Awsome job!! I wish I had those skills and if I did my wife would kill me for taking up more space!

I would love to know how you made the gantry over the X-Wing. I would love to have 3 or 4 of those myself!


Thanks finn!  There is a WIP/how to over at Rebelscum.  Here is the link to page 3 where it begins:

http://threads.rebelscum.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=4465006&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=365&fpart=3&vc=1


Now for some low art/comedy.  When trying to decide what to put in a spot in the back of the pull out section, to hide the batteries for the lights and fiber optics, I solicited fellow dio/customizers at Rebelscum for ideas, and we came up with the idea of Princess Leia's flooded chamber's.

Without further adieu, here it is.  The scene where our favourite droids discover the thermal heater is blasting, and melting everything, including a hole in the floor!  "OH MY GOODNESS!!!"

Ha ha, awesome. I never really caught C-3pO's line about her clothes in that scene until recently. Made me laugh.

LOL. I always wondered what that might have looked like!

Back on the front page.

I would also like to thank DW for the flashy eyes on my avatar. He knows how to make some nice animated gifs!

Hell yeah this is brillant lov ethe details in her room like the photo's the melted snow hole and the wet cloths. Ialso like the heater the painted coils actually look like the would burn you if you touch them.

On a side note do you have a tutorial on the turntables I really like the idea and would like to try it on a dio.

Ron, I'm not sure what to say about a tutorial for turntables, other than it is trial and error, and you have to build around them, constantly checking that nothing impedes their ability to turn.  You want them anchored with a non-slip mat while building, and if you want to, can glue it in place once you have everything around it done.  Just make sure the structure around it is solid, and won't settle, and impede movement, especially if you glue it in place.  The turntables I use are about eight to ten inches in diameter and make of plastic.  They are also $1 from the dollar store, so cheap to play and experiment with!  Hope this helps!

Hey Spooky, thanks!  Just had a friend take some HUGE pics.  I'm sizing them down, and doing a little Photoshop this time round.  (Her camera could get some wide and panorama pics, my cheap camera could not.  As well as some nice close shots) 

Here are some:













Can't wait to get the new Bespin Han....he will look sooooooo much better in here.  We did some South Passage pics, with Han and Leia, but I hate the Han I used, so will re-do those pics in the future.)
