Mos Eisley? Mos Def.
Howdy...
Taking a page (well, first few chapters maybe) from MegoScott's book I finally started art conversion for my wretched hive of scum and villainy.
Obviously, I'm using the Sears Cantina Adventure Set art as a style guide and template. There's a TON more art to do and I really just started cutting and pasting... The big challenge will be marrying all the interior art together with the same style since I don't usually do much of this type of illustration.
It's going to be based on a Star Trek Enterprise template.
I've finished all of the exterior wall except 15.25 inches - that's the three exterior panels that surround the transporter module when the playset is open. Those three panels are planned as 1) escaping long-snout Imperial spy (running away behind the stormtrooper), 2) Front Entrance door (opening mechanism same as trek, possibly a different shape), and 3) ... either a) a pair of sitting jawas and a Dewback, or b) a collection of pipes and moisture vap hardware. Haven't decided yet.
The top will have a Star Wars logo with another phrase on it(to be finalized when I lay it out) , positioned where the Trek logo usually is. The two side modules will have mirror image plastic cast dome roof sections with molded in greebles secured to the top. I'm planning on remaking the center bar at the top in a silver tone, with a black carry handle.
Inside, the far left (which would usually be transporter) will be the entrance/droid detection unit. The center will house a U-shaped plastic bar with a pipework/distiller graphic on the wall- the left graphic being back rooms and random aliens, the right a cut in wall section with the Cantina Band... finally the far right module is tentatively scheduled to be the Han/Greedo showdown nook. I originally planned to repro some trek stools as well, but I may just design some fresh or scrap them all together (there's already a lot of hardware for one playset).
The file I'm working with is 9.75 inches high and 36 inches across right now (will be 52 or so when I'm done) - the smaller sample pic here is scaled down to a width of 3. The red guides show where the folds will fall in the final.
And the original file I'm pulling the art from:
I'm trying to come up with some vinyl coated solutions, but it looks like my final build might have to be laminated styrene or very thin MDF with vinyl attachments at the seams for hinges.
Suggestions/etc always welcome.
