Mos Eisley Docking Bay 94 1/350 Diorama

[gt350pony66]

really? d@mn dude...you're good! next time I have a figure dilemma I'm calling you lol

I've looked into 1/350 figures and haven't liked anything I've come across. I'm fine with doing the clay figures... I consider myself somewhat of an artist...lol... The picture under my screen name was done by me.

Well, technically there are also British model railway gauges. OO is 1:76 and British N is 1:144. Those are a bit closer to the common Bandai Star Wars scales...

I did not know about those, nkg! Thanks for that info...

Sadly, when it comes to premade human figurines, the British railway stuff is not helpful. Most of the high-quality styrene figures for railways are Japanese or German, and both of those countries use 1:87 (HO) and 1:160 (N). The British stuff, in large part since it's such a small market, has traditionally been low-grade junk, like white-metal figures made in somebody's shed. Chinese-made Bachmann UK stuff is better, but nothing very useful for Star Wars modelling, sadly. At least not without a lot of work.

Take British artist James Cauty, who has built a vast layout of a dystopian present. He used 1:87 scale, not British 1:76, probably because of all the high-quality German commercial models available. He's taken gazillions of tiny figurines of various kinds and modified them to look like British policemen and so on. That's dedication!

I'm guessing he did try and slither away... but I caught the little turd! She would certainly keep me where I belong! lol...

 

[gt350pony66]

Me too, and she wouldn't need a chain! I recall quite vividly the OMG moment when I saw her in the bikini...h3ll of a shame what happened to her. She was only 7 or 8 years older than me, but in the end she looked 20 yrs older. Sad thing

Yes indeed.. But I'm glad she was in the last two movies. It wouldn't have been the same without her.

I was still thinking about sand on this model. These are N gauge particles: what was the scale of the sand you bought previously?
