Hey mate, so good to see you back! The Jedi Temple dio and the Republic Outpost both look amazing! Are these all printed decals on the walls?

Man these are really great! The outpost, it's hard to believe it's paper. Really cool. The mustafar lava looks great too. The tatooine layout looks really expansive, it's like a little City. Very awesome.

Wow, love the spread on that Tattoine one. All are nice.

Thanks so much for sharing these.  I especially love the Episode I area.  Sometimes a building facade is what you need.  This diorama has more than that but I just love the facade with the narrow steps.  They are all great.  Well done.

WOW! You've been busy. These are great dioramas, they look really good. I especially like the Geonosis tunnel.

There's SO MUCH impressive stuff to look at here! Thanks for your comment on my topic, which I've now replied to (http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?topic=10155.msg221065#msg221065).

Jedi Temple: I think I've seen images of your diorama when I was looking for reference material on google images. I'm amazed how much the prints on walls and floor look like real stone plates or marble. Really like those benches, too!
The prints look so sharp that I thought it was a real screen on the table in the middle.


Republic Outpost: A friend of mine made me such an outpost to my birthday. I had it for some years, but then took it apart because I had to space to put this 100x90 cm plate. But I kept the parts and some day I'll re-build it. Both of us were quite sad to let it go.
Your outpost uses very interesting parts! I really like the gadget for the AT-TE! Where did you find these columns beside the AT-TE?
The shape of the bunker looks so good as well as the lights inside. Really nice composition there!


Geonosis: Now, this gives me some heavy Republic Commando and Clone Wars vibes! You've captured the shape of the rocks and the stalactites perfectly! I also like how you painted the base plates to match the environment!

Mustafar: This one just blew me away! Which magic did you put to the lava to make it glow like that? Is it just paint or even lights behind it?
The mat and shining black paint is also a masterpiece of effects!
Looks like the Sith got the high ground here.
10/10

Tatooine: Look at the size of this thing! I agree with previious comments that this is stellar! It's impressive how detalied you captured the scenery of Episode I with all the distinct shapes of  buildings, stairs, pillars and walls! The weathering looks superb. This is just amazing! I so need to finish my modular diorama of Mos Eisley (http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?topic=3139.msg55948#msg55948), too!
Congrats on all of these! Your buildings look great! Where did you get that TLC Jacen Solo by the way?

Thanks for sharing all these! Again, it's so good to have you back here!

To all

I just start about 4 dioramas scenes I been working on the Mando landscape for Mos , Jabbas Palace, Also working on the Sandcrawler making it have size. It's too big to do a full size. It looks like at least 3'x 1.5 to 2'. I also have been working on back drops using some of the images from Skirim it's so cool. Here are some

Now this looks great. Off to share on the front pages.

Wow, I really like your curved palm trees! I also like the foliage at the bottom of their trunks. I recognize some plants from ebay offers. Did you buy all parts on ebay or also from aquarium supplies?
Your dioramas look really awesome. I especially like this one of Scarif! Thanks for sharing the latest update!

The trees are nice, looking forward to see the full dio.

All my plants come from Michaels. used 1/2" pvc pipe and heat gun to make it bend that way.

The palm tree look fantastic, looking forward to seeing the final piece.

Title: Re: I'm Back
Post by: Starchaser on September 17, 2020, 10:27:38 PM

I agree with the previous posts, the trees have turned out really well. I do like some of the images from Skyrim, so using them as backdrops is a great idea (Miraak's temple looks like it would fit in on Naboo somewhere).

I'm really liking the start on the Temple/regal building façade. I will watch with interest as I have a similar piece of foam that I was thinking about using in the same way.

I know this is not Star Wars but this is the cool way to bring Earth to the Star Wars Galaxy. Here is a small picture of my hint.
