I love the poses on the Femme Sandy, even if they are limited!  

Interesting take on the rebel commander in uniform; looks good!

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

wow. looks like a simple set up but very effective/realistic. love especially shot #3 with Han and Chewie, very cool out of focus thing there, great lighting, but the others are great, too.
thanks for sharing!

Thanks Art, Spry, and HB94! The recipe is very simple and easy to do! You can have your own mini endor too!

You will need:

Real dried moss (1-2 bags) for the forest floor and to glue onto trees
Spanish moss (1 bag) to simulate vines and creepers
a flat base (size is your choosing) I went with a larger base
green, brown, and/or tan spray paint (for a forest floor color)
artificial fallen, decayed, or standing tree(s) from a pet store. The things they have for terrariums (lizard and turtle tanks) and fish tanks work amazingly! They even have desert rocks which would make for awesome Tatooine dios (upcoming? hmmm maybe!)
hot glue

and that's it!

Great job on the dios and thanks for heads up on costs for the pieces needed to create this. 

Your photography really does this set of scenes justice!

Thanks guys! Glad to share and super excited to keep creating! Will have to keep testing more recipes and building dios! I'm thinking of a Jedi enclave--a clearing in the Dantooine grass with polished stones and maybe some ruins. Stay tuned for more creations!
