"Hello There" - Painting Star Wars

So, I thought it would also be a good idea to show off the components that make up my basing materials for my Star Wars miniatures. I originally worked up just a bit of traditional grass which is layered over an ashy texture which I’ve had for donkey’s years.

The ashy material is what I use to show ground which is more of a tundra landscape. It also sort of works as ‘sand’ which means that when I come to painting up the miniatures which are more Scariff focused the miniatures will still match up.

I don’t like how miniatures look when they’re just mud and grass so it’s sort of my get-out clause for making woodland/forest bases without having to use it. Also, it must snow on Endor sometime right?

Next up, I also throw on some tufts and I have this wildland collection which is great for adding a bit more height to the bases.

The newest addition to these bases is something which is trying to make things look a bit more woodlandy (certainly a word). This is some forest clump basing materials which I think looks like undergrowth and fallen leaves from the trees above.

I have been using this to make it look a lot like little bushes and ways to show that this is a lush, green planet which they are rushing across.

You can see this on the miniatures for Luke Skywalker and one of the Wookiees that I have finished recently.

It takes a little bit of effort to get down onto the base without it flying everywhere but it’s a versatile bit of kit for just making things pop that little more.
