Not me personally, but Chalmun, being a Wookie in a time when the Empire are actively hunting them, I thought his vehicle port would need the necessary equipment to maintain his vehicle and keep it in readiness for a quick getaway. First up is the fuelling area, from the cutaway picture, I could see rough shapes, but needed to add the detail to make it believable. On the other side of the pillar, is a random pipe, now having worked in several industrial buildings, there would often be a random pipe that no one knew what it's use was, or where it went, so this is one of those ! LOL
Next there was what looked like a big electrical type box, which I've adapted to a diagnostic machine, with cabling and connector to suit the task.
On the other wall was another electrical looking box, which this one I made into a battery charging station, with the connector and cabling.
Last today, is a bit that wasn't in the cutout, as there was a wall in the way, so I decided to put in a workbench, as Chalmun is a Wookie, I went with a wooden bench, and added a vice, tool box, and welding/ cutting tool.
This will be my last post on the cantina for a while, as next week starts Apocalypse Me, and I've got a big commission order I'm working on as well, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !
Cheers Dave
Your work is mesmerising, the details make the whole project come to life. I cannot get tired of saying it, I love your work and the way you approach every project
ReplyDeleteThank you Suber, glad you like the work, I feel the same about your big scenery project, as you seem to have the same approach, work out what the piece is used for, and make the scenery fit it's purpose.
DeleteI love the addition of a spaceship to the cantina. Everyone needs a getaway vehicle in a hive of scum and villainy like Mos Eisely after all!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeff, being a Wookie, doubley so ! LOL It was the cutaway picture that included it, I've just tried to replicate it, and make sense of the shapes in the picture ! LOL
DeleteAnother great detail. Fantastic. Course now you have to add a door for the ship to get out through…😀
ReplyDeleteThank you Stewart, as I work out a purpose for each area, I will endeavour to keep adding the details ! LOL As for a door, there is a hole in the roof for the vehicle to exit through like the hanger bays in the spaceport.
DeleteThese are great, Dave - love the toolbox! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you John, it's based on the one my grandad had when I was growing up, except his was green.
DeleteLove how you filled in the missing details, they all make sense and have a place in the world.
ReplyDeleteThank you SD, sometimes that can be the hardest part, working out what it should do, so the details work for it ! LOL
DeleteNow you're just showing off Dave, LOL!!! So much attention to detail - even where you can't see any!! Love your rationale behind some of the pipes too. Top stuff!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Simon, as the picture doesn't show much detail when zooming in, I've had to try and work out a purpose for each bit, so I know what sort of details to add ! LOL
DeleteVery cool, Dave - love all of the small details - they're what really brings these sorts of models and dioramas to life!
ReplyDeleteThank you Azazael, they are quite hard to make out on the drawing when enlarged, but if I can think of a use, I can normally make the rest up ! LOL
