The Imperial Academy was the final board I had made for a two year Star Wars campaign I had ran for a group opf friends. It was a massive piece in size, and as such I wanted to fill the space well. I made sure to have enough height on the buildings to provide an imposing, and also isolating courtyard for my players, the centerpiece being a large bonsai tree that I had made with a sturdy frame of wood skewers, and then built up the detail using lightweight papaer mache.
