Hehe well yeah they do look a bit like that Kreeper2 but Adam Fett sent me this image for inspiration: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v243/jedidoug/Star%20Wars/Bobafett.jpg

So without a table and bench i decided to opt for a Jabba's palace setting

Thanks Sith! Do you have a link to it? Glad you like them! Most of these can be found on the AFE page in the archives but I'm happy to post them here too!

I have a background in photography and have really enjoyed putting my skills to use on this small scale! Let me know if you think i should post a tutorial/want to know how to stage photos like this for your own collections. It's pretty easy once you figure it out :)


Here's one of my favorites: "Fett vs. Fett"

"I saw Solo first!" "No! He's Mine!"

Thanks Darth Daddy! Glad you like them!

Here's another of my favorites. This is inspired by the last few panels from the comic book Boba Fett: Twin Engines of Destruction which features Jodo Kast and Boba Fett squaring off.

Thanks so much Spry! Glad you're liking it! Mwuahahaha a Sith magician never reveals his tricks... ok it's a Nikon 3000 digital SLR with an AF-S Nikkor 55-200 lens mounted on a sunpak tripod. I can start a tutorial page if you want... just not sure where to post it.

Got more to post so here you go. Enjoy!

Leia as Boushh leading a captive Chewbacca, 2 images of Montross standing triumphantly over the slain Jaster Mereel, and an image of Jabba and Oola posed as if they always got along ;)

I'm feeling me some Battlefront II gameplay in those Hoth pics!

I'm all in favor of a tutorial on photography, personally.  I'd put it here - http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?board=35.0 - in the Resources and References forum.  I mean, it *is* subtitled "Tips, tricks and refrence library. Got good pics? Post them here" so I figure that's the place for tutorials.

Thanks for the suggestion Doc! Glad you like them! I looooooove battlefront 2 so probably subconsciously influenced the pictures hehe. I posted the photo shoot tutorial before i saw your post under dioramas. http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?topic=6621.0 we can always move it. But there you go :)

Absolutely terrific job staging these pics!  I'm especially partial to your 2nd "What If..?"  pic of Bossk holding Fett by the head as well as the Montross standing over Jaster.  Superbly done!   :D

heh heh - My son and I love BFII Mos Eisley.  Heroes off, either era, max bad-guys...  we flank the field.  I don;t mean we work together well enough to flank individual bad guys on the field, I mean we outflank the *entire city*!  At once!  We just wish they'd stuck with the AotC "finhead" clones, tho.

Good basic photo-setup tutorial, btw.  The only thing missing is "how to use your macro button" lesson.  ;D
