WIP Star Wars AT-ST Raider

[Ray Martin]

I've still got a little way to go with the details, but I couldn't resist showing some impromptu pictures of this. There's no fancy lighting on these, I'm afraid - just my desk lamp - but they came out OK for phone pictures, I think. The water still needs some finishing touches, and there's a little more rope 'rigging' to be done on the legs.

This is coming along great! I can see why you were eager to show it off!
What will you be using to make the water?
Super amazing, thanks for sharing! llap

Looking awesome! Love the impressions in the mud, very realistic looking.

I finally finished, so here are some pics of the finishing touches and the end result.

Thanks so much! For the water I first poured some two part resin that I lightly coloured with a few drops of green paint. Once that was cured, I added several layers of Vallejo Water Texture. It can only be used in layers of a few millimetres, but it makes it much easier to add ripples and streaks, as it sets much more rapidly. It looks pretty good in life, but it simply refuses to photograph well. If the weather improves at all, then I'll try some natural light photography, but the incessant wind, rain, and hail we've been having has been a hindrance to going outside

By the way, the background is just a temporary thing I threw up for the pictures, but I like it so I'll be doing one in colour. I think it will look more like a night scene when the sky isn't white

Awesome! Thank you so much!

In case anyone was wondering, the Klatooinian bandit by the tree is a heavily modified Chewbacca from the kit. Here he is before painting
