Post by: Luke Sprywalker on March 19, 2010, 05:24:41 PM: Awesome Mos Eisley set up! I love seeing some Original Trilogy love here. I almost spit crown and coke when I saw the pic with Willrow from the Hood slinging cocktails. I love that figure as it always gets a laugh.

I know it really sucks that I can't display it 24/7. Hopefully once I move out & get my own place I'll have a room big enough to display EVERYTHING!

Post by: hangarbay94 on March 20, 2010, 01:16:52 PM: Steve, those images and the dio are just fantasitc. It would be great to take the thing outside on a sunny day and get some shots with real sunlight, it would look real.

Seeing dioramas like this make me remember back to the magic night I first saw the movie...oh man! was that the event of all events...33 years on and I'm still obsessed. What you have crafted there is something really special, thanks so much for sharing such wonderful images.

Post by: Darth More on March 21, 2010, 02:22:38 AM: Steve, your diorama looks totally awesome especially the buildings on it. How did you make the color of the buildings?

I am still working on my diorma and fortuantely found some pieces metal,yesterday, as also seen in your streets of Mos Eisley...but the color of my buildings is much lighter than yours...

Thanks for sharing your pictures on the Shipyards! Hope you'll also enjoy the pictures of my Mos Eisley dio.

Have a nice day!

LOL, just kidding, thats the mrs who helped me set up & photograph the dioramas :)

The dio is awesome and really makes me want to do one. I've always wanted to do a full scale dio for star wars. Just don't have the room for it too be honest.

I must say that your wife takes away from the dio.
She is a very pretty woman.
I mean no offense in that.

We could be married at 18 if we so wished, but I would hazard a guess that that is quite a way off yet...

Thanks Rodger, much appreciated.
I did have some production photos, but unfortunately due to my computer suffering god knows how many malfunctions since this dio was created, I no longer have them.

(was your hard drive hurt? I'm working on getting set up to salvage files off hard-drives, because I have several dead computers. If you are interested, maybe salvage is an option!)

Although I do take it as a high praise when someone insinuates my children, should I have any, would be very lucky. Reassures me that I'm not such a screw-up afterall.
