Thank you! Spectre a few years ago posted the walmart boxes. It stuck in my mind, until I needed them, then just made them more like shipping crates.

I painted the interior of the Bodega. I just used a combination of woodglue and watercolor paint. Then painted the shelves black. Then I popped up a few floor tiles, because every bodega has popped up floor tiles. Also I got enough Wacky packages to pretty much cover the shelves. Theres about 50 different ones. I over ordered, and have about 50 more coming lol.

Remember Chet from wierd science? Well when Kelly LeBrock turned him into slimer? That was a great 80s movie.

Nice Bodega update. So on the front pages.

Nice! I really love the signage! Good stuff!

[Clonehead]

Sweet that you got ole Chet in there!
Your paintwork on the shelves and the walls gives something for those wacky packages to pop off of, with their bright colors and sharp angles.
Looks great

  The figure is made by Super7/reaction, came out sometime last year.

Thank you Tamer. Yup I'm going to have to make another Bodega, but first I have another shop I need to make.

Thank you! The decals are from Bad Mother Customs. Cool thing is, his ink is translucent, so it makes for good lighted signs.

Thank you! Who better to sell gross food than a gross dude.

Looks really good! I'd shop there - except not when Chet was sitting in the doorway. I think this is great addition to the spaceport and adds exactly the color that is needed to feel "real."

I think you picked the perfect figure to represent the vendor of this store. And I think Lucasfilm could highlight food and the eating culture in STAR WARS a bit more - not only to sell more cooking books of course. They did in TPM, AOTC, ANH and ESB a little bit, but even more in The Mandalorian with all the different (and partly still living) dishes for little Grogru. Love the Coke emblem and the material you chose for the backdrop! Awesome update, JD!


Add: Just checked back on page 8 and saw the side wall of the building! Wow, the gum boxes look really great all painted up hanging on the wall. Thank you so much for providing this idea. You did a phenomenal job painting and "decorating" your Spaceport!

Thank you. I dunno man I wouldn't buy any of those products. Lol.

Thank you. Yeah there's not much food in Star Wars. I liked the blue bisquick biscuit thing rey had. That seems like some processed space rations.

I made a crate handler droid. It's designed to carry the crates I made out of those walmart containers. It's made entirely out of Dollar Tree items, except for the middle tube, that is from the paper roll for my handheld work printer. The base is from a toy tank. The arms are made from spray bottle and firetruck parts. The cylinders are made from pump bottles with hair curler grate things on them. The back engine booster is from a toy cement mixer. I painted and decaled, then added the light fixtures. The two on top are from the firetruck, and the three on back are mini travel lightbrite pegs.  So this project cost about 8 dollars, and I still have parts left over.

Man, this is awesome. You have one of the most creative minds I have ever seen. So cool.

Off to share on the front pages.

[Wreckage]

That is amazing. Thank you for the unpainted pic, I'll definitely hit DT looking for some of those parts.

Thank you Tamer, that's quite a compliment. I've been wanting to make some kind of a crane or machine to move crates around. I wanted to use the Neca Aliens power loader, but it's $100 and I'm not sure how it could handle the crates. So I went to dollar tee knowing what I wanted to   build. I was building it, and I thought it looked like a crab, which works because a crab moves side to side, back and forth, like this thing would moving crates around.

That is amazing. Thank you for the unpainted pic, I'll definitely hit DT looking for some of those parts.

Thank you! The Dollar Tree I went to was like a super DT compared to others. I spent $21, bought a bunch of stuff. They even had exacto blades and cutting mats.
