Star Wars first pass

[Kelly]

Here is a set of Delta 7 interceptor tokens, along with a Hyperdrive ring, which will probably be used as an objective.

My first attempt at a structure / terrain piece, here is a Haven class medical station from the first season...


And another view from the top.

Almost out of canon ships, here is an AA-9 freighter from Episode 2...

[Kelly]

Here are some more tokens for the smaller craft... unaligned G9 Rigger small freighters,



...along with HMP gunships for the Separatists.

Looking great, as usual! Is that a MBS dice I spy in the pic of the outriggers? 

[Kelly]

And these are the last tokens I plan on doing, shuttles to be used as objectives...



...along with some Umbaran fighters.  These were right at the vertical limit of what will fit into these nesting tokens without switching scale, so the other canon small craft like the V-19 are out, and that should do it for everything small on my project.

It sure is, I put a die in for scaling, and couldn't think of a better choice.

That was everything small, but I did have one more ship I wanted to fit in if I could, which kind of needs its own size category...


The Subjugator was from the first story arc in season 1 of the Clone Wars and was supposed to be terrifyingly large, and during the printing process I was definitely terrified...


This is only a two piece print, but with the overall ship being over seven inches long, the front and back sections were both over 4 inches long including the interior connecting locks.  Each was well past the eight hour mark on printing even with lowering the resolution, and with the age on my printer I was crossing my fingers on these working, but they both turned out fine on the first attempt.

The next terror I experienced was during painting; I had put hollow sections throughout the model to help with adhesion, keep the weight down, and save resin, but after cleaning and assembly I found out that makes it incredibly unbalanced.  Trying to keep a grip on the model while painting was very difficult, and I had to go back and correct paint slips more than any other ship so far.


I have not even begun to think about a permanent base solution for it so far.  Overall, as a terror weapon designed to intimidate everyone, the Subjugator is an absolute success... I am afraid to put it on the table.

I can see how the off-balance nature of the mini would make it hard to paint. Your efforts paid off, though! Your line work on these is incredible.

[Covertwalrus]

 Impressive looking beast - And I agree, the painting here is top notch!

[Kelly]

Thanks for the compliments, but I cannot take credit for painting any panel lines.  All of those are recesses of a half mm each that I put in to catch ink lines, and even then I had to go over the edges repeatedly again for clean up.  Also, the windows are not recessed, but raised a quarter mm to make them easier to pick out with a brush.

Painting reliefs is much easier than freehand, and if I have any chance to put paint shortcuts in at the modeling phase I take it.

Wow!  That is a nice looking model.
