Some weeks ago I was cleaning some old McFarlane Conan figures, and decide to make a dio for one of the models, alongside some small repainted areas on the base figure:

That looks really great! I like sharp contours of the stone backdrop. Totally fits the Conan "vibe."

I agree, McFarlane has some of the best figures at least from what I've seen. Loved their military figures, which I got 4 of.

Your display diorama looks awesome for that purpose! Very efficient base dimensions and a nice height. Thanks for sharing!

That sharp rock is awesome! Man great dio. Now I have the Conan music going through my head and all the classic Conan lines like what is the greatest thing in life?

Thanks! I keep checking the Cimmeria and Vanaheim artbooks tying to get the place's vibe indeed!

Those collections are awesome. I wish they go back and make some more Conan's related stuff. At least Mezco is putting some good (and expensive) stuff on the market.

Crom! I love the movie's one-liners jewels:

This one is not a big update, but I recently finished a heavily modify a power-energizer-thing for the rebel hangar:

I made a new bigger dio for the free space I had on the display cabinet: a market on Tatooine.

It had to fit a lot of figures and make them visible the best it could, so I basically build up the walls and carved some places the lights find its way inside.

I got some new biggers dios to share in a near future, both in the final stages., but I had to take a creative break. So, in the meantime I did a palm sized small dio using a fantasy flight Razor Crest to fresh my mind. Here is the result:









My favorite feature from this dio is the non visible hook to keep the flying position.

That's an excellent paint job on the Razor Crest!. I like the base a lot, especially the cave cut in underneath. Really nice!
