By DUKEDREAL - Dec. 31, 1969

Droid shop at Mos Eisley

Height without dome 2 inches, with dome 3.5 inches
Length 13 inches
Width 11inches

Molds used:
Egyptian Basic Block Mold #95, Egyptian Temple Accessory Mold #98 for outside columns and beveled sections, Egyptian Floor Tile Mold #290, Station Builder Mold #300 for droids, Gothic Mold #44 for arches


Other Materials:
Evergreen styrene of various sizes
Green foam ball for roof cut at a set height
Foam-board
Waffled matt board for sheets of dura-steel for roof of droid area
Various pieces from various gaming sprues for various junk
Various pieces from Tamiya model taken for various junk
Chrome spray paint for dura-steel shine
Wooden balsa rods and bamboo skewers for framework of droid area
Sand and rocks for ground affect

Paints used on the building were Portfolio Series from Crayola , Bronze Yellow as the base and dry-brushing with Unbleached Titanium. Other colors were used for the various metals of junk.

Building:
The building was actually based on a scrap of foam-board in the “L” shape. Many of us use part of a foam board and then have some strange shape left over. Thus the foam-board dictated the shape of the final building. I new that I wanted only part of the structure to have a dome and another area to have an awning of some sort. I used the matt board for sheets of dura-steel and placed those as the covering.


Fluff:
Every town on Tatooine has a junk dealer. Jhamba du Tor and his cousins runs the junk/used druids shop at Mos Eisley. Many of the droids have had their memory wiped. Some of the droids are in working fashion but you never can truly depend on Jawa merchandise.
