Still a Traviss fan. XD It's such a travesty (I couldn't resist XP) that the series wasn't finished. I hope against hope that they'll bring her back one day to finish it up, but there's too much conflict with the current TCW...sadly.
I'm really loving your custom figs tho, and that strill is amazing. So jealous by the way...THREE EUROS for Revan!?! Thanks for the great comments, and I'll be sure to check out your upcoming figs, especially that corellian flightsuit galen (one of my fav. costumes). Tell me how you like KOTOR II XD

I'm struggling to get into the first Kotor,gameplay seems to be dragging.........kotor II however l have been hooked all throughout from peragus mining facility right through to malachor and the MSG. anybody else found this to be true?? Does it get better after meeting with canderous ordo in the lower levels?

Really liking your work,you should post more if you can spare the time.

Revan was a true bargain of the century, despite the damage, I think the custom one is in my figures, I'll be posting a group shot of all my sith soon but he looks good. Replaced the damaged robe with black cloth and the front reddish bit from po nudo I think,could've been mas amedda or palpatines.........po nudo is becoming an aqualish sith from Krayt's mob, I'll use the dio for photo's of them.
We can only hope some day that the series is completed,left dangling like that isn't on........once the clone wars series is finished maybe the gaps will be filled with a new novel?

Thanks to everybody who has been following the progress of this clan skirata camp scene and the comments/compliments,I wish I had the space to expand it even bigger but the kids won't bugger off and get jobs.........being only 8rys and 13 yrs old isn't a good enough excuse,i need more room heh ;D

Got some photos of the new dio but due to a dead laptop they'll have to wait. Spent an hour going through ROTJ taking pics for reference and layout,and pleased to say its going to plan and to scale.
 
Building jabba's throne room and rancor pit in one piece.Once complete I intend to finish it off by making it into a display cabinet to protect the dio but especially all the vintage figures
Walls,arches, plinths and steps all done.
Working trapdoor and chute into the pit in place,and secured with expanding foam filler,5 more cans should do for the pit rockwork,found cheap supplier on eBay.

Nice! You just can't beat this combo for a diorama/playset.

Agreed there spry,been a blast building it..........and once it's encased in wood and all lit up the vintage figures and playlets will be safely displayed..

Need another 500ml can of foam to fill in the gaps and Rancor living quarters then I'll be at the halfway point.
Wish I had more pics but I've only just got a new iPad yesterday......easier to post work with a tablet than a PC/laptop.

The Mando Camp turned out beautifully and the Jabba Palace is already looking fantastic, I can't wait to see it complete.

Cheers Ron...........got the skirata camp pretty much how I expected it to appear. And for an expert like yourself to like my effort means a great deal.  :)

Taken a time out from the palace this week for Xmas shopping and preparations,the mrs and myself want to get the majority of it ready nice and early before the last minute shoppers come out in force. Especially if it snows heavy again like it does most years...........last minute shoppers and 2ft of snow = chaos ;D

So far the top is almost ready for stone effect,it looks basic.......steps,plinth,walls and arches. No detailing fitted.
Working trapdoor fitted.
Chute was positioned and secured in expanding foam filler.
Doorway from viewing pit to the rear enclosure secured in expanding foam.
Viewing gridwork halfway to complete.

Didn't take long to get it that far so after the weekend I may get a lot more done.
