Well it has been a while since I have done any diorama work. The last project was a fairly big one and I have started on a little dio that is not SW but should be pretty "cool" none the less. My wife collects these Leftin Christmas Village pieces, little ceramic houses that light up . Now she has seen me make so many things over the years she says " why don't you make me  a snow covered village diorama? You can make everything else so I want a diorama to display my houses on the mantle." My first thought was this could be great practice to follow up with a Hoth dio! So I had her set up the houses like she wanted to display them and did a quick drawing of my idea. She loved it and said please press on! I said I am not helping you with those fake nails! haha but seriously she liked it so I went out to the shop and grabbed a few sheets of styrofoam. By the end of the night I had the ideas roughed out and my basic elevations set. Here are a few WIP pics of what will be one of my biggest projects.

I'm sure this will turn out well. You tell us that this is practice for your Hoth dio but you have to tell her that all that playing around you do was just practice for this one  ;)

A word of warning, Leftin Christmas Village houses are HAUNTED!!!!

We had one and the cat freaked when my wife put it on display (hissed at it and totally freaked), after that all the electrical appliances in the room began to fail..I threw it out and it managed to fall out of the rubbish bin when the bin men came, so when I returned home it was sitting on our drive....

I'm usually not one who believes in ghosts , but this thing freaked me out....

Thanks for the great comments guys. Jules that story is too much! That is kind of scary! Luckily we have not had any haunting situations with ours...yet. I have now drawn some rocks on the train tunnels and etched them in with a wood burner. It is trickt trying to keep the lines thin, I plug it in for about 20 seconds then unplug and etch while it is not too hot.I will get a few more WIP pics later today.

Thanks Jay. I have been working hard at this each evening arfter work. First I drew the rock shapes I wanted with a sharpie then etched them with a wood burner.  I have also done some more carving to make snow drifts and coated some of it with wood glue.  In the pics below the yellow pieces are the ones with glue setting up. Now, there is an "easter egg" in the picture. Can you find a Star Wars set piece in these photos?
