Topic: My diorama - Mos Maa'eli

Apparently according to Wookieepedia...or was it Google (scratches head) the reason the Dewbacks look different in ANH: SE and TPM is that there's several different species of Dewback on Tatooine.

Grizzled Dewbacks
Cannibal Dewbacks
Lesser Dewbacks
Mountain Dewbacks

I agree with the leg saddle trap door in the body thing.  That's one thing i liked about the Taun Tauns back in the day.

Here's some dio updates.  Work has slowed a bit recently and there's a lot to be weathered on certain thing that have yet to be photographed.

Below are a few of the completed items.





Below is a street vendor who sells used armour from around the galaxy.

Looks cool man ..you now got me wanting a diorama lol

[Wardog]

Thanks man.  I'll hopefully be filling the whole dio with figures this afternoon and doing some shot and then i'll upload them to here man.

I actually have one of these lieing around somewhere which was a donation from Hasbro back when they did that sort of thing. I can't think of a better way of paying it forward than donating it to Frank Diorio for his build. I am also still not sure I don't like the Potf2 sculpt better to be honest.

yup, I got the "new" Dewback for the sandi back then, hate the Dewback but loved the sandi who now sits on my POTF Dewback while my other one just sits in a pile of stuff I dont use.

To me a different looking Dewback isn't an issue...i like the fact we've seen 2 types now and there's even a tanned version seen on film as well (TPM).  You see differences like this all the time in nature...a species adapts and breaks away from the original yet is still classed under it's original name....Iguanas, Geckos and Dragons (not the fantasy BS ones) all have sub-species much like the Dewback.   The different version of the Dewback is just Lucasfilm copying what happens in nature.

The "new" Dewback is more closely connected to the original Kenner version then the Hasbro POTF2 version.  I personally like both versions myself.

Above is just a few photos with mostly customs and prequel figures.  This is not my whole collection and these photos seem a tad rushed (to me).

The details you are adding are superb! Love all the junk everywhere! This diorama is so awesome!

[Mando Assasin]

WOW this is so AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Wardog]

Thanks guys 

I'm planning on adding a few more bits and peices here and there and there's still a bit of painting to be done on a few smaller things so when that's all done i'll get some other shots uploaded.  These were really just a quick test to see how everything looks because i haven't really had figures in the dio for months now (i don't leave them in the dio after the shots are done). 

I'll try and get some good aerial shots too because there's 3 ships "flying" over head and i'd like to see them in shots somehow!!!!....i have to get high enough first!!! (NOT a drug reference there by the way).

I have A LOT more photos of the dio and my collection on my FB page...if anyone wants to "friend" up i have a "Welcome To Tatooine" banner on my profile page and a photo of my daughter as my profile picture......oh, almost forgot.  Type in Luke Favaloro as well...that may help just a tad
