Thought I'd disappeared eh? It's been nothing but 3-D printer woes for me since October. Finally have it straightened out and am "back on target." I finished up the Bespin Gantry mini-playset. It includes an extension of the catwalk. All fits together snuggly except for the antenna thing that Luke hangs on to - 3 parts, which I'll have to superglue together until I devise better fitting parts. Some day I hope to completely re-do the big Bespin playset, all 3-D printed - and this will merge into the larger playset.

I've also closed up the diorama parts shop for now. As unreliable as this printer is and as much time as selling parts has taken away from my own creative engineering, I just can't justify the sales right now. Anytime I take money from someone customer service is my top priority - and I don't like people having to wait long stretches of time for me to figure out how to fix my printer when it goes down.  I'm still trying to explore options to get some of this stuff out in ya'll's hands. May possibly auction off some pieces, and do some kind of charity donation with the proceeds. And at some point maybe I can look into a second printer dedicated to just sales parts.

Glad to hear that you got the 3D printer fixed and the gantry is awesome.

I can't order one of those gantries? Sniff, sniff! Say it ain't so!

All depression aside because your store is now down, I can't fault the reasons. I love this new Bespin PS. Off to share and I sure hope perhaps in the future we can get this store open again.

I've been eagerly awaiting your progress on this particular piece for some time and you did not disappoint!  This has got to be my favorite playset piece you've produced---and ALL your stuff has been awesome. 

I love watching you create these sets (and I'd be a definite "buy" if/when you ever decide to produce this gantry piece for sale/auction).  Looking forward to more in the future!

Thanks for the great comments about the gantry!

Yesterday and today I finally finished up this next one - the Imperial Medical Chamber. More info and pictures on the FB page.

These diorama pieces look really great! I especially like the medical center base-plate. So sorry that you are having 3D printer woes.

Epic simply Epic. Chairs have always been my bugaboo.
There always time consuming and small parts and sharp tools can be down right dangerous.
Got scars to prove it.  :(

Thanks as always for the great comments! And yes, small parts sure can be hard to work with - especially with a knife involved!

Printer is now fixed up and back online yet again. Crossing my fingers it won't die if I look at it wrong. =)

Over the holidays I decided to put my house on the market - hopefully this spring. I've started the long, long process of packing up the collection. I certainly will have to find a new home with a room big enough to house whatever playsets I make in the future. Since it will be very difficult to create much new stuff without my figures for reference, I'm hoping I might be able to print some sales pieces during this stretch. We'll see how things go.

So, I've decided to put my focus onto just one playset until my house goes on the market: the third incarnation of my Hoth playset, complete with Ion Cannon. I'm really excited to see what the interiors of the Rebel Base will look like 3-D printed. In fact, I've already got some floor pieces done. So what will become of my current Hoth 2.0 playset? More details to be revealed soon.
