Ain't that the truth. Wow! I too liked those Space Trolls and went with that for the front page update.

Ofcourse, if you think I didn't like Commander Resibar, then you don't know me too well! Great work.

So many GREAT figures in this update, Chewie! But those Trolls still give me the creeps in the best possible way.  :)
I dabble in the Star Wars Universe of Toys... I rip apart little plastic people and turn them into other plastic people. Sometimes I take pictures of them and post them.

Wow!  That was a tsunami sized update.  Its hard to pick a favorite, but my love for Jabba's palace makes me lean towards the courier droid.

Chewie puts us to shame with the amount of customs he can produce!  Awesome work as always.

Thanks -- you guys are too kind.  I appreciate the very nice words.

When I have time over the next few months, my goal in customizing is to expand my diorama environments for my scenes and to give me a larger library of scenery for photonovels.  So, I started toying around with making a cantina room. 

This is more of a "prototype" test for some more elaborate environments - and this will need a few more details added to it.  I'm pretty pleased with the results though, and am starting to get the itch to finally make a better cantina diorama, and hopefully a new Jabba's Palace scene too.





Parts Used:
- matte board (kind used in picture frames)
- balsa wood
- masking tape
- spackle
- paint

Looks great to me. That just means more great photo-novels! Back to the front page.

This looks great. I need to make something like this to display some figures. Sitting on a Bookshelf looks so bland when you can create something this great with so few materials.

This is really fantastic work...you have definitely upped your game and seeing now simplistic the materials seem to be, I think I might be ready to dabble in something like this.  The fact that these will be seen in your upcoming PN's is icing on the cake.  Really looking forward to some more great stuff!

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

Whoa... beautiful. Just beautiful. On all these. All I can think to say.

Thanks guys, I always appreciate the support here.  It's amazing!

I've started on another project that will take some time - I've got most of the hard work done on it, I think.  It's very time consuming, more than anything.




I'm not making the whole palace by any means, and it's not going to be even close to film accurate, but I wanted an upgrade over my styrofoam version I made about 10 years ago.  

Parts Used:
- matte board (kind used in picture frames)
- balsa wood
- masking tape
- wood glue

After I add some more details and all that, I'll spackle this and paint it up.  Hopefully in a couple weeks I'll have this thing about done.  I might make a couple more rooms depending on how this turns out, and maybe this will even show up in one of Rykrof Enloe's adventures.

That's my kind of scum.  ;D Fearless and inventive. See what I did there? Eh... ah never mind, but seriously those dioramas ROCK.

I really need to take more pics but here's a snapshot of Jabba's throne area.

I'll update soon with some more customs too.   :)
