Post by: Tamer on May 16, 2011, 07:17:10 PM: Wow, just a great back story to go with an excellent diorama. Look for it on the fp soon.
Title: Re: The Spectre's Dioramas
Post by: Tamer on May 24, 2011, 05:34:00 AM: I can't wait to see this continue. I must admit that MOTU was one of my must see shows when I was a kid. I even missed the bus one day to watch it on the TV at school because they had cable.

On the front page!

Post by: DanOfTheDead on May 24, 2011, 11:04:31 AM: LOVE IT! I hadn't taken the time to really look this over, but now that I own the base I can tell exactly how much work you must've put into this. VERY nicely done man.

Back story is great, look forward to seeing it continue!

I'm asked to login when I try to access your secret shot, is there a way to see it without needing a login? :D

Thanks! It took a TON of work to make everything come together like I wanted but it was so very worth it in the end :)

The next chapter will be added sometime towards the end of next month as I am still gathering parts. This will eventually be a trilogy with at least 8 figures and 4 beasts in addition to the diorama.

Just wait until you see the rest of this series, I promise you that my take on this mythos will be unlike anything EVER done with the franchise before! :)

Post by: Tamer on May 24, 2011, 05:29:40 PM: Sounds good to me.

that is a great back shot of that diorama too.
Title: Re: The Spectre's Dioramas
Post by: DanOfTheDead on May 25, 2011, 08:11:57 AM: HA! That's some GREAT use of random parts to make a cool tech detail.
Comm-tech chip, astromech legs, ROC backpacks! It really took me a minute to realize those were all individual pieces, I was going to ask what the whole piece was from. VERY cool.
Title: Re: The Spectre's Dioramas

Post by: Darth More on July 24, 2011, 12:11:19 PM: These accessories are just AWESOME!!! What a paint job - these parts would be so great for a Tatooine diorama...got to work on something like this ; )
Title: Re: Diorama Accessories Made From Junk Parts (Part The First)
Post by: flaccideagle on July 24, 2011, 11:03:55 PM: Wow, I just saw this post after finishing up trying **the exact same thing** with the launchers. AND I'm working on a tatooine dio. Yours look amazing. I gave up after an hour with the dremel but now I think I'm going to give it another shot tomorrow. Great work!!!!!!
Title: Re: The Spectre's Dioramas
Post by: DocOutlands on July 25, 2011, 07:30:37 AM: AWESOME!! I *knew* those things were good for something - glad someone figured out WHAT!

So, in the first pic, did you add some sort of cap to them?

Also, if you end up with an extra launcher from a Hypervelocity Iron Man (or its repaint), I'd be interested in obtaining it.
Title: Re: The Spectre's Dioramas
Post by: hangarbay94 on July 25, 2011, 12:49:48 PM: WOW! superb custom diorama fodder!
Title: Re: The Spectre's Dioramas

Title: Re: The Spectre's Dioramas
Post by: IMPURGE on July 25, 2011, 04:56:10 PM: nutz Spectre absolutely friggin' nutz never would thot about doing something like that. I figured keeping mine just for greeblies for vehicle, these are awesome great job.
Title: Re: The Spectre's Dioramas

Title: Re: The Spectre's Dioramas (Updated 8/1)
Post by: Luke Sprywalker on August 02, 2011, 07:46:59 AM: Spectre if ever you are going to throw away parets like this please offer it up to the community as I would gladly pay shipping to get fodder. I use this stuff all the time. They also look good added to vehicles. I love what you turned them into then with your paint skills they are just awesome! Great call and I am glad they didn't make it into the trash!

oh yea, I relly love the moisture vap. great job cobbling everything together! I just live for random things like this made from junk.
Title: Re: The Spectre's Dioramas (Updated 8/1)
Post by: flaccideagle on August 02, 2011, 08:03:38 AM: Again this is great stuff.

WOW... I really love these.
Title: Re: The Spectre's Dioramas (Updated 8/1)
Post by: Tamer on August 02, 2011, 10:40:16 AM: Wow, painted up they look even better. Back on the fp with them.

Post by: Tamer on August 18, 2011, 05:28:35 PM: That Watch Tower looks awesome. I can see one of the Yavin Moon Rebels in that Tower. Tiime to take this pic update to the front page.
Title: Re: The Spectre's Dioramas (Updated 8/18)
Post by: DocOutlands on August 18, 2011, 06:46:31 PM: Really really neat stuff! What did you use as the "cup" for the watchtower?

Thanks! :)

It's a removable turret from the Cobra Ringneck vehicle from the early 2000's. I have another one to make another tower in the future :)

Love the coloring on it. Look very used, and that is a good thing, even though it sounds weird typing it...LOL

Post by: Luke Sprywalker on August 19, 2011, 03:38:18 AM: Great work on all accounts! Each piece has a lot of character and works very well.
Title: Re: The Spectre's Dioramas (Updated 8/18)
Post by: JediMerc on August 19, 2011, 04:25:55 AM: Absolutely amazing use of imagination! These are spectacular!

