Star Wars Shatterpoint – Vent Building

We had a good time with the last kit we build from the Star Wars Shatterpoint terrain range, the Maintenance Bay Terrain Pack, and have an eye on the upcoming releases. And while I have the two other sets, High Ground and Take Cover, I was missing a single building, that is exclusive to the Starterset.

While that is a real good bargain, with two starter warbands and a lot of terrain, I want to use this terrain with my Legions miniatures and wasn't interested in the other items from that set, so I went on the second hand market and picked up the Vent Building on its own. The other terrain items from the Shatterpoint Starterset are the same as in the High Ground Terrain Pack.

We have a few sprues and as usual the assembly instruction can be downloaded from the Atomic Mass Games website, and I put them on my tablet.

Quick removal of the parts from the sprue. A bit of clean up where the parts connect to the frame, but beyond that very little mould lines to clean up.

I use my Pattex special model glue for this, as the regular Revell Contacta does not always bond the shatterpoint plastic properly. A stable base structure.

The further details are added in an interesting way, an entire wall section is pushed from the side and a vent, giving the building its name on top.

The upper floor has a rim, which lets the board walks connect to. We have a door and smaller details that can be used as points of interest, and overall the footprint of this building is not too large, not too small. A good addition for skirmish.

I have to go through the shots from Andor, especially the planet Aldhani, and look for some paint schemes. I want the Imperial troops in the style of the mud troopers, and the terrain to look like a swamp or moor.
