Title: LostBoys Dioramas
Post by: LostBoy on September 19, 2010, 01:18:32 PM: Hi Folks,

I'd like to show you my dioramas. I`m not as good as the whole audience here in the forum but i think that I can show you my works.

Depend on the fact that I host my pictures on one server, I post only 2 pics right here.

If you are interested, you can jump to my blog and enjoy the rest of it.

Have fun and feel free to post comments or ask questions.

The hill is made of styrofoam (4 cm thick) and glued by hot glue.

Post by: hangarbay94 on September 25, 2010, 05:51:50 AM: Lost Boy, your diorama is excellent, I especially like the subject matter as I've never seen a Vong dio before.

A great creative effort, you've made something that any Star Wars fan would love to have in their collection

Post by: LostBoy on December 17, 2010, 03:03:16 PM: Oh Damn,

I wasn't`t lazy the last few weeks, but I hadn't`t enough time to post the updates. The Result is that my own post is on page 2....till now.

OK Guys, I finished up Part #3 of my "Recon Point" Mini-Diorama. The Diorama is actually done, but I post this step for the right timeframe.
I try to give you the final pics before Christmas.

If you wanna see more pics, click the picture below to jump to all WIP Pics at my blog.
Enjoy!

Title: Re: LostBoys Dioramas
Post by: LostBoy on December 18, 2010, 10:50:05 AM: I don`t work on a photo novel.
I`m try to build something for my figures, I don`t want to store them MOC in a box.

Title: Re: LostBoys Dioramas
Post by: DocOutlands on December 22, 2010, 07:03:35 PM: AFFA is kin of my personal running joke. It stands for "Action Figure Freedom Alliance - Because Toys Were Meant To Be Played With!" It was the outgrowth of a discussion on another board between "Openers" and "MOCers." AFFA members open their toys, because that's what toys are for - being opened and played with. Here on the 'Yards, you know Tamer is a pretty serious MOCer, so I use AFFA to give him some good-natured ribbing. So, your comments about not wanting to leave your fig's stored MOC in boxes fits right in with the AFFA philosophy, you see.

BTW - great display/dio!!
Title: Re: LostBoys Dioramas
Post by: LostBoy on December 23, 2010, 01:34:42 AM: Oh, understood!

That is cool, and yeah, I`m a damn AFFA.

Thank you for the comment and the description.

Title: Re: LostBoys Dioramas
Post by: Clonehead on January 31, 2011, 09:24:44 PM: Nice and large, just the way we like em. Looks like you have got enough room for a vehicle on this one.
Title: Re: LostBoys Dioramas
Post by: LostBoy on January 31, 2011, 10:11:55 PM: The space is limited, ayou can use a Mini-Rig, but no Medium Vehicle.

I made some tests with the new AT-AP from the TCW Line, but the messures (30x30 cm) are little to small, you can do something but ist looks not good enough.

That is the reason why I currently work on a 30x60 cm Diorama, to include a Starfighter and a outpost.
Title: Re: LostBoys Dioramas
Post by: LostBoy on February 07, 2011, 03:07:00 PM: So, we will soon come to an end.

I used a special color for this dio, you know the troopers and you may know the opposite droid, now imagine till the final pics.....

What do you use as far as glue on the Styrofoam so that it doesn't get eaten up?
Title: Re: LostBoys Dioramas
Post by: LostBoy on April 06, 2011, 10:19:23 AM: Thank you for your comment!

Most of the times I see the figures and than I plan the dio. That means I look after the background and the perfect situation, just from my view.

I just use "Hot Glue" for the Styrofoam, it works quickly and good.

Post by: hemble on April 14, 2011, 03:27:13 AM: Love the base simple but very effective well done.
