Commander Kurgan's Construction Site
« on: September 04, 2009, 12:44:20 PM »
Hi there!
When my son Sean saw the dios you guys are doing, especially Jules' work and recent youtube video, he wanted one, BAD!
Thanks, Jules, for sharing your dio picture files with us.
I printed the various pictures, cut them out with a scalpel and spray-glued them onto cardboard.

The photos show the half-finished diorama of a star fortress, battleship interior, Arca Barracks, wherever the imagination of a child (or old Star Wars geek) makes the adventure happen.
I will add side pieces (Sean wants a slide door, too) and hinge it so it can be folded up and stored flat under the bed when mum so commands.

The construction site (figures are randomly picked):

I'll be posting more decals very soon, so your son should have more exciting stuff to play with.

Sean surely does.
He played with it all day long says my wife and they left it in the living-room for me to see.

Wow, frontpage with this diorama...I'm honoured.

My son and I did the same thing, but on a much smaller scale =) Great idea and great work on it!

Why go through life base fig, when you can customize?

I made another, this time smaller, dio tonight.
Some type of control room or passageway with a blast door, ideal for an assault team or photo posing.

Heroic shot starring Commander Cody:

Thanks people.
I cut a bunch of decals out during my lunch break today and sprayglued some of them to the cardboard tonight so it took me roughly an hour to put this little display together.
It was just meant to give me a variety of background options to photograph my figures against.
Something tells me that it will end up with my son as a playset very quickly, though.

I will make the next diorama with decals on foamcore to make the whole setup a little more durable.

Yea, that is really cool! A great interpretation and use of the decals, you've rteally made them into your own unique environment.

The images look very ominous, you can almost feel the tension in the atmosphere.

Wonderful!
