...was thinking about dressing up the TP roll as a pillar or something so it didn't look like a TP roll but I agree with the mini-dio idea
Love the idea! So simple, but so cool! A printout wrapped around the TP roll would probably work perfectly.
I'm probably too old to be doing this, but I don't care. They're toys, they're meant to be played with!!

I work in darkness so that I can control the light.

Finger & Toe Models has a paper-model set called "Refinery" that has several round storage-tank textures that I bet would work well to turn the tp-tube into something new.

Some Goodwill find total price $2 just the display/playset pieces...figures and vehicles sold separately
Put together

Aquarium piece with cave

Otherside

Full shot of Imps looking for native life

Some molded details might need moving like these chests..window to cave in background

A ramp for dropping boulders from tree tops in back ground. Going to remove pond sticker and fill with model scenics rocks and water

Hiding from imperials

Fun with the vine swing

A tree stump to hide figures or use as a trap catapult

Left side a cave or hut with windows, a net to climb a platfrom and a straight climbing branch or vine?

Back...jail or animal pen stone steps climbing, steps on tree...need to remove gnome or knight detailed next to steps

right side mainly a platform and another climbing branch/vine?

Top...how do you make wooden platforms on leaves? Not to mention the wooden slide for rocks

This thing is Playskool and has tons of Robin Hood references molded into it that some need removing others can stay and be highlighted and the rest a pretty well camouflaged

That display will look awesome once it's painted.

About a month ago I found a Darth Malgus at my local Target and since then I been on a SWTOR craze I got two figures I'm working on and the walker I decided it would be from that era as a cargo transport. So inline with that I mad him a generic "can be anywere in the galaxy" display. Nothing fancy here but its cool to me.

its actually a masterpiece skywarp base but same base is used for all the masterpiece seekers i believe.
@Tamer i thought about making castings of it last night but not skilled enough for the post

Well its awesome. Maybe its better to be a one of a kind creation anyhow.

Thought about trying to light up that little red light at the top of the vertical post? That would be cool.

I have but I never soldered before plus I didn't have a drill bit long enough and thin enough to go thrue the post. BTW the post is a CW rocket launcher type weapon.
On the base it could be casted for those who want to use this idea but decorate it for their own unique customs

I really like this. I could see it easily modded with walls attached to look like a Walker Floor and Side too similar to the mini-dio Hemble made for the Heavy Door Gunner.
