Thanks so much guys! Glad you're liking it! And thanks Tamer for FPing my pic! I think it's a fitting image for the contest... you should see my trash to treasure ratio--waaaaaay more trash all over the kitchen haha. Lots of clean up to do today! I finished the diorama today and have tons of photos. Painted everything in full detail, weathered and stained the walls and floors, added rust to various bits and even through in a nice cut-metal looking Imperial Cog! Photos are coming as fast as I can upload them to flickr!

Well, I find I'm accumulating a lot of trash.  Actually, I'm surrounding myself with it.  Now I just need to find some treasure.

Haha Dark! I too still have trash left over--come to think of it making that dio seemed to create more mess than it cleaned up. Took me an hour to get the kitchen put back together. I think that's the sign of a successful custom!
