Title: Droidworld's Hoth
Post by: Droidworld on May 20, 2011, 01:27:14 PM: Hello Again! Both Spooky and I began our Hoth dioramas simultaneously, so you may see some similarities, as we basically fed off each other along the way. I'm not quite finished, but will share a few pics for now, which give a sense of it:

(http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii303/Droidworld/DIORAMAS/WestwardView.jpg) (http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii303/Droidworld/DIORAMAS/WampaLighting.jpg) (http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii303/Droidworld/DIORAMAS/ThroughTheGlass.jpg) (http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii303/Droidworld/DIORAMAS/OverHanWestward.jpg) (http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii303/Droidworld/DIORAMAS/TransomRight.jpg) (http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii303/Droidworld/DIORAMAS/TransomCables2.jpg) (http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii303/Droidworld/DIORAMAS/Cave-In-1.jpg) (http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii303/Droidworld/DIORAMAS/SouthPassageWide.jpg) (http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii303/Droidworld/DIORAMAS/CMDCentrePreview.jpg) (http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii303/Droidworld/DIORAMAS/NewMats.jpg) (http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii303/Droidworld/DIORAMAS/TransomPreview.jpg) (http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii303/Droidworld/Custom%20Figures/K-3PDead.jpg) (http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii303/Droidworld/Custom%20Figures/TorynFarr2.jpg) (http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii303/Droidworld/DIORAMAS/SheildDoors.jpg) (http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii303/Droidworld/DIORAMAS/Dusk.jpg)(http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii303/Droidworld/DIORAMAS/ChewieSad.jpg)(http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii303/Droidworld/Lights5.jpg) (http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii303/Droidworld/WidescreenInvasion.jpg) (http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii303/Droidworld/VaderInvades2.jpg) (http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii303/Droidworld/Snowtroops2.jpg)

And I'm still finishing the surface Battle of Hoth, but here's what I have so far.....

Post by: DarthSinister on May 21, 2011, 07:31:05 AM: With all the excitement over your Dagobah dio, I think this one was lost in the shuffle.

This is just as awesome! I think you covered every scene in the base here! Just awesome!

I especially love the Bacta Tank scene. The lights in 2-1B's eye sockets are over the top!

Thanks for posting!
Title: Re: Droidworld's Hoth
Post by: RebelAce on May 21, 2011, 07:39:21 AM: Excellent set-up! I can see a lot of time and effort and hard work was put into creating all the fine details. It's inspiring for me to step up my game. :)
Title: Re: Droidworld's Hoth
Post by: Tamer on May 21, 2011, 06:09:13 PM: Wow, and I thought the Degobah one was over the top.

I am a Battle of Hoth Nut. Plain and simple this is just awesome.
Title: Re: Droidworld's Hoth
Post by: Tamer on May 22, 2011, 07:38:57 AM: Thank you so much for sharing this with us. It is now gracing our front page.

I am just awe inspired right now.
Title: Re: Droidworld's Hoth
Post by: Spookymufu on May 22, 2011, 09:26:03 AM: yup, this is the best Hoth dio I've seen, I got a lot of inspiration from this one.
Title: Re: Droidworld's Hoth
Post by: Clonehead on May 22, 2011, 09:52:48 AM: My lord, that is a stunning creation to behold. My hats off to you, sir!
Title: Re: Droidworld's Hoth
Post by: Droidworld on May 22, 2011, 10:57:18 AM: Thanks guys! I still have a few days of work left, then I'll post the "final" pictures. And I forgot to post the images of one of the three turntables that are incorporated into the dio. These were taken when the dio was only half done, so some elements around the turntable are not "final", but you get the idea.....

Title: Re: Droidworld's Hoth
Post by: Tamer on May 22, 2011, 04:09:08 PM: Wow, love the animated gif style these are in too. You could re-enact the whole Battle of Hoth!

This looks wonderful.
Title: Re: Droidworld's Hoth
Post by: finn on May 22, 2011, 06:30:17 PM: damn you dio builds have some serious skills! I wish I had a) the skills to make something close to these and b) the room to have them. The wife only allows my collection in my man cave and I really don't have too much more room! My hat is off to you and Spooky.... truely awsome stuff!

