Hey guys i'm back to show you a little more of my diorama.

I'd like to thank you all for your comments and encouragement, it was an honor to get posted in the front page.

I would like to explain a bit more about my dioramas :

- first of all, i'll never create a diorama coopying exactely a scene from star wars. I prefer to imagine or invent a decor or a scene rather than copying but of course i always get some inspiration on the movies.
- the idea of a scene come to me itself, most of time, in my dreams, other times when i see a figure or a vehicule.
- next, i got to buy the figures and vehicule, costumize them ect... then i draw the scene, position the figures and the big part of the decor on it , find the material, and get to work
- i always put some action or moving action, to create some reality.

Anyway let's stop talking, here is the next dio i created

Wow, looks great from what I can see. I would love some brighter pictures.

Seeing Obi burying that lightsaber was so like that Speederbike Charge scene where he took on Durge. Very cool and back to the front page.

You did an execellent job on both dios mate, both have just enough action going on without over doing it and they also tell a story well done indeed.

Thanks mates, while i finish the big dioramas here another hold one that i created and i just finished the wooden support.

I had the idea to create this dioramas after i drop an amethyst ( because i am a semi precious and minerals stone collector) so i decided to mix my two hobbie and here it is : a force crystals cave. Where i supposed some jedi using purple lightsaber have found their.