I also have a ton of those missile launchers from figs over the years and have thought about the same exact thing you've done here, but I never actually did anything with them.

I love the paint technique that you use to make these look like they actually came from the SW movies as set pieces...are you willing to share some insights into your paint process? I know I'd love to be able to even come close to replicating this paint technique!
Title: Re: The Spectre's Dioramas (Updated 8/18)
Post by: IMPURGE on August 19, 2011, 08:35:01 AM: i just can't get over how you keep out doing yourself. I kept my springs loaders in hopes of using them for greeblies for a vehicle or something or if all else failed give them to my son just to shoot around the house. But this is genius the pieces fit right in to SW universe perfectly. Great job.
Title: Re: The Spectre's Dioramas (Updated 8/18)
Post by: Mr. Black on August 19, 2011, 11:53:23 AM: Those are awesome set pieces, excellent use of those fugly big weapons nobody wants. Now everyone wants them of course!

Thanks!

That's the sad part of making cool stuff, now if I want to make any more of them, no one will want to part with their launchers LOL

I still have about 2 dozen assorted ARAH and misc. launchers in the bag that I haven't figured out what I am doing with so I still have some for future use :)
Title: Re: The Spectre's Dioramas (Updated 8/18)
Post by: Darth Optimus on August 19, 2011, 07:28:28 PM: These things are just awesome! You've totally inspired me to dig thru my junk box and try to cobble something together! They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...so hopefully you'll see it that way if similar items show up here also. But not as nicely painted, tho. Your weathering style is really good.
Title: Re: The Spectre's Dioramas (Updated 8/18)
Post by: Psyclone on September 11, 2011, 08:08:05 AM: Excellent use of parts for the generators and great paint apps. I absolutely love the watchtower!
Title: Re: The Spectre's Dioramas (Updated 8/18)
Post by: narceron on October 22, 2011, 09:53:13 PM: I have always enjoyed your work, DK, and I'm starting to think its because of the methodology you use. Taking crap that you would normally toss, applying your style and perception of what it could be, assembling it to make stuff you actually want and your painstakingly detailed recoloring, it reminds me of the original star wars. This was back before george used a mac to create a verse and instead it was just a group of talented, passionate artists taking what they had and creating stuff right out of dreams or imagination.

You never disappoint, sir, and I am a big fan.

I might have some of those launchers for you, I sent a huge(huge) zip lock of them off in the last pass a box on ST6, :(

You have really poured some love into this display.The Chap Mai Pirate works perfectly for a statue and everything you have sculpted and painted makes this look phenominal. Cool thing is I have that Narnia broken table thing too.

Post by: JediMerc on September 23, 2012, 02:20:41 PM: My son just recently became interested in Indy and we've been watching all the movies lately. When I saw this, even though an original work, it brought back memories of the wonder I had as a kid watching these awesome adventures of Dr. Jones!

Phenomenal sculpt, build, and color palette choices. You've got a fan here, that's for sure!
Title: Re: The Spectre's Dioramas (Updated 7/1)
Post by: The Spectre on September 23, 2012, 03:27:50 PM: Thanks guys!

I do not have any painting tutorials prepared, but I have been asked a few times today about how the paintwork on this was done so I might have to whip something up (probably a video).

I think I like reading your stories almost as much as seeing your custom work. You really ought to create a diary type novel for this Adventure Team. I would love to read more stories! Kind of like a Raiders of the Lost Ark in Space dealing with all of our favorite genres.
Title: Re: The Spectre's Dioramas
Post by: Clonehead on October 27, 2013, 03:44:02 PM: Nice piece and write up, Dan! I really love that
Latest throne, though. The integration of the shields just make it shine for me.
With so many pieces, how long did that project take to assemble?

Do you mind telling us what materials did you used for this?
Title: Re: The Spectre's Dioramas
Post by: hangarbay94 on November 10, 2013, 07:33:29 PM: Spectre,

Bizarre and excellent is my reaction. This looks more like a sculpture than a diorama. Not the usual subject matter for this forum and a breath of fresh air. Great images too.

pieces from a high density foam wine display
pieces cut from a trio of "Van Helsing" castles
"Alien Vs Predator" base pieces

The Orcs outposts is just amazing you really hit this one out of the ball park mate.

Post by: The Spectre on July 20, 2017, 07:33:11 PM: I have finally added the last custom figure that needed to be photographed to "The Spectreverse", a Facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/Spectreverse/ ) devoted to my custom Universe's galleries!
There are still 11 custom vehicles that need to be photographed but I need to make a larger area to photograph them in, which I will do this weekend.

There are still several write-ups that need to be rewritten as they were lost to forum server changes over the years, but they will be redone in time. The stories are still in my head, I just need to type them all out again.

Please stop by, check out over 20 years worth of creations and please give the page a "Like" if you can.