Ron
Title: Re: Droidworld's Hoth
Post by: hangarbay94 on May 23, 2011, 01:20:47 AM: Droidworld, this is breathtaking! the amount of detail is just a pleasure to behold and has to be one of the highlights of the forum.

It is very hard to point out particular details as the whole thing is so meticulous in its construction. The consoles in the control room must have taken ages, I love the gantry as well. What I wouldn't give to have the skill and patience to put this together!

I'd love to include it in our forthcoming Dioramas Showcase, so could you PM me with permission to include your images. If you have any more images you'd like to add I'd love to include them.

Jules

Post by: Art deWhill on May 23, 2011, 02:36:54 AM: AMAZING work!!! I am speechless, so many favorit shots and scenes, the details, lights... outstanding!!
Title: Re: Droidworld's Hoth
Post by: Droidworld on June 01, 2011, 07:52:24 PM: Thank you guys! Well I've started taking some photos of the finished diorama, and now THAT's going to be more work than expected! I don't have a wide angle lens on my cheap camera, so I have to stitch photos together. A friend is coming over with a much better camera, but here we go......

Here is a panoramic view of the lower section, showing almost the entire hanger....

(http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii303/Droidworld/DIORAMAS/HangerPanorama.jpg)

And here is the turntable, this time with some late to the meeting rebels:

(http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii303/Droidworld/DIORAMAS/RebelRun500.gif)

Now here are some similar pics to an update I did a while ago, but with most of the elements complete this time.....

I'll be posting finished pics over the next few days, so keep your eyes peeled!

It is also on our front page.
Title: Re: Droidworld's Hoth
Post by: Droidworld on June 02, 2011, 11:50:59 AM: Thanks Tamer for the front page honours!!! I've done some GIFs to show the various transitions and set-ups of this Hoth Dio. Again, there is more to come....

Post by: Tamer on June 02, 2011, 12:07:55 PM: Wow. Like the gifs.

If you ever do anymore and want to make me one that has a max width of 425 that is the maximum size I can use for the fp news.
Title: Re: Droidworld's Hoth
Post by: Luke Sprywalker on June 02, 2011, 06:44:10 PM: Oh my those gif's are freakin' sweet! This is so amazing then you see the glow where the doors are open and it just puts it on another level. So many great details you just can't list them all. My hat is off to you for sticking to such an involved project.
Title: Re: Droidworld's Hoth
Post by: Droidworld on June 02, 2011, 09:08:42 PM: Thanks so much Tamer and Luke Sprywalker! I added some still images between the gifs. The flashing images all together was a bit irritating. Hope this helps. More images and gifs to come!
Title: Re: Droidworld's Hoth
Post by: finn on June 03, 2011, 06:25:03 PM: Awsome job!! I wish I had those skills and if I did my wife would kill me for taking up more space!

I would love to know how you made the gantry over the X-Wing. I would love to have 3 or 4 of those myself!

Thanks finn! There is a WIP/how to over at Rebelscum. Here is the link to page 3 where it begins:

http://threads.rebelscum.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=4465006&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=365&fpart=3&vc=1 (http://threads.rebelscum.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=4465006&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=365&fpart=3&vc=1)

Now for some low art/comedy. When trying to decide what to put in a spot in the back of the pull out section, to hide the batteries for the lights and fiber optics, I solicited fellow dio/customizers at Rebelscum for ideas, and we came up with the idea of Princess Leia's flooded chamber's.

Without further adieu, here it is. The scene where our favourite droids discover the thermal heater is blasting, and melting everything, including a hole in the floor! "OH MY GOODNESS!!!"

Post by: halnarthax87 on June 04, 2011, 06:05:59 AM: Ha ha, awesome. I never really caught C-3pO's line about her clothes in that scene until recently. Made me laugh.
Title: Re: Droidworld's Hoth
Post by: Tamer on June 04, 2011, 07:27:32 AM: LOL. I always wondered what that might have looked like!

Back on the front page.

I would also like to thank DW for the flashy eyes on my avatar. He knows how to make some nice animated gifs!
Title: Re: Droidworld's Hoth
Post by: hemble on June 04, 2011, 10:17:53 PM: Hell yeah this is brillant lov ethe details in her room like the photo's the melted snow hole and the wet cloths. Ialso like the heater the painted coils actually look like the would burn you if you touch them.

