Thanks so much, User897! Welcome to the Yards!

Barry! You are killing me! This is really spectacular! You are nailing every detail! The mountain range looks great, Bob Ross would be proud! It is just enough to bring the entire piec together. I could also see you doing a small amount of work to the stark white field of snow below the mointains to blend the paint with the diorama. Very nice work bra! Forget C6 lets have a ISY meeting in a hotel conference room near Barry's home town!

Lol, L.E.. I really appreciate it. I'm hoping to have a few more tricks up my sleeve. Thanks again!

This is awesome! What did you use for snow?

Thanks so much! I used all purpose flour that I have treated after a few people told me of the potential downside to having 50 lbs of untreated flour exposed to air. I had another, smaller, Hoth dio years ago, and I used 16 lbs of baking soda for that. Baking soda is more expensive, but after 7 years of having it exposed, the only issue was that it will absorb any odors. Didn't clump; worked perfectly.

Barry mate  THAT is one seriously awesome background and dio (i can just hear the battle of hoth ESB soundtrack playing in my head)

Saw this on facebook last night and I am finding it hard to believe this is Barry's first foray into painting. I think it looks brilliant.

I would love to hear how you prepare that much flour and what you do to it to keep if from yellowing down the road. I so hope we can get you on that diorama podcast so I can explore this is much further detail. So cool and back on the fp.

Uh oh, Tamer. I prepared it with pesticides for the bugs.... Forgot about the yellowing.
Thanks so much for all of the customizing love. I really appreciate it. I'm also hoping to make the podcast. Sounds like fun! Thanks again.

Btw, here is my latest video on youtube. Thanks for looking!

Barry, this is one helluva diorama, my friend. The sheer size of it and all of the stuff that's going on is very impressive. The snowspeeder buzzing around that AT-AT, the one with the smoke trail, the very incredible huge smoke column of the downed walker... most impressive indeed. Love the placement of Vader, a commander and the snowtroopers. Very nice nod to the old Kenner Scout Walker packaging Love the added laser blasts as well, very very clever way of making those!

Thanks so much, Remco! I really appreciate all of your kind words.

Here's my video with a friend's touch on the audio. Totally made it so much better.

Thanks again to everyone!

It is nice with the sound effects, but to be honest from a customizing standpoint I enjoyed your video with your commentary as you pan around. Just my opinion though. So do you have the handle TojoYomamoto too?

Thanks Tamer. Lol, it seems I can't stick with one name.
