches at some point as plan to do some more photography with the model again, but so much on the go at the moment.
DeleteFab-u-lus!!
ReplyDeleteThat's so kind, thank you Ray.
DeleteVery cool and well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much.
DeleteDave has already used the very words that came to my mind too -"very atmospheric". Your photos give a great idea of the variety of ways the cantina can be used as a setting. I enjoyed this post.
ReplyDeleteStephen
That's incredibly kind of you, thank you.
DeleteA splendid setup Michael!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Andrew.
DeleteWow, it turned out great.
ReplyDeleteThank you and really pleased with the result, just the rest of the board to go now.
DeleteGreat to see your Star Wars project completed, Michael. It's clear you've been utterly inspired by this masterclass in scenery building. You're clearly challenging Dave Stone for the definitive Star Wars wargaming blog. LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much and yes to being inspired by everyone else, but challenging Dave Stone, never! The man is a terrain building machine!
DeleteSeriously impressive work from the pair of you, Michael. Having seen your castle, I am not surprised, but the attention to detail is unsurpassed. As Wayne and Garth would say "We're not worthy..."
ReplyDeleteThank you Jez, I really miss going into work to find an update from James sitting on the table, he is such a talent.
DeleteThat is an awesome looking building mate! and your pictures show it off in the very best way! (those tables with the lights are inspired by the way!).
ReplyDeleteCheers Roger.
Thank you Roger, was so pleased with the tables, the only down side was forgetting to turn off the mini LED lights so the batteries would just run out.
DeleteLovely work Michael 👍 brings back memories of watching the films
ReplyDeleteThank you Matt, certainly reminiscing whilst I was building and painting the model too.
DeleteAmazing stuff Michael! It would be a fun terrain piece to play in!
ReplyDeleteThank you Terry, one day I hope to do that very thing.
DeleteFantastsic job mate - what a cracking bit of practical and very thematic modelling. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Paul, one of the creative itches that just needed to be scratched.
DeleteWow! Splendid terrain - the images look straight out of the movie!
ReplyDeleteThank you Dean, I had a lot of fun setting up the photographs.
DeleteOutstanding work as always!
ReplyDeleteThat's incredibly kind, thank you Bill.
DeleteWow, michael! This is wonderful! Great work!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Mr. Mouse.
DeleteWonderful! I just had a look at your other Star Wars posts and they are all fantastic painted!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Peter. Star Wars is a childhood favourite that I just never grew out of.
DeleteNot sure how I missed this earlier Michael, but as everyone else has said, fantastic bit of modelling!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Had a lot of fun putting this together.
DeleteSplendid bit of scratch building, really great finish!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
