jlw515:
Here are pics of dioramas and such. Some have appeared in my Vader's Quest photonovel. Enjoy
Modular Cantina
Vintage Kenner Dagobah repaint. And before anyone mentions it, yes I realize Luke's arms are on backwards in the pic of Luke doing a handstand.
Vintage Kenner Darth Vader's Star Destroyer revamped/repaint
Imperial Garrison aka GIJOE headquarters repaint
Repainted GIJOE Whirlwind & FLAK to look more Star Wars-esque.

Awesome stuff, man. I really like the joe gun repaints and that reworked joe base.
What did you make the modular cantina walls from?
Reconsgt:
Very nice, It's always nice to see someone else re-doing some vintage items.
Luke Sprywalker:
Very nice work here. I love the modular Cantina walls. That is a great alternative if you can't make the whole thing and quite convenient to display or take photos then put away. I love the changes you made to the Joe base as well. It fits in well with the imperials.

The modular Cantina exterior wall (the arches) were made from 3/4" styrene foam insulation board (think "pink board" or "blue board"). The actual alcoves were made from foam board available from Wal-Mart. I used drywall mud for the texture on the walls. I put three coats of texture on the walls. With the second coat of mud, I used a sponge to give it the "adobe" look. Then I painted it with a beige interior house paint. After that I gave it a wash in thinned out brown to bring out some of the details.
I had built a modular style Cantina years ago as a display on 1x12 shelves. I plan on making the other side of the Cantina (2 alcoves) and a fake back wall. With a modular design its easier for taking pictures, and storage!!
