Scratch built Star Wars terrain - Miniature Wargames issue 501


The latest issue of Miniature Wargames (issue 501 for January 2025) features not one but two builds by me. The first is a damaged stone doughnut  inspired by an image seen in the Star Wars series The Acolyte now playing on Disney. The second takes a Hasbro Star Wars toy of the Redfin FC20 and re-imagines it as a piece of wargame terrain.


The stone donut was constructed from MDF and thin underlay foam mounted on to another piece of MDF. Painting followed the usual techniques with basecoat, washes and drybrushing before being varnished and having the base decorated.


The Redfin FC20 was slightly modified and also mounted on to a MDF base. Painting was this time done with an airbrush and a 'rattle can' spray paint before detailed painting was done with acrylic paints and a fine brush. The decals came from an old GW set and the stone areas on the base were modelled from dried wood chips.
