WIP: Battle of Hoth (working title) diorama. Things are getting real now. Added some pins to the feet to secure the AT-AT to the base and found some wire that is both scale appropriate and strong enough to hold the weight of the snow speeder. Tricky part now will be to wrap this wire around so that it looks tight around the legs. It’s a bit stiffer than I wanted but I’m sure I can make it work! #starwars #starwarsmodels #starwarsmodelkit #atat #robotcamels #woodlandscenics #citadel #flynnburger #scalemodels #bandai #supportlocal #snowspeeder #battleofhoth #dioramaclub #diorama #led #ammobymigjimenez https://www.instagram.com/p/Bofcu1nh5qS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=54w6ofg0wg7q

WIP: Battle of Hoth (working title diorama). Started highlighting some chips. Like most of this project I kinda have NFI what I’m doing really but I like where it is headed. Again, have to remind myself that it is another layer! #starwars #starwarsmodels #starwarsmodelkit #atat #robotcamels #woodlandscenics #citadel #flynnburger #scalemodels #bandai #supportlocal #snowspeeder #battleofhoth #dioramaclub #diorama #led #ammobymigjimenez https://www.instagram.com/p/BoG8xPMBm1z/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=165ab0u4i2vvp

WIP: Battle of Hoth (working title) diorama. drifts, powder and ice! Also threw down a layer of cheap artist acrylic on the base to tidy it up a bit. It’s starting to come together. Now I need to catch the AT-AT up to the rest of the build! #starwars #starwarsmodels #starwarsmodelkit #atat #robotcamels #woodlandscenics #sculptamold #flynnburger #scalemodels #bandai #supportlocal #snowspeeder #battleofhoth https://www.instagram.com/p/BnGrjI3BLz6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=g22xnon4t2xj

WIP: Battle of Hoth (working title) diorama. Calling the AT-AT done! I am at the point now where I am fussing so it’s a good sign to stop and move on. Will add snow to the feet and other parts once I fix it to the base and add some foot prints behind. I also puttied up the sides of the diorama ready to sand up and paint. A quick bit of weathering in the snow speeder and I’ll finally be ready to attach it to the legs and finish this project off! #starwars #starwarsmodels #starwarsmodelkit #atat #robotcamels #woodlandscenics #citadel #flynnburger #scalemodels #bandai #supportlocal #snowspeeder #battleofhoth #dioramaclub #diorama #led #ammobymigjimenez https://www.instagram.com/p/BobljRlh8t4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15c5004dshswf

WIP: Battle of Hoth (working title diorama). Getting grubbier and grubbier as the nights go by. Been really struggling for time as there is an awful lot going on in my life at the moment but I can see the light now! Two legs done, two to go then I can call the AT-AT done. May add one or two spot filters to some panels on the body for interest but I’m very happy with it. Big learning point for me is to get my process flow nailed down. I changed my mind on a few things which made things difficult but I worked through it! #starwars #starwarsmodels #starwarsmodelkit #atat #robotcamels #woodlandscenics #citadel #flynnburger #scalemodels #bandai #supportlocal #snowspeeder #battleofhoth #dioramaclub #diorama #led #ammobymigjimenez https://www.instagram.com/p/BoX6AfRBXvp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hqu8me9a8mho

WIP: Battle of Hoth (working title diorama). Three down one to go. This is such a slow process but loving the effect! Was hoping to get to washes today but meh. I have weathered the legs and feet heavier as you get closer to the ground as they are more likely to get banged up on rocks and debris from blown up snow speeders! #starwars #starwarsmodels #starwarsmodelkit #atat #robotcamels #woodlandscenics #citadel #flynnburger #scalemodels #bandai #supportlocal #snowspeeder #battleofhoth #dioramaclub #diorama #led #ammobymigjimenez https://www.instagram.com/p/BoJvHjyBJnz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sk80zd1jq1mq

WIP: Battle of Hoth (working title diorama). Started some very light sponge chipping on the head. For some reason I have been a bit nervous starting the weathering process on this build. I think it's probably because I'm a little rusty (pun intended), not so familiar with the scale and that I'm consciously holding myself back from going overboard. I put so much effort into the dio that I really want the vehicles to stand up and match the quality. I also have to remind myself (again) that this is just a layer and not the final product. I have the fuzzy, soju soaked memories of chatting with @weatheredaz and @nozakuboy about this too! I'm not generally a confident guy so these are the small battles I face when I build but I have great crew and community around me. Also got a couple of days off this week to cool downn from the madness of the weekend and just relax into this build! #starwars #starwarsmodels #starwarsmodelkit #atat #robotcamels #woodlandscenics #citadel #flynnburger #scalemodels #bandai #supportlocal #snowspeeder #battleofhoth #dioramaclub #diorama #led #ammobymigjimenez https://www.instagram.com/p/BoEOWk2hVeT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11bj682kf4v2y

WIP: Battle of Hoth (working title diorama). Finally got around to painting the AT-AT. Primed with Mr Surfacer 1200, pre shaded with flat black and coated with a very light grey. I don’t usually do shading but I thought this would be a good opportunity to use to break up the grey and add some interest. I’ll be doing some very light chipping before jumping into washes and oil work over the next couple of days. It’s finally starting to come together! #starwars #starwarsmodels #starwarsmodelkit #atat #robotcamels #woodlandscenics #citadel #flynnburger #scalemodels #bandai #supportlocal #snowspeeder #battleofhoth #dioramaclub #diorama #led https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn6ShixBNie/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10htpm2dywlew
