I keep thinking of dumpster fire when I see this, but its dumpster dianoga!

Just a great chuckle gather as well as being a great custom.

Haha yeah i like to make some light hearted customs sometimes. Like the wacky packages bodega. The dumpster is a little "earthly" but it gets the point across. The galgrebaa project is a combination of the star wars world, our world along with a splash of other franchises and satire.

Final presentation of the dumpster is perfect. Another eye catcher

Thank you. I'm trying to get my feet wet in toy photography. I have all these customs and dioramas, i need to learn to take pictures of them.

Been "off the grid" leading up to the holidays, so I missed this final product shot before Christmas. I think it turned out really well, I like the way you weathered the dumpster. I also really like you color choice for the Dianoga. Well done. I got a kick out of your images too. Poor little Jawas, always getting picked on.

Love this weathering, and h the diagona is the cherry on the top of the cake. Makes the piece pops like the sun.

Thank you! I was wondering what you were up to, haven't seen you around. Glad you're back!

Thank you! I thought it would be a fun little thing to make. Soon I will start on a new building I've been planning for a while. I was just waiting for the mythrol, more accurately his  accessories to come in. I was thinking of a pawn shop/ currency exchange/ bounty bondman's office. Like a primative form of a bank. Just waiting for my foam board to come in. I ordered 6 1' squares as opposed to a 4'x8' sheet. I think it'll reduce waste overall.

   Unexpectedly I had today off instead of Wednesday because of some logistical problems so to take my mind off things I started "Fleezum's Exchange" a pawnshop, currency exchange and bounty broker's office.  Of course I have to modify Fleezum N. Cheetum's backstory.
  Fleezum N. Cheetum, the local Ranat money changer and bounty broker on Galgrebaa. He often cheats his customers especially when exchanging currency. He buys stolen priceless antiquities from pirates looking for a quick buck. His exchange is conveniently located between the ports and the casino district.  Gamblers can sell items for quick cash and head back to the casinos. Of course this is all a front for his more lucrative black market where he sells everything from weapons, exotic animals, spice and even body parts and organs collected from "dead" bounties.
  This is all just a mock-up, held together with toothpicks and tape, it meets my approval, so I'll  do some fine tuning, glue it all together, and paint it up.  The inside will be filled with exotic curios and antiquities.  The wanted posters are disney parks pins. Im going to add some nano LEDs behind them to make them stand out as holograms. The different currencies are 3d printed coins from ebay. The positions are subject to change but I do want to use them.

Like the backstory for Cheetum. Though maybe a smart customer might take notice of the last name   :)  The shop looks great. Those Disney pins were a great idea.

Thank you. I saw the wanted signs and thought they were perfect. Not cheap, but I like them. I'll try not to destroy them.
His first name is no better. To fleece someone means to deceive them. Pulling the wool over their eyes. Throughout history money changers have had a bad reputation of fleecing and cheating travelers. Same today at those currency exchange kiosks.

Yes, money changers and money lenders (along with tax collectors) have often been considered a necessary evil and classed as "piriahs." I hadn't made the connection between "Fleezum" and "Fleece them."

Thank you. Im not sure if ill add a backing to them, to make the pictures and text stand out better, or just go with LEDs.  The nano leds should be shipping soon, so I'll find out. Something I found as a good backing is the plastic carboard type sign board. It really diffuses and spreads the light well. Here's an example, from when I was playing around with it.  It was my original idea, but decided to go a different direction.

That corrugated plastic tip is great. It really does produce a nice effect.
