Darth More's Modular Dioramas: Mos Eisley
Darth More:
Hey guys,
I have been working on a bigger model of Mos Eisley for a long time...and I would like to show you some pictures of the buildings and the figures on it although it isn't really finished, yet. But before losing more and more time I prefer giving you a short overview of it. I am still woking on it as far as school is allowing that.
The pictures will come, soon...

So here are the tools and materials I used to build the diorama of Mos Eisley:
List of Materials:
- hobby knifes - saved my life
- ruler - for general measurements, it's actually always good to have two of them
- metal/aluminium ruler - perfect for cutting along with a hobby knife
- set square - regular and big size to measure and draw all angles needed
- pencils
- sandpaper
- calculator - to estimate size and scale (1 meter are 5,5 cm in 1/18 scale)
- styrofoam - cheap and good to work with
- spatula/depressor
- styrofoam glue
- wood glue
- filler/screed
- sand
- plywood / medium-density fiberboard = MDF plate

And here are some pics of the result...

I used chipboard/plywood for the base plate. The plate measures 160x110x3 cm (~63x43x1.2 inches). The base plate (~$28), the wooden strips (~$12) and the two pillars (~$60) are from a building supplies store and cost about $100.
After all strips were fixed I painted the plate in mat black:
It was a rainy weekend - the best weather for some model building!!
With a stencil the STAR WARS emblem was applied with silver paint:
The two pillars and the base plate were expensive, but I can use them for many purposes. I'm also planning on doing different dioramas on this plate like Endor, Hoth, Geonosis or Felucia.
