That is amazing! All those additional parts really make this look authentic, and what a good eye you have for finding the bits you need. You should be proud of this build.
Thank you! You wouldn't believe the amount of Model kit parts I have. For a while I would just buy up incomplete kits just for parts to build stuff like this. I've been able to pick through some of the parts that I think are cool looking and put them in a box. I take mental inventory of what I have in case a part would work best for whatever I'm making. Sometimes I just put parts together and if they fit that's what I use.

Wow, talk about kicking things up a notch. This looks awesome! Man, just great work.

Thank you! I now have an idea of the basic architecture of the Spaceport. It'll be reminiscent of WW2 bunkers. The idea behind Galgrebaa is it's a system of ancient fortifications that have been modernized retrofitted and repurposed into a modern Spaceport.

Thank you! I'll tell you the woodland Scenics watercolors are fool-proof. When I applied the watercolors on this new type of spackle, it reactivated it and it became soft. But it all dried up just like it was supposed to. Of course you want to dab instead of brush, had I brushed it would have been a disaster.

Time for the Weekly Update! I decided to use Ugnaughts for my droidsmiths. I thought about making a special custom figure, but Ugnaughts kept coming back to me. I made the crane mech and Droid leg holder that hangs from the ceiling. I added a few signs and Droid parts. I finished the table, glued the protocol Droid skeleton and parts, so they don't fall off. That about does it for the interior.

Next week will be the start of the exterior of the building.

Excellent work on making this feel *alive.* The small details are always what make a diorama for me. Keep it up! Would love to see in progress shots.

Thank you. There aren't many WIP shots.  It's all about the lighting. With this interior I was able to create basically a light box, with 5 sides closed and a single LED droplight. Also with the super matte paint there is no glare or reflections.  Most of these guys that do figure photography, they have really good lighting. It makes a huge difference. For the exterior I'll take more WIPs, same concept except they will be outside corners which is easier.

Thank you! I just have to make a removable facade for the building.

Thank you! I imagine Ugnaughts make good mechanics, and technicians. Although not so great for reprogramming.

Thank you! The Ugnaughts work great I think, because the overhead lighting casts shadows on their wrinkles and folds, making the figure pop.

JDeck, I really like the crane - what an excellent detail. I think the Ugnaughts totally make sense (plus you can always add a special custom figure to the team at a later time!). This is looking so exellent. Keep up the good work.
