Looks like I missed a lot of foliage action since I left my last comment. That pillar diorama has become my favorite mini diorama of yours of 2021.

And obviously 2022 is off for a great start with a Star Wars dio! That Imperial ground base gotta be one of my all-time favorites. Can't wait how it turns out. And while I'm typing this, you're probably about to finish the last coat of paint already!

Ha ha ha I wish because I have a 3 story building to do for a client also!  I started this project because I fell into the trap of buying not only Vintage Slave 1 (Sorry if you are from Disney, I mean Boba Fetts ship  ;D) and the vintage troop carrier which meant I am running out of space to display these fine vehicles so when you run out of room on shelves, you build up!

Thank you for your response with my Temple Ruin, which also reminds me I must do my final pictures of it!

Well, Dash is up to some shenanigans :) I like the layout of this display diorama. I think it will be really cool when its finished and look forward to the progress.

Yes...yes it is. I was thinking of Katarn in my head, but Dash is what came out of my fingers. My bad  :P.

WIP update. I started first shaping the rectangular floor, cutting out a section on the side which can be either an E-Web gun emplacement or a vintage mini rug landing platform. The larger overhang will be a landing platform for a mid-size ship like the Phantom, fighter, etc, while the front will be a walkway with consoles. Under the overhang, I have constructed a doorway for a troop transport park.

My next steps are to make the entrance under the walkway for the front/rear of the transport bay before marking the foam with tiles.

That looks really good. I like the troop transport idea a lot.

WIP update, yesterday I had a little time between finishing the day job and starting family duties so I finished making the front entrance of the transport bay before cutting out a piece of 40 mm foam for the landing platform. This piece will now need to be cut down so it's not just a square slab and add braces coming from the towers to hold it in place, but that needs to be done after I have added detail to the foam.

The next step is to shape the platform and then I can start detailing this model before adding barriers and braces.

A small WIP update. I cut down the landing platform to a more suitable size that still fits Slave 1 and the Falcon. I then added a small layer of foam board to the side platform to strengthen it. Once I have added the detail I will then be adding a couple of supports.

My next step is to start detailing.
