WHO'S STEERING THIS THING

 My sale of Lord of the Rings models, has been going well, which has provided some additional funds towards getting some more models for my Star Wars project, first up today is a Ronto crewed by Jawas, to represent the one seen in one of the additional scenes on the entrance into Mos Eisley, and yes it does have a Jawa dangling off the side, I did remove the guns, as I didn't need them all armed.


I also got this Jawa, who's obviously been foraging well with how full his sack is ( Or stealing, he is a Jawa after all ! LOL)


Next up are some models that i found, that look very much like AT-RT drivers, and a welcome addition to my Imperial forces.


The sixth model that came in the set looked more like an officer, so I went for the black outfit.


Last today are some AT-DP pilots, if you watched Star Wars Rebels, these did multiple roles on Lothal, including riding around on bikes, so I might need to get some more of these.


Still need to find AT-AT pilots, and some TIE pilots, but may just convert the Inferno squad for these. That's all for this post, so until next time, stay safe and have fun !

THAT'S A WRAP

 As July draws to a close, so do my entries for Forgotten Heroes, I've gone through another blitz of background characters, first is Pucumir Thryss, you can see this character get very upset when Luke kills the Rancor, but he does appear in other shots as well.


Next is Nizuc Bek, now some of you may be thinking isn't that Velken that Dave showed last time, well they obviously shop in the same store, and have a couple of subtle differences, their helms are different, and Nizuc doesn't have a shoulder pad.


Next is Ardon Crell, this was a pretty simple build, but more tricky on the painting.


Next is Taym Dren-Garen, the only time I saw this one, was when Luke was fighting on top of Jabba's Sailbarge.


As I started the challenge with robots, I thought I would end the challenge with a robot as well, and here is the poor Gonk droid, that we saw being tortured in the bowels of the Palace.


Here is a group shot of all the characters I managed to finish this year.


Now I need to decide what to do for Season of Scenery, so until next time, stay safe and have fun !

SEASON OF SCENERY 2024

 Yes it's that time again, to dust off those scenery projects and take part in this years challenge. As with previous years all scenery counts, from a traffic cone (pylon in other countries) right up to a full gaming board. There is no minimum or maximum to what you do, or whether it's already been started, it's all about getting bits completed, as with previous years I will be including vehicles as well, and it doesn't matter what the scale is either. The start will be the 1st of July and conclude on 31st of August, I will of course give an additional week for people to get all their posts up before doing the roundup. Below are some of last years awesome entries to inspire you.


If you are interested in taking part, please leave a comment below, and if I don't already follow your blog, please include a link. If you are unable to comment on here you can always email me directly at wargamesterrainworkshop@yahoo.co.uk 

That's all for today, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !
