BABY STEPS

 This weeks progress has been small, due to multiple factors, one being having to wait for the restock of greenstuff, as my last commission used all of the new roll, and most of my spare backup ! LOL Also we have been spending a lot of time getting my daughter her next bike, as she can now have a 125 cc, and that's taken a lot of time. So what have I managed on the Cantina, first up I've been sorting out some furnishings for Chalmun's quarters. I've built his private bar, but might add some glasses and a bottle on top yet, just to make it look used.


I've also done the rug for this area, but still need to do the seat to sit on top of it.


Last part for the quarters are the two wall hangings, I want to add some weapons hanging on top.


I've also done the next roof needed for the sales booth that is behind the cantina.


As I said not a lot finished this week, but every bit finished is one less step needed for completion ! LOL So until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

PUT ONE FOOT INFRONT OF THE OTHER

 The dust has settled on another manic Season of Scenery, and some fantastic entries from all who took part, don't worry if you haven't had time to post yours up, as I'll be waiting at least another 10 days before doing my roundup, so you still have time to get those last bits posted.

For me I didn't want to just leave my big project unfinished to next year (we all know I have the patience of a gnat ! LOL) so where to start, the closest bit to being finished was the roof, as all it needed was a couple of gubbinz added and painting. I chose to only add a couple on this side so the side with the domes has a lot more.


As you can see from the overall shot I finished Chalmun's roof as well (wasn't going to call it his dome ! LOL) here is a detail shot showing the extra structure on it, had to find a dome in the movie with this piece on it to work out the details.


Here are some extra detail shots of different sections.


Now in my last post Jeff said he couldn't see Hem Dazon so just for Jeff, I moved him into the limelight.


Don't know which section I'll move onto next, but it all needs finishing, just one step at a time. Until next time stay safe, and have fun !

ONE STEP BEYOND

 So as August draws to a close, so does another Season of Scenery, and how far did I get with the Cantina, well it's not finished but I have sections complete, so a small win if nothing else. Rather than lots of dribble from me lets have some pictures, first up some overall shots.


As you can see I have the basic painting of the outside done, but it needs the staining and weathering. Lets have some internal shots of the other areas that need the detail work.

How am I supposed to fly with no tools or fuelling station !
Who stole all my stuff !
How about some shots of the cubicles with their patrons.















If you can't hear this picture, you need to watch Star Wars again ! LOL

So basically the bar and cubicles are done, just need the central bar finished with all the pipe work, the outer rooms all need detailing, so quite a big task, the outside needs all the sellers areas and details added, another big task. Still need to add some more details to the roof and paint it, another big job, and then there is the outside basing to be sorted, and some wiring that needs to be finished to light up the tables and cubicles and bar (after seeing Michael's awesome tables, I wanted mine to light up as well), so still a fair amount of work to do. I could wait until next years challenge, but as we all know I'm not a patient man ! LOL The good news is I've almost finished my last of the current commissions and will be sending pictures to them this weekend, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

MULTIPLE CLASSES

 I'm now down to finishing one commission, so hope to have something to show with the cantina by the end of the challenge, but I guarantee it will not be fully completed, but if I can complete sections I'll be happy with that. So why the rush on getting my sons D&D figures done, well he's off to university in a couple of weeks and he'd like to take them with him. When he brought them over, we looked at the different colours of Axolotl's and assigned different ones to the different classes of characters that we felt that fit. First up we have a Barbarian, which we went for the most common and natural colour schemes.


Next the Paladin we chose the white version, a lot of people think this is an Albino, which it is not, as there is a Albino version as well which has pink eyes.


The third is a Sorcerer which we went with the golden colour scheme, below the pictures is the reference picture for the above 3.


Next is the Rogue, the black version was the obvious choice for this class to help with stealth.

  


The Ranger, we chose the mottled skin tone.


Last today is the Warrior, now I'm not sure this is a real colour and could be an AI picture but have included the reference picture for you to decide yourselves.


This last one was the only conversion I did, as the original model had him embedding his sword into the base, which took all the focus off the face, my son wasn't keen on it, so I changed it to a leaping pose, with a pin to support the model hidden by some tall grasses hiding it. That's all for today, so until next time, stay safe and have fun !
