DON'T COME BACK WITHOUT AT LEAST ONE MEILOORUN !

 For the next stall I've created a fruit vendor set up, for reference I looked at the fruit seller in the Phantom Menace, and also the frit seller that you see in the Mandalorian series, to get the original feel, but also the diverse fruit from the later one.


These were all made from a mix of plastic rod, and greenstuff, painting wise I tried to match to the reference on both the stands and the fruit, below is the reference I used to make these.


Still haven't come across the cotton material for making the awnings, so that will be a job for another time. I've got reference pictures for the next three stands now, being Droid parts, small creatures for sale, and riding beasts for rent, but they make take some time to do. That's all for today, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

Cheers Dave

    1. Thank you Michael, it's a bit weird combining the style of display unit from Phantom, and the more modern fruit, but happy with the combination.

    1. Thank you Dai, glad you like the reference. The awnings will happen as soon as I find my material, or get some more, so they will happen, in the meantime I'll keep making the wares to go in the stands ! LOL

    These look spot on, Dave! :-) Quite a bit of variation there as well!

    1. Thank you John, on some of the reference shown a lot had the same fruit multiple times, but I thought a seller with a good variation would do better ! LOL

  8. I missed this article yesterday somehow so my apologies for the oversight! I really like how the fruit displays turned out. They'll add a nice bit of color to Tatooine which is something the desert can always use.

    1. Thank you Jeff, no worries mate, yes the arid sands of Tatooine need as much color and variation as possible ! LOL
