It is really looking spectacular,   I love the plaster work and the use of the VHS tray is ingenious,  I love looking for "odd fodder" to me that is alot of fun, turning nothing into something,   Your transport is really cool and will have me thinking the next time I hit some rummage sales this summer.

Hats off to you, Sprywalker.   As a fellow  rebel pilot collector, this dio is awesome!!  I love the entire scene, and that Gamorrean pilot is too cool!  Great work all the way around.   I have seen the Gam. pilot on wookiepedia and often thought how to pull that off.   Did you use a Jek Porkins body for him?
Again, fine, fine work. . . . to be remembered in the Jedi Archives.

No doubt Sarge, trash to treasure is the name of the game and I love it!

CD glad you are enjoying the progress shots. Yes I do have most all Rebel Pilots plus I have made a few from Rogue Squadron like Piggy you noticed. I want to remove his guard helmet and mod Nirin's helmet to fit Piggy. Yes that is Porkins body for him.


As much as I liked the transport I knew it was missing something as Clint pointed out. I went with just a few yellow markings as I don't want it to get too wild looking. While painting I noticed the front lower piece peeling away, it was protective selafane  that had never been removed from when these drawers were new. I pulled it off and revealed a nice shiny silver piece that looked pretty cool as is. So I then dry brished a little silver on the front vent area then the steering vanes in the back. I thought about painting more of the rear platform yellow but decided to hold off and get some feedback on the latest changes first.  Oh yea, you can't see it very clear in the pics but I cut off the tips of 2 green and 2 yellow lightsabers to simulate lights in the holes by the steering vanes. So what do you guys think now?








and here is what the dio is looking like today...

LS, I love the diorama you've crafted, especially the textured rocks. It's been a while since I've made a dio and seeing your images has given me the urge...

Thanks Jules, and go for it man!

Small update to the dio. This is a mechanic I made for the dio and his work area. He has a several droids to help him get everything done. He has also created a droid of his own design for cutting metal, welding and many other tasks. Also a small examining table with power lift and diagnostic equipment built in. More to come soon, let me know what you think so far.
