Tom Roylance
Tampa, Florida
Basing the colors on the bold markings of the Imperial shoretroopers from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Tom reimagined Bandai’s 1/12 scale K-2SO as tactical droid M-3L1. He designed and printed his own decals and weathered it with dot filters, washes, and scratches applied with a sponge. The base started with a piece of stone and insulation foam to which Tom added AK Interactive Beach Sand for the sea floor. After attaching the model with brass rod and walling in the lower section, he poured tinted AK Interactive resin water; the surface was textured with AK Water Gel Transparent, Water Gel Effects, and Water Foam. Debris was added and finally more beach sand was applied to the exterior of the base.
