XTS_Operative Battle Diorama Update!!!! 10/21/2013
« on: May 26, 2012, 09:45:35 PM »
Here is my Jabba dio that I referred to in my first post, she may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. Since first coming to ISY, I've made a lot of special modifications myself. I built this back in September as my first project. Jumped right in with both feet and really didn't know what I was getting into. Most of these pictures are new...

I am currently working on a dio based on my own personal fan fiction. I'll start posting some pics once I have something I'm not ashamed to show. I never expected it, but diorama building is turning out to be a full-blown interest for me, and I think I love it. Thanks for looking.

These are pics in natural light...

Wow! I love the lights in this dio, especially the table lights. I love how Dengar is just sitting around waiting for something.

Thanks so much for looking & the front page! Clonesniper that's cool that you noticed Dengar. I like that relaxed pose so much. I think it looks natural. It's difficult to make the characters seem alive. Maybe if I delve more into custom figures I will be able to bring a much greater aspect of reality.

Amazing!  Great pics and imagination in these vignettes you've created!  Respect for going with the power-trio version of the Rebo band! I held off on watching the SE of  ROTJ until maybe last year and nearly choked on my cornflakes. Jedi Rocks?!  Especially good to see that you went with the vintage Sy Snootles figure! Keep up the fine, fine work!

Thanks for the compliments guys! Yeah, I like the vintage Sy Snootles too. Not to start any arguments on the merits/negatives of the SE, but I really miss the original Rebo Band. Thanks for noticing.

Thanks dudes! I love this website. There is so much to learn here, and the peeps have been very welcoming.

Here's a link to my favorite Jabba dio on the internet.http://www.niubniubsuniverse.com/visitors/084Beaulieu/Beaulieu01.asp  I honestly can't hold a candle to this guy, but hopefully one day I will have all of the skills necessary to do something close. Thanks for the compliments!
