Topic: Luke Sprywalker Dioramas Updated 2-6 Han in carbonite display!

Thanks guys and yes, this entire dio will be lit. This one will be a slow process but I tell you, I am dying to jump on the Bespin dio. I have been studying screen caps from ESB and am excited to get ready and bring all those details to life. I think this is one of the toughest scenes from the saga to recreate, so wish me luck.

I am also looking for a second set of the trash base from the compacter set. Don't care what set it is I just want the trash compacter scene to be much deeper. I don't want the figures, just the base.

I can't wait to see an update on this Bespin Dio. Remember everything you do for this please, I can smell a certain person who might want to comission something along these lines. It just looks great so far L.E.

Thanks Shawn! I was talking to Darth Daddy 2 days ago about taking notes/building a note book of what was done for each figure/diorama we have made. I said that is why I post so many WIP pics at the Yards. Anyone, myself included, can go thru my threads and see the build for everything I have made. As a matter of fact, I am doing just that right now. I have been commissioned to make several of my Jabba's Palace figures for another collector. So I am looking at how I did everything in my figure thread to remake these guys. Looks like I may get real busy then buddy, you are the second person to mention that they may want me to make them one of these.

Thats another reason why I wanted to create this place. Can you imagine if some of us took the time to put together a book to document some of the builds that have been shown here with step by steps for some of the outstanding artists like yourself? Best Seller I am thinking!

Some great stuff. That Rebel Hanger really blows my mind.

Reviving this thread! I did some cleaning in the lab and changed up a section of my shelving with an Indiana Jones display. My Raven Bar diorama was dying to be removed from it's box so I set it up in such a way I can also use the back for the Streets of Cairo scene. I have also been working on casting a few vintage Indy items that are for this set I built a good while ago. I am so glad to be casting and making these parts customizable after all these years.


So first I set this up on the desk just o work things out.

So after this set up I knew I wanted to make some covers for these stands. So that prompted fruit stand 2.0!

Looks great Spry, I love all the color in this. Definitely one of my favorite dios you have created. Back on the front page.

[r1bb1t]

The fruit stand and accessories look fantastic!

[Lance Quazar]

YES!!!!!!!!

An Indy dio!  And by the master himself!!!

This is so beautiful and colorful and vibrant and full of life and creativity and energy!

I LOVE THIS!

Oh, how I miss the Indy line!  Thanks for keeping the dream alive.

GORGEOUS!

[Clonehead]

looking good, Spry! Tell us about the fruit.

[Luke Sprywalker]

Thanks for the kind words everyone! It is great to hear from some Indy fans here and really glad you dropped by Lance! I have a few Indy related projects going on, more on that soon.Clint, I cast the stands and the fruit from the vintage playset. A friend let me borrow the parts. I am trying to decide if I will cast the large baskets that Marion jumps in or just scratch build a few. They are going to eat up some mold material being my concern. I mocked up a scratch built one wrapped in bandaging product I got at walmart. The only problem is having a working lid, but I may not worry about having one. Barry, thanks, great to hear from you my friend.

Spry I can't belive I have missed this Indy dio, I totally love what you have done here and your work is always amazing. If I were you I would cast the large baskets even if you don't place Marion in them they would really add to the realism of the dio and I can't wait to see what Indy dios you have coming.
