Great job! Can't wait to see more. What did you use for the generator?

Thank you kindly darthwalls ! The generator is simply a sturdy paper plate while the lid on top is simply a peanut can lid lol . Spray painted in a gun metal gray .

Wow, MJ1977
This is such a beautiful display piece.
You actually need to put together a 20 page thread to explain how you made all the individual parts.  For instance, how did you make the skeletons.

Thank you Sjefke ! I will do my best to answer starting with your first question the skeletons were purchased from Boss fight studios part of their series 1 H.A.C.K.S set which i highly recommend if your looking for skeleton bodies.  The articulation is incredible .  The gray pipes on the side of the Hutt i made using super sculpy ,  the barrels and baskets i got real lucky i found these in an arts and crafts store in  the doll house section . I just happened to walk past it on accident while getting another can of spray paint.  the boxes i had already from old figures accessories  as well as the debris. The pipes i just made from wires and  plastic hoses.  The last few pieces i got creative and used a R5 head and mounted it on a base the same for the fx-7 head i used . The last one was from the very hard to get security droid that came with the jawa . i just removed the base.  If you read the other posts the generator is simply a sturdy paper plate and on top a lid from a peanut can . That's really it . I am now presently working on the smoke effects for the generator . And trying to find the right material to use the cotton i am using is not working as well as i thought . any suggestions i would love to hear !  thanks again

  Awesome dio! I meant to mention earlier, but the structures props and landscape look really  great. I like the scene you did, when the empire arrives at the homestead, i always wondered what that would have been like.
