In a Galaxy far far away ( well my gaming room at least) I had an idea to make a Tatoine gaming board, between work and other projects it hasn't got very far at all. This month has seen a couple of additions to the model ranks for this project, but no scenery at all, next month I hope to rectify this by starting the interior to Jabba's Palace, so I can do some gaming in there to begin with, and then add scenery as I go.
So what models have I finished to add to this realm, first up is Bib Fortuna, this model started as a Twilek scoundrel, I had to reposition one arm, add the relevant clothing and change one of his head tentacles
Have also found a little time to paint the three members of the band I showed in a previous post.
Here is a group shot of the band so far
and a group shot of all the palace denizens so far
Have started making some unarmed Jawas as you see them in the palace as well as Mos Eisley
Then for fathers day, my wife and children got me a wonderful surprise, a toy U-Wing, that is almost perfect scale. This was an excellent gift as I couldn't find a model in the right scale. It will require a bit of strengthening on the wings and filling of some screw holes, and if I really want to push a cockpit as well, but we'll have to wait and see on that one.
OFF THE WORKBENCH
To add to the release of Maxine in July, I've finished the expansion kit for the tanker, that adds three fighting platforms, and a dozer blade
As requested a pet dingo for Maxine
That's all for this post as between work,I'm trying to finish a couple more entries for Forgotten Heroes, with possibly a surprise one. So until next time have fun !
Cheers Dave

Best of luck with your Forgotten Heroes work. I'm very much looking forward to seeing what you come up with next.
Glad you like the post apoc bits, thinking of doing some crew to go with the tanker at some point, and have started another vehicle that should provide some cool tunes for life on the road.
It's all bonus bits on Forgotten Heroes as the planned four have been done, just trying to get ahead on another large project ! LOL
Let's rock!
Looking forward to getting back on with the rest of the band, then the missing denizens, trying to approach it one section at a time to make it more manageable
You're really "on one" Dave, despite the heatwave :-)
Marvelous work across the painting and modelling spectrum on offer this post, and how cool is the U Wing?! It certainly makes my cardstock model from "The Works" look rather silly ;-)
Was surprised and very pleased with the gift they got me as the u-wing was such a great shape
Great truck additions too, if they had them on the original Virginia Haye wouldn't
wouldn't have gone under the wheels!
Looking forward to the bonus FH fig too.
Cheers Roger.
Buck Rogers Starfighter was a great spaceship, and the two have some very similar lines.
Will hopefully do some crew to fit the fighting platforms at a later point, and they may indeed have saved Virginia.
Keeping it under wraps until I show it incase I don't get it finished on the FH bonus fig
Bib looks spot on. A fantastic character if one looks into his EU exploits. The other band members are likewise brill - plans to make the backing singers/dancers too?