On a side note do you have a tutorial on the turntables I really like the idea and would like to try it on a dio.

Ron

Ron

Ron, I'm not sure what to say about a tutorial for turntables, other than it is trial and error, and you have to build around them, constantly checking that nothing impedes their ability to turn. You want them anchored with a non-slip mat while building, and if you want to, can glue it in place once you have everything around it done. Just make sure the structure around it is solid, and won't settle, and impede movement, especially if you glue it in place. The turntables I use are about eight to ten inches in diameter and make of plastic. They are also $1 from the dollar store, so cheap to play and experiment with! Hope this helps!

Title: Re: Droidworld's Hoth
Post by: Droidworld on June 07, 2011, 08:11:21 PM: Hey Spooky, thanks! Just had a friend take some HUGE pics. I'm sizing them down, and doing a little Photoshop this time round. (Her camera could get some wide and panorama pics, my cheap camera could not. As well as some nice close shots)

Here are some:

Can't wait to get the new Bespin Han....he will look sooooooo much better in here. We did some South Passage pics, with Han and Leia, but I hate the Han I used, so will re-do those pics in the future.)

Title: Re: Droidworld's Hoth
Post by: Droidworld on June 08, 2011, 09:58:56 AM: Thanks guys! I hope everyone realizes/read that the background is photoshopped in for the outdoor Hoth images. Eventually I will paint a "similar" backdrop, but it won't be photorealistic like the photoshops.

Here is a before and after.....sorry to destroy the illusion!

(http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii303/Droidworld/HothPS.jpg)

Have a few more images and gifs I'm working on, but here are a couple more for now....

this is hands-down one of the best hoth's i've seen.

Title: Re: Droidworld's Hoth
Post by: Tamer on June 09, 2011, 03:45:25 AM: I agree. I like the PS images too. It is like the image HB94 just did of his custom ship in an action pose or Triple SSS with his Bwing. I think it just adds to the whole effect.
Title: Re: Droidworld's Hoth
Post by: Clonehead on June 09, 2011, 05:40:35 AM: The fact that your ps elements mesh together so well with the dio elements is a testament to how good your dio looks.

your trench area with the ps elements in the background is just damn convincing and could easily be confused with a frame from the movie.

Post by: halnarthax87 on June 10, 2011, 04:11:14 AM: Agh! This thing just keeps going! Absolutely incredible, just when I think this set can't get anymore expansive, intricate and utterly impressive. I feel like I should be jealous of your skill... but instead I just find myself just wishing I could play with this thing. ;D ;D ;D
Hopefully Hasbro will take notice of this and release something this big based on your example.

PS work is welcomed and I just love these latest 3 or so updates I am seeing at once today. I will be watching ESB again this evening as I have been so inspired by this body of work. I feel like I am in Hoth right now, let me go turn up the AC. OK back, You have captured so many great scenes with this and each one is just like being on set. My helmet is off to you my friend. I could go on all day from start to finish about the extra lenghts you went to that have paid off in the end to be the greatest Hoth diorama we have seen on the web from a customizer. I want it!

And no worries Spooky, our Hoth dios are cousins after all!

here's one more pic of a custom "G-3PO" figure I did for the dio.

I love the close in pics. Usually, dio's look great in wide shots, but not so good in closeups. However, yours bears up under the close ups as well.

I've gone back to taking a few more pics with my crap camera. I splurged and got the new Bespin Han at a local Comic Scalp Shop, and had to get a couple of South Passage, "true feelings" shots with him.......

Post by: hangarbay94 on June 30, 2011, 02:33:58 PM: Droidworld, this is an epic creation, there is way too much detail for me to know where to begin in my praise.

All I can say is that I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at all of your wonderful images, every one seems to show off a different location within the base! Hoth is possible the hardest location to create, and you have done a superb job recreating the snow and ice.

My favourite image is this one:
(http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii303/Droidworld/DIORAMAS/IMG_2413.jpg) it just looks so realistic and there is so much action in the shot, plus a great depth of field.

Amazing!
