I think the Outrider is one of the most over looked of the SW vehicles.   I'm VERY eager to see what comes of this.    ;D :D :)

Not a diorama but a nice space saver idea for putting up to 8 or maybe a couple more figures on the shelf or you could add another toilet paper roll on top and have it for keeping paint organized and the top roll could hold brushes.....Made from toilet paper roll and an old recordable cd pack

What a great idea! I had to get that on the front page.

Would I could see a whole series of stackable mini-dioramas made using this concept.

Thnks guys I was thinking about dressing up the TP roll as a pillar or something so it didn't look like a TP roll but I agree with the mini-dio idea

Love the idea! So simple, but so cool! A printout wrapped around the TP roll would probably work perfectly.

Finger & Toe Models has a paper-model set called "Refinery" that has several round storage-tank textures that I bet would work well to turn the tp-tube into something new.

About a month ago I found a Darth Malgus at my local Target and since then I been on a SWTOR craze I got two figures I'm working on and the walker I decided it would be from that era as a cargo transport. So inline with that I mad him a generic "can be anywere in the galaxy" display. Nothing fancy here but its cool to me.

On the front page.

its actually a masterpiece skywarp base but same base is used for all the masterpiece seekers i believe.
@Tamer i thought about making castings of it last night but not skilled enough for the post
Title: Re: Custom display

Well its awesome. Maybe its better to be a one of a kind creation anyhow.

Thought about trying to light up that little red light at the top of the vertical post? That would be cool.

I have but I never soldered before plus I didn't have a drill bit long enough and thin enough to go thrue the post. BTW the post is a CW rocket launcher type weapon.
On the base it could be casted for those who want to use this idea but decorate it for their own unique customs
Title: Re: Custom display
Post by: Tamer on May 22, 2013, 08:50:20 AM
I really like this. I could see it easily modded with walls attached to look like a Walker Floor and Side too similar to the mini-dio Hemble made for the Heavy Door Gunner.
Title: Re: Custom display
Post by: krztfr on May 22, 2013, 02:27:22 PM
I think i actually got like around 4 more of these cuz I picked up about 5 of the Masterpiece Skywarp from Walmart a few years back when it was clearanced for like $15 each, might play with them to see how they look next to each other or used as walls

That base is fantastic it really compliments the figure well done indeed.

In anticipation of waiting for the Red Rocket Truckstop to be done I made an addition that can be picked up and moved anywhere to replicate the settlement creation mode of the game.

Made of corrugated cardboard, "craft sticks" popsicle sticks, coffee stirrers, and a piece of Balsa wood, and wire.
