Re: [FT] Building Ship Minis

<
Not necessarily... Home built pieces can look just as good as
professional
pieces, after all how do you think they made them in the first place.
For
added touches that are difficult to replicate I reccomend going to a
hobby
store and buying cheap models, dosen't matter what they were supposed to
be.>

For odds and bits of stuff (as well as for the lovely mini's themselves)
buy 
the IPC Star Wars diorama kits "Ice Planet Hoth" and Rebel Base. Lots of

AT-AT's, chicken walkers, 6mm figures by God!, X- Wings, Snow Speeders,
and 
B-Wings. You can use the mini's or chop 'em up for scratch builds. I
built a 
wondeful Traveller the New Era "Clipper" ship before GDW put out the
lead 
min. Mine was BETTER!  For $10 bucks at Wal Mart these kits. There are
also 
model kits and dioramas in different scales but these two work
wonderfull for 
1/300th ground combat or whatever scale for ship minis. The B-Wings can
mount 
on stands just like they are for cruisers.
