I have just finished building up the vignette's base and I have taken some pics as well for today's blog entry. I am quite happy with the results, even though I always find this scale a very challenging modelling project. Basically because the 28mm heroic scale is not always very proportionate, and this tends to complicate matters somewhat - but it does make hiding mistakes easier too.
The first pic above is basically the format of the vignette - that is a small section from the Lamenter's flag ship. It is mostly scratchbuilt except for some parts (the grey ones) that I took from other kits. The other parts are basically plastic sheet and tubing, as well as wires. I then put it all together with the hope of it looking something like a space ship's corridor.
The last picture above shows the two participants in this little vignette. I have assembled them with a bit of blu-tac to give an idea of how the whole piece will look like when it is finished. The model laying in the backgound is the Lamenter and the one in the foreground is the Minotaur standing victorious. There is still a lot of work to do on them, especially the Lamenter, but that will be a topic for a later blog post.
That's all for today. As always:
Farewell and good health,
