Not sure if these count as full-on dios, but here are some fun shots of my newest background.  The floor and rear wall are old baking sheets, and the assorted doo-dads are just things I've picked up along the way.

This is the kind of dio's I live for! I was admiring how perfectly weathered this dio is and you have made my day telling us it is simply old baking sheets! You sir are a trash to treasure visionary! Great eye for finding the perfect set up for these dirty little Jawas! I love this scene! So deserving of the front page treatment! Well done my friend!

Love the weathering and all the crates and barrels. The darker shots are really great. I need more Jawas!

Everyone...thanks for the comments!  I love the look of this set-up and I'll be using it for most of all my photos from now on.  I have soooo much background junk I can switch it up for different-yet-surprisingly-similar decos.

JediMindTrix...they are a mixture of soda bottle tops, syringes and caps, lil' plastic cups, the dispensing cup from laundry soap, some apparatus from a breathing machine and an awesome scale "wooden pallet" I picked up @ work.  Some company sent a few to us with post-its attached.

Here are some more pics with the set-up switched, some of them are repeats with me playing with the lighting.  Need more work on the darker shots, and a steadier hand, LOL.  I'd kill a Jawa for one of them articulated/bendy tripods!

Spookymufu - LOL!  I know, right?  These are two I found out in the garage.  Almost got trashed, but then the lightbulb went off & I thought they'd make good deck plating.

WIP of a Tankster-inspired diorama.  I perused his awesome "how-to" in the Resources and Reference subsection.  Looked both awesome and easy, which are two things I like together almost as much as peanut butter & chocolate.  Anyhow, my son and I banged out one as a prototype.  As always, Trooper Earl showed up for scale purposes.  Hi, Earl!






The dio is dual-sided for an "urban" environment with a paved floor and a "not-so-much urban" environment with rocks 'n' grass 'n' stuff.  The middle is modular for even more choices.  Thanks for tuning in!
