Rodger, I just picked up my jaw and put it back into place, but it just dropped again...I gues I'll leave it there for now. I grew up with TPM and the other Prequels. And from what I've seen so far dioramas of the Preqeuls are definitely more rarely seen (and made?). I try to find the right words for your masterpieces.

Boonta Eve Classic

When I saw the first pics of it on my cell phone this morning I thought it was a diorama in a diorama in the first moment, until I saw the 3 3/4" figures in it. For some reason it looked like one of these 1/18 scale "the making of" dioramas as seen from MAXX Replicas or hemble recently.
Are the two lights on the upper right a hint at the two suns Tatoo I and II?

Anakin's Revenge/Tusken Camp

I've seen a couple artists depict this scene so far and they always looked phenomenal. But you are the first one to add the night sky of Tattoine in the background! This actually made me loose my jaw, again. I mean look at these stars! The lighting is just...WOW!


Cantina Lightbox

This is just an excellent idea! I like the format you used for the box! The wide front makes it not only a nice display piece, but also easy to access for young fans to play with this excellent playset! The lighting looks so nice, warm and even inviting to this shady place...
The paint apps on the outside are spot on and man, do I love these lighted archs!

The fact that all this made with solid and high quality wood is most impressive to me! You are not only a true artist, but also an amazing toy maker of quality toys as known from back in the days.

One can see that you put so much effort into each of your projects! These will be three of the highlights on Celebration Chicago! The height of all three is also perfect for such an event!

By the way have you heard of Vincent Agatha? He will be there with his complete Cantina, too:

Maybe you can get in touch and have a beer togehter there.

Thanks for sharing these amazing dioramas, Rodger! They brought back good childhood memories

Yep. The Twin Suns and the Three Moons on top of Anakins Revenge.

The secret to Stars... Laundry Detergent. Yep that is what there made of.

Only the application is in. I don't know anything for sure.

Yes I have seen his work. So he's in already? Must be nice having insiders. I'm just hoping for an opportunity
