My Mini Star Wars AT-ST Diorama. Part 2

The ground got his first layer of paint, dark brown with some black, I also darken some parts of one of the AT-ST, just roughly so there will be some depth after the lighter layer are painted.

 

 AT-ST's aren't fixed jet.

My Mini Star Wars AT-ST Diorama.

My Mini Star Wars AT-ST Diorama, models got there the first layer of paint. Glued some stones and some more sand. Next time I will paint all the sand in a muddy color. Nothing is fixed yet, models are standing on there own and not on on there final places. I had one extra pair of legs that I can break up and use them for some broke parts on a battlefield. My (first) tree look horrible, I going to practice that some more.

2 inch Baby groot got his second layer of paint.

There is still need for some sanding on some little parts. I worked on his base coating some more, and
but next layer will have more details, green vines, lighter brown and light brown/white highlight and structure to the base, sand, stones, etc.

I reversed engineered this 29 year old HD484780 and hook it up to an Arduino Nano and use the standard LCD lib that Arduino provide with there IDE. It'a 1x20 type, on the bottom that is your typical  2x16 LCD. This old LCD is bigger than my breadboard. :D

2 inch baby groot got his first layer of paint.

Baby Groot got his first layer of paint, I used acrylic paint, and I damage the paint afterwards, but that is already fixed by now, next weekend he will get his second layer, that will be a lighter brown and will not cover all the darker paint of the first layer, so there will be some highlights and a little bit more detail. His fingers need some sanding, will not sand all the paint away but only the sticking out parts, so the paint will act as a filler.

Just got his primer, there is much to fix and got little to much paint, but I will sand/scrape that away until it's good enough for me.

Star Wars AT-ST model Scene - part 1

Star Wars AT-ST modeling Scene

I love Star wars, as child I watched episodes 4 to 6 multiple times, now there is a new movie out I wanted to build something around star wars theme. I don't have to much time, so it will be a mini scene, making smaller things cost you lesser time, in most cases, go to small and cost you more time.
