My son was tired of some of his favorite modern figures sitting on a plain shelf, so we decided to make some small 8"x4" dio displays for him. I did not want to get too extravagent, so each took about a day to complete. These small dios are a great way to get your kids involved in creating dios. This particular plaster is very user friendly for sculpting.
Since we wanted to keep it simple, we had to have simple supplies: papertowel roll, 8"x4" foam for base, blocks of foam, Lightweight plaster, bandages, paint, printed cardboard backdrops, etc...
We started with the easiest: His Tusken Raiders on Tatooine. The backdrops are easily swapped out if he wants a change of scenery. They are held in place by modified paperclips.
Next we tackled some of his Hoth figures. I don't know if you can see them on the rear rock, but the icesicles are made of stretched hot glue.
We are both big fans of Battlefront video game, so we decided on a Mygeeto complete with a command post and barrier. The command post is made so a light can be added for effect. (I will install a small LED light to the base later, for now, I want to keep it simple.)
One of my son's favorite places on Battlefront is Geonosis
Now it was time for one of my favorite places - Dagobah
And finally we made a scene for his Ewoks. (Jessica just had to have Nippet in the last photo...ugh!)
