Hi All,

I finally got the weathering done and got my usual outdoor pics done so enjoy guys.

Recipe

Trooper - is from Bandai and has been built straight out of the box. For the back pack I used plastic card and the tube is from a Madelman scuba diver and the bracket and the front breathing apparatus is plastic card.

Base - is two Bandai Stormtrooper stands glued together then plastic card strips glued around the sides. The stone has been made using high density foam which I broke nad cut up till I got the desired look.

Once I got the look I wanted I then made cracks using a led pencil and model knife, I then used a piece of sand stone and pushed it into the foam to give it a more stone texture to it.

The lava was done by using Woodland Scenics Water effects and once dry I painted it black and let it dry. Once dry I painted the lava with different shades of reds, yellows and orange and once dry gave it several washes of blood red and then let that dry and then gave it a few layers of Woodland Scenics Realistic water.

This turned out great! The idea for the stone work is very clever as is everything else.

Hi All,

This dio is for a client and all I have to do now is adjust the lighting and its complete.

The base is a picture frame with built up balsa wood, the rocks I made from left over pieces of high density foam.  The lava I did by painting the top and bottom of the glass and then added Woodland scenics Water effects and once dry I painted over that. Once dry I painted over the water effects.

The x-wing pilot is the Luke figure from Hasbro and I added a holster from the Bespin Luke and repainted him and added decals to the helmet and repainted it as well.

The lights are fake candle lights which I need to adjust around the base to get a better effect.

Wow! Everything about that is awesome. From the pilot to the lights in the lava. I had thought about doing that with a mustafar figure base. Way cool.

Thanks mate and glad you liked it and hopefully you will take a crack at the mustafar dio that would be cool to see.

Another awesome dio Ron. ! So i have a question your dio's are pretty decent sized where do you keep all of them ? I  imagine they must be consuming a lot of space .

Cheers buddy and I don' have a lot of dios/displays left as I have sold a lot but if I did still have them they would take up a lot of space.
