Hi All

Here are a few WIP of the 1/6 Mos Eisley/Mos Espa Tatooine dio. I have done the usual mix of plaster of paris and woodglue for the walls,  I also moved around the pipes to suit the look of the dio better.

I have made a stall/market table from using balsa wood and model boat string, I'm still up in the air as to having a table in that area or just make cargo boxes etc which can be moved around.

If I keep the table it will be inplace for good the long string attachements will be secured to the wall so the table will be supported by the string and the two leg supports, I have added pics of what the table can look like with items on it (what do you guys suggest).

Aww, heck.  I think I am in love.... (jk).  Awesome stuff.  To my mind life doesn't get much better than sandtroopers and pile of blasters.  Can't wait to see the rest.  I know it is going to be stunning.

This is going to be a great looking piece Ron. Love the idea of the riffle stand.

Hey Guys

Thanks heaps for the replies and glad you liked it.

I'm afraid I will be using only about 1/2 of this dio now as it doesn't help having a 85kg man falling on top of it while carrying it into the garage and not looking were he is going near the step.

I'm glad to say no Sandies were harmed in the accident   swalk,  I'll keep you all posted on the newer scaled down version.

Hey All

Tamer - Yeah Shawn he got a good talking to alright LOL can't belive I wasn't watching what I was doing. The good news is I had a good look at it and only lost about 4-5 inchs off the right side so all in all I was pretty lucky.

Hey All

Spry - The dio has been fixed it was just a case of carefully cutting the cracked section away. I will be adding WIP pics very very soon.

Hi All

Here are some pics of the wall painting procedure, I have done some experimenting using clothes dye as a undercoat for the walls.  I have found using dye is a cheaper way of doing the walls as I don't use alot of model paint.

I have used a dark brown dye over the plaster and watered the dye down just enough so that it won't be to dark. Also as you can see I had to chop of about 3-4 inches of the base on the right handside.
