1/30 Starcraft Marine/Trench Diorama

Posted by IanIsBored2000 on Thursday, October 25, 2007 4:33 PM

This guy just looks so tough and bad Censored [censored] , I couldn't resist. He's a Terran Marine from the game Starcraft. The kit is 1/30 by Academy. The decals are just random things left over from 1/35 AFV's. The trench boards were made from popsicle sticks, corrugated metal is lead foil, and such. I poured a little resin for water in the trench to make a stagnant muddy puddle too.

Niiice!

I had one of those Space Marine kits, and I just couldn't get it to look as good as yours.

Any chance of some close ups of the figure?

Glad you liked it! Unfortunately, I didn't take any good closeups before he left the house.

Unfortunately it was sold, so I can't get any close ups of the figure. Thanks

Having spent to many hours playing starcraft back in the day, i just want to say it looks awsome, but an idea if you ever do another one i s to find the hydralisk model that they made and do a dio with that. JUst a thought; agian sweet job

Perhaps the most important lesson I have learned is that you should never argue with an idiot. The people around you may not be able to tell the difference.

I just fell upon this thread while browsing. I have been looking for the Terran Marine kit they put out, but I havent found one for a good price. You did quite a good job with yours, even if that trench wouldnt protect him from a ling rush for a moment.
