[Star Wars] What remains of the Empire

    It's been a while since I posted anything, since my last post I've been spending some more time putting together this wall (and coming up with some more stuff). This new wall took me a bit longer since my foam cutter died meaning I had to go slowl with a blade, for this one I've used 1 inch thick foam as support for the foam core, I must say I should have gone with this option when I did the first two but my desire to keep them as flat as possible got in the way and now they are all warped however they can be fixed. Apart from foam and foam core I also used some thin cardboard for the door (glued onto foam core for strenght) the frame around the door and the door control.

As for the figure he is an old BBI guy dressed in hasbro stormtrooper armor, I painted it green and added a few extra pouches since he looked a bit bare without having other things on his belt. Unlike before this guy does have story behind him.

What remains of the Empire

Though the fall of the empire would be celebrated by many and mourned by some it wasn't the end, imperial governors, admirals, moffs and all manner of high ranking imperials would flee to the outer rims of the galaxy in hopes of escaping the New Republic, in the chaos of such violent transition many important imperials that would have been brought to justice would slip past the new government's fingers. Such Imperials would often establish themselves in backwater planets, mostly empty specks of dust with little to offer anyone other than a place to call home, others would live a constant life of fleeing and traveling aboard their now stolen vessels.

However there where some that would also take over planets, Admiral Garin would be one such man, escaping to the distant agricultural world of Hesive his arrival would be seen as a godsent by Imperial Governor Dravon, however Garin had other ideas, over the following weeks he sought out loyalists and supporters to lead a revolution against Dravon. Once the final preparations had been met the admiral would rise in arms and depose the governor, having him executed in public and ending what he referred to as "The last roots of a failed empire". Garin would go on to become the new ruler, under him the planet saw an increase in the living quality of it's citizens specially among humanoid aliens (these where aliens that where capable of speaking basic and looked mostly human), such actions would make him a respected ruler, and support of his actions made him quite popular among some groups though there still remained those that saw him as nothing more than an imperial attempting to save his own skin.

Though Garin did great things he was still a wanted man by the new republic who once learned of his whereabouts blockaded the planet, for the next couple of years the planet would be cut off and all efforts to end it by the Hesive Goverment ended in failure as the new republic did not recognize him or his government, ultimately he would have to agree to a 70% occupation of Hesive, the new republic would send in troops to ensure that the views, laws and values of the new republic where met. Garin's loyalists would go on to build their enclaves around Hesive, the true last remnants of a now dead empire.

Well that's that for now, I still have to give this backdrop some finishing touches before it's properly done, I'm also going to be making a side piece so I can take photos from other angles, I only need one to switch between left and right, I also hope to make some other props to populate this and use it as both an outside and inside area. The trooper has a light brown wash over the green, some parts I brushed a bit more so that the white armor would be seen a little or come through entirely, I wanted it to look more like they painted over the white rather than it being proper imperial armor in green.
