Having just seen the photonovel type shots, it is interesting to see the actual set up here.

I love dio shots, and I love behind the scenes, so this is a winning thread for me.

Here's the difference between no fill-light and a fill-light.  I set up an LED booklight just to the right of the trooper in order to eliminate the deep shadows being cast by the overhead "sun."

Doc, personally I like shadows.

LED lamps give a similar light to the sun, they have a high colour temperature or something like that,  which gives more shadows to objects, this can be used to your advantage. A standard incandescent bulb gives a much warmer, yellowy light and a much wider spread.

My favourite light source is LED.

Since someone made fun of pointed out my styrofoam blocks still look like styrofoam, I decided I should change that a little.  So, I played with the spraypaints some this evening.

First up, three random bits of styrofoam packing blocks, a section of a toilet-tissue roller, and two short softdrink cans.  The cans have been altered - one has the lid from a 1gal Gatorade jug glued atop it and the other has a couple of electrical conduit bits I found at Lowe's.  Everything has been painted and grimed-up with Krylon spray-paints.

Next, I added a length of black zip-tie to the bottom edge of the gray "industrial building" wall.  This helps hide the wavy gap there as well as provides some visual detail.

Finally, I used the last of the zip-tie, including the head, on the inside.  Might be a lift-control, light-switch, power-plug... who knows?  It's another bit of visual interest.

Looks cool to me, Doc!
Have you heard about the Hasbro diorama contest?

I guess that the details are at hasbro.com and I haven't found them yet. I hear that it's either a clone wars or OTC dio and there is a prize available with an opportunity to have your dip shown at the just announced celebration 11?
