Topic: Hemble's Dio's - Han Solo in Stormtrooper Disguise WIP 6" P63 07/07/15

Hemble,

Not only is the diorama technically excellent, but the subject matter seems to reflect present day events. There are so many interesting angles on the subject matter from an artistic perspective that this piece of work goes beyond being just a cool diorama.

Hey - what's with humanizing the Stormies???  They are supposed to be the faceless dehumanized enemy!  Great work, man... great work.

[Tamer]

I wonder how Mr. Hembling is doing. I have no doubt he will be glad to get back home when his tour is up. Our thoughts are with you if you happen to get an internet chance Ron!

Hey! Good to hear from you Ron.

I actually made some new display shelving and of course moved that great gunner you made me to be the highlight of it all. I still am tickled I got that off of you and thank you again. Good to hear you are doing ok and getting some rest and relaxation. Gonna have to podcast with you again when things calm down as we can now do your audio so much more justice than we did last time.

Good to hear your customizing too. Can't wait to see the new pictures.

[Luke Sprywalker]

Hello Ron, great to hear from you! Glad all is well and really coool that you have been able to do some customizing! Can't wait to see these latest creations!

[hemble]

Hi All

Tamer - I'm still stoked that you like the AT-AT Gunner/dio mate I totally love it when guys/gals like yourself get a custom from me and they enjoy them like you do. You'll have to post pics of your new shelving with all youe SW stuff.

I'll be more then happy to do another podcast I ahd a ball on the last one. We do get busy but we also have alot of down time as well that's why I decided to do some customs while I'm here, teh only problem we do have is that the internet isn't that great so when it does have great speeds we jump at the chance to get on.

Spry - I must admit I was getting the shakes not doing any custom figures or dios but when the down time started I jumped at the chance to get materials sent over and also buy stuff from amazon. I jsut took some pics of the two SW dios I have completed over the last few weeks so I'll get them up very soon.

Ron!  Great to hear you are doing well!  Be sure and take lots of reference pics of the real-world around you and then share them with us.    (My collection is lacking pics of Aussie stuff - I get all the Euro stuff I can handle, but little to no Aussie or Asian references)

Can't wait to see what new beauties you've come up with!

[hemble]

Hi All

Doc - Cheers mate and pics are no problem let me know exactly what you are after and I'll see what I can do for you.

Hi All

Well as promised here is the first dio I did while in wonderful Kandahar and sorry if the pics are a liitle off I took them inside, even thou it is sunny here the dust is everywhere.

This one is just some sandtroopers doing a patrol over some rocky terrian.

Sandtroopers - Are from Hasbro and as usual put in a pose I like then the joints are superglued together then puttied up.

Base - The base is an old 1/6 indy stand and the rocks are from the tonnes of rocks we have around here on camp, I picked out what I liked then gave them a good wasg to get rid of the dust and then repinted them the reddish/brown colour as they were a dark grey. The sand is from our volleyball court and was glued in place and then painted the desired colour.

The little shrubs are from a company called Army Painter they come in a small container and are stuck to a thin plastic type film and you just take off what you want and adhere it to the area's you want. I painted, weathered and dry brushed the dio and figures using Vallejo and GW paints.

Hi All

Hi All

Here is the second dio I did and again sorry if the pics a a liite grainy these were taken inside, but I'll be home for R and R so I'll take my usual out door pics when I get home.

This one is just some stormtroopers doing a patrol in a jungle type terrian.

Stormtroopers - Are from Hasbro and as usual put in a pose I like then the joints are superglued together then puttied up.

Base - The base is an old 1/6 indy stand and the rocks are from the tonnes of rocks we have around here on camp, I picked out what I liked then gave them a good wash to get rid of the dust and then repinted them the reddish/brown colour as they were a dark grey.

The grass is from Army Painter and once dried it was repainted and weathered to give it a darker colour.  The little shrubs and vines are also from a Army Painter they come in a small container and are stuck to a thin plastic type film and you just take off what you want and adhere it to the area's you want.

The water is a mixer of dark green paint and woodglue and once dry a coat of woodglue was applied over the top to give it that glossy look. I painted, weathered and dry brushed the dio and figures using Vallejo and GW paints.
