Collins Does Star Wars Legion
Small Deployable Shield Generator
I saw someone (sorry, can’t find the original maker as there are so many of these now) make one of these on Facebook and he encourages other to make these too as its a great bit of scatter terrain.
We’ve all seen the battle for Hoth and how the shield generator was a big strategic target and plot device for the Empire. Well, as we found out in Star Wars Rebels (TV cartoon series) these do come in many different sizes. Well this idea works off of the idea of a smaller localised protection.
The chap who discovered these originally is a genius. He spotted that Hubba-Bubba plastic clamshell wrappers look sort of similar to the bigger shield generator on Hoth.
Anyway, go to your local supermarket and buy yourself two wrappers for 90p each. The bonus with this terrain project is that you get some bubblegum to eat while you work.
Cut your wrappers into halves and pad out the middle sections with cutouts of toilet roll
Find a suitable base (plasticard for example) and use superglue to secure it all. I used a gel type.
add scatter to your base. I used sand.
Paint and FlockI primed in black.
Then used my standard Mechanicus Standard Grey Base, Russ and Fenrisian Grey and Necron Compound drybrushes.
Finally a Nuln Oil wash.
The sand was painted Steel Legion Drab and Terminatus Stone drybrush just like all my other models
I then sealed using matt varnish and once dry flocked using the same 5 ingredients as everything else.
Really Really simple and all thanks to a random on facebook!
