Hi all I think i'm done with this little project now. I'm enjoying building smaller scale scenes at the moment and I'd picked up a Bandai 1/350 Millennium Falcon at Telford with the idea of having a go at basing it in Docking Bay 94- where else? I wanted to include a bit of the world outside of the docking bay so off set the bay on the mdf plinth to make a bit of room for a bit of Mos Eisley to be included. I also made a cut away section so you can look into the dock and see the view from the film when we all see the Falcon for the first time. Its all made from foam, cork, wood filler, foam board and greebles and here's the link to the WiP is here if you're interested: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235122043-docking-bay-94/ Thanks for looking!

Hall all, This is intended to be a bit of a slow burn project running up to Christmas. I have put in this year for a 1/72 Bandai X-Wing (T65) as part of my general love of Star Wars and got to thinking about some sort of display base for it. Ever since I was very young, I have always loved getting junk and recycling materials and making imaginary worlds for my toy soldiers/Star Wars figures/tanks/Lego whatever and it's something I have able to indulge in quite a bit since having children of my own! Anyway, I was unpacking a new food mixer, and the poly packing just leapt out as being very Mos Eisley 'esque'. I kept it on the off chance I might do something with it when it struck me that the circular bit would be the perfect size for a 1/72 x or y wing. I then got the idea that this might be a great base for an X wing 'forward operating location' in the manner of A10s or Harriers in the 80s. Something perhaps just around the time of the Mandalorian, when things are somewhat chaotic and even more so in the Outer Rim of the Star Wars galaxy. Anyway, have been doing a far bit of redecorating and repainting recently, and while I had the filler out I gave the whole thing a skim layer of filler to seal in the soft polystyrene and to create that stucco effect associated with MosEisley/Tatooine buildings. I am going to have to come up with some sort of dome and produce lots of 'greeblies' (think that's the technical term?!? )As far as poss this will be done using bits and pieces to hand- old aircraft parts, toothpaste tops, that sort of thing, and to just have fun with the process! Here it is with the filler skim...
