My diorama - Mos Maa'eli

This dio has been a WIP for the past few months.  It's been a labour of love (and sometimes a labour of frustration).  There's a few custom figures also and there's ALOT of work to be done to it yet and alot more figures as well.

ENJOY

Thanks guys....i don't really know what to say!  ???  I'm flattered...thank you. 

There's an extention at the back that was going to be the main walkway into town BUT i changed that and now there's a WIP building and a small street.  I'm planning on cleaning up the Photobucket pics, get rid of some of the WIP shots etc etc and just have the completed shots there to view.

I'm a tad miffed at my local arts & crafts store because they've run out of the products i use on the buildings so the WIP building may not get completed for a few weeks which is annoying me to no end  :-\

Again guys thanks for the comments, very much appreciated and chuffed.  My dear wife just rolls her eyes at me with stuff like this  :D

Cheers

Gosh, this really looks terrific!  There is a graininess to the photo that makes it literally appear as though its film quality.  The realism you sense from this is quite astounding.  I've really enjoyed checking this out; welcome to the Yards!

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

Very cool!  I've been meaning to a Tatooine-based diorama, this will serve as a good inspiration!  Can't wait to see more pics!

Welcome to the Yards Wardog! Your diorama is fantastic! Great photography as others have said the grainy look makes this look real!

Not sure if your photo grain level was intentional or if you took the photo on a low def camera on purpose, but either way it works very well for a gritty desert scene! I'm sure you've been to the outback a few times, probably more than a few tinnies out ;) I've never been to the outback, but I have been to the desert with a film camera and all my photos had this level of grain. Awesome work! Can't wait to see more! I want to go hang out in your Tatooine town!

At first glance that looked like a screen grab, very well done
