Richard Whipple and crew win first place at JOE Con 2013!
« on: April 07, 2013, 04:11:04 PM »
I think most folks were aware that Richard (we mostly know his as Ratfink Customs) was involved in a Steampunk Joes Diorama that also included work from our very own Luke Sprywalker and Lucasclones not to mention Tankster (Daniel). I am so proud to report that Richard placed first in the Medium Diorama Category. I have been getting most of my intel through Facebook this afternoon, but I couldn't be more prouder of our customizing crew and ISYers at large.



Please see the link below to see the full details:

Here are some of the Diorama:

I told Richard I thought it would be cool to see something like this done in the SW Realm, he said be careful what you wish for!

I just noticed today but for those who didn't they used the back of a vintage AT-AT and cut into three pieces for the buildings
