Here is a video link to our diorama room which is the boys room and you will see the Endor Platform light up and the Death Star Diorama If you need any closer look at things. I will do a video or a picture of what you like to see.

Jtrooper, those are the finest playsets I've ever seen, PERIOD!

You have added so many playable features I just love what you have done. The lighting is another amazing addition.

I do have on minor observaion, and it's not a nitpick, rather an idea for you to consider. On your death star you've got wide floor levels, why not buy some Polistyrene sheet and use epoxy resin to glue the panels on, you can then paint the panels to match the rest of the playset (I bought a pack of epoxy with fairly large bottles that have lasted me ages).

Your videos are great, your Boy's room is just amzing. Gosh, can you imagine having a room like that back in 77?

I also have to ask, what are you using as the frame structures on each corner of the Platform and as detailing around the Gantrys?

To me you are not a customiser but a Model/Toy maker, you should have your own catagory as you are really standing out from the crowd. Your contribution to the forums is amazing and so much appreciated, you are putting me to shame right now, but in the best possible way!

As a thank you I'm going to design you your own Banner to add to your furum profile...

I would love a bitter custody dispute with large bouts of guilt and then I could spend half my weekends here and there and get both of you to keep mass producing this stuff. Daggone what I wouldn't give to have half the creative ability I see outta you two and the other folks here.

Jules,

I wish I could spend some money on this and buy styren for the DS . I'm unemployed right now. I wish I could make more dioramas for everyone that way. But, I'm trying toshow Hasbro that you don't really need that expensive stuff for the 7 to adults that Foam core or other materials that are stronger can sustain the playset wanting from the consumer aspect.

Thank you for the comments.

Those are some lucky children,   Very cool playsets really don't sum it up.   Even at my age I am envious I don't have that in my playroom.

Jtrooper, your home made playsets/dioramas are incredible. I want one of those in my room. If I had a set up like that, I could get lost for days in there. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
