I think I caught just a small glimpse with that overall shot you gave us yesterday. That is a great scene!

Once all scenes I plan to do in the Executor will be done, this will be less small  ;D

So, here are the 3 first shot of the beginning of the work.

Figures are on just for scale.

I hope you enjoy to see the dio as I enjoy to build it ;)

So, let's go for some new pictures.

Cardboard blocks between wall wood elements are just for spacing.  2 'window blocks' are not done yet and will (would, help me, my english isn't really good) take place here.


Stay tuned  ;D

Darn, that is too bad buddy! It is nice to hear from you, though. We had been missing your input.

were you always a Star Wars diorama guy, DR, or have you done other dioramas in the past?
  You show a lot of skill and attention for detail. Do you build plastic models? You have the skills of a plastic modeler.

Post by: Darth Revenge on January 30, 2009, 10:59:48 AM
Always and only SW   ;D.

Never tried plastic, but the wish is here  ;D.

In fact, my first dio is not very old, I've made it for a SW event in july 2008.

Here's a picture, my daughter Darth Hellion is on it ^^

Dio was made 'in kit', easily collasible for shipping.

I'm back !

My f*****g left hand is always painfull, but I try to do something.

Here is 3 shots from last hour.

Part will be primed with acrylic white paint tomorow.

New block must be  collapsible for easier shipping.

Back location will be part of a hallway (left) and Vader's meditation chamber on the right.

Maybe some DEL for lightning...

Enough talk, now the pics...
