The Battle of Endor: Take Cover!

By Ron Hembling




I've always loved the Star Wars movies, especially ROTJ. The forest scenes on Endor were great. So with that in mind I decided to make a small diorama creating a scene in which the rebels are taking cover. Once all the figures and scenery was prepared I painted them using GW and Vallejo paints.

RECIPE - Rebel Troopers - The troopers are from the NEW SAGA collection, the trooper lying down is the white trooper he has a new head from a clone trooper. The trooper jumping over the log is the black trooper. He has had a coat added from the VOTC Endor Han Solo. His left hand is from a OTC Dagobah Luke and the right hand is from a VOTC Endor Han.

Stormtrooper - The helmet is from a VOTC Stormtooper and the rest of the body is from the OTC Sandtrooper.

Shrubs & Bush's - the small shrubs are pieces of railway model shrubs. I just pulled them apart and glued them in place. The bushes are plastic fish tank plants repainted and glued in place.

Base - The base I got from a $2 store. The groundwork is plaster of paris mixed with fine sand and kitty litter and then painted.
