Hope you're doing well!
See you next time here. Looking forward to reading your next comments and to watching your new reviews...

Nice work.  I see you used Battlefront II as a base for your dio.  Nice idea.  Still can't wait to see how this bubbles over. bbfet

...so here we are, finally. But what I was afraid of most was that you would lose the interest in this diorama which was a big piece of hard work so far and it is still unfinished and it still will take some time to finish it that way I thought of before...I had wanted to upload the very first steps of building this dio first and then wanted to raise the suspense from picture to picture...
Finally I'll give you some pics of it's current state because you gave me lots of requests for doing this. I have to say that there are not many pictures of it on the forum, yet and but anyway: The diorama of Mos Eisley is on the front page today....Please keep enjoying the development of completing this little village.

Before I had finished all window flaps, I already tried to bring some life to this part of Mos Eisley:







Fortunatley I found some loose metal parts on a jumble sale for a couple bucks. Many thanks to Steve (SithLord229) for sharing his great model, which really inspired me...I was of the opinion that those metal parts are quite hard to find if you want to get some suitable parts for your diorama instead of some normal bolts or hex nuts...So thank you, Steve!
Your dio looks so awesome with all the datails...

The next big problem still is to create all the furniture for all buildings...and the thing that's worst is that there are hardly examples in the original  movies...and I can say that I took millions of photos of every single scene taking place on Tatooine of episodes I, II, IV and V...but the few furniture you see is very difficult to re-construct. So I would be VERY pleased if you could help me by giving me some examples of Tatooines's tables, chairs, beds, accessories ... Thank You very much!

Darth Orvan and I already have built some of the mentioned items, but we need LOTS more...

Shab, this is majorly cool.
Maybe there is a chance that we can do a small German/Austrian Shipyards meeting at JediCon. Let's see if I can squeeze the Con into my schedule...

Man that is a big dio great looking can't wait to see the finished product. Thank you for the figures so we can see the scale of the dio. I just have to say we have a lot of talented people in our forums between custom figs and the dios I think we have the best of the best.
