BARRICADES

 I thought I'd start the Season of Scenery with some quick simple pieces of scenery, first is a set of barricades from the first edition Killteam starter set (orcs vs Death Korp of Kreig) simple scenery, but I forgot I had them until emptying more stuff out of my room ! LOL went for a simple color scheme, with lots of chipping to tie in with the bullet dents to show lots of action.

I've also done the second set of Legion barricades from the original starter set, you may remember I painted a set a long time ago, but after watching Andor season 2 where they actually used barricades just like these on Gorman I decided to paint my second set to match them, below are the two types you got in the box.

I've taken a scale shot of the 40K and Legion one next to a Legion model so you can see the difference.

Hope everyone is having fun with their own scenery, that's all for today, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

FORGOTTEN HEROES Part 5

 Come on no one really thought I would do two models and stop did they ! LOL So eight years ago I joined in Forgotten Heroes and have completed models 6 times, so it's only fair that I do six models for the challenge, with the two I've already done, I needed four more, and sticking with the Judge Dredd theme I've gone for some Judges from other cities, first up is a male and female Judge from Murphyville ( Ireland in modern times), unfortunately I never got around to getting the Judges from the world when Mongoose did them, and Warlord games never released any, so making my own was the only way to add these to my collection.

One of the things missing from a lot of the models done, is female versions, especially in smaller releases like judges from other cities, so here is a Judge from Calhab (Scotland), and Luxor (Egypt).

Here is a group shot with a Foundry Judge, for scale.

I had planned to do eight models, as it was eight years ago I joined in, but sadly the last two weren't finished in time, here's how far I got.

Back on with the next challenge, and you still have time to join in on Season of Scenery, as you have a whole 3 months to finish a piece of scenery, even if it's one you started before, and just need to finish it off, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

JUGGERNAUT

The big project I'd like to get done for this years challenge is one of the 3 forms of Imperial Juggernaut that have appeared in Star Wars over the years, below is a picture of the three different types, the top one appeared in Revenge of the Sith on Kashyyyk in the Republic army helping the Wookies, the middle version has appeared several times, in bad batch, Rogue One, and comics, the last one appears in the Mandalorian, and is my favourite one, but would need to be a scratch build, so was going to be option 1 or 2.

I managed to find a 3D print on Ebay which would give me a starting point, and also give me all the wheels I needed, the basic kit looks like this

If I went for option 2 I could use it for Bad Batch and the time before the Death Star, so this was the preferable option, here is a detail picture of what it should look like.

To get a look close enough, I need to make a lot of structural changes, to the basic shape, and a lot of detail additions to bring it closer, it's not going to be perfect, but close enough for me. Here's where I've got so far.

I've been working on it in two sections, as both are quite bulky, and heavy enough without combining the two and combining the weight issue ! LOL as you can see with the top section I've changed the basic shape, to bring it more in line with the reference, this was done with 1 mm thick plasticard to make it structurally sound, and putty to f ill in any small gaps, for the detail panels, I've made them with 0.5 mm plasticard so they don't protrude too far from the surface, and greenstuff for small details and handrails. The windscreens were made from acetate, that was painted black inside before being glued in place. Once I've finished the last few details on this side, I get to replicate them on the other side ! LOL

The undercarriage came with four shock absorbers printed on them, which I added detail to one, then took an instant mould of it, and push moulded all the rest including the two that hadn't fully printed, and the two additional absorbers. The two ends have been started including the door, but still a way to go to complete them.

That's all for today, hopefully it inspires for your own plans, so until next time, stay safe and have fun !

Cheers Dave

SEASON OF SCENERY 2026

 Or in my case let's try that again, and get more than a drone done ! LOL As with previous years all scenery counts, whether small or large, scratchbuilt, MDF, resin it all counts, also if it's already part done, it will still count as long as it is finished between the 1 st of July and the 30 th of September, yes I will have it open for a full three months this year. As with previous years vehicles will count as well, and it doesn't matter your preferred scale, it's all about finishing scenery. Here are some of last years fantastic entries to get  you in the mood and also a huge thank you to all who did the extended edition, in the hopes I would be able to do some more myself, you are all heroes in my book..

Also I need to apologise to Mick who emailed me an entry last year, and it ended up in my spam, so while I was ill I completely missed his entry, so here it is now in full
