Barry, another thing to consider from the model railroad bag of tricks is to run the dio/layout around the edges of the room rather than building it as a unitary piece on a 4x8 sheet.  Granted, given the rather distinct "2-sides" nature of the battlefield, that might not work out well for Hoth!  However, it might be an approach to consider for the revamp of Mos Eisley.  I highly recommend Kalmbach's books on model railroad layouts - heck, any of their books, really, as well as their fine magazines Model Railroader and FineScale Modeller - for truly spectacular model-building, scenery-building, and dio/layout construction approaches.

Spook - WOW!  Nice special effects work!

Thanks a lot Doc. I'll have to check that out. I really appreciate all of the great advice.

Thanks so much Tamer! Here are some pix of round 2 with the laser effect. I'll let this 'puffy paint' dry and will paint tomorrow.

Awesome diorama!!! This is just me playing around with special effects to add a "cinematic" feeling!!!

[Tamer]

Pretty cool Crazy.

I can so see these lasers have red led tubes connected by fishing line so you can keep them all in a straight line.

Starting on the backdrop... I am certainly no painter, lol.



Tips are always welcome.

And, with finished background.

I don't think Han is even remotely worried about the snow in his hair.

"Oh s**t, that's VADER coming right at me!"

Fantastic dio, r1bb1t!
