Wow, that's off the chart amazing.  What a true SHAME it is that Hasbro refuses to make things this cool.

That is why its so cool to have customizers like this to show you just what you can create.

Thanks for the comments! Glad to have Mos Espa finished. I tinkered a bit this morning to get an early start on the next playset. The action mechanism didn't work as well as I'd hoped, so this will likely be re-done. But, it's a start :)

Well that looks pretty cool. Time to go share that too. You sure didn't leave the dust settle long did you!

Not much to look at, but did a great deal of design work on the Death Star. Should be about as large as the Terror Drome, plus a couple of "stories." This is the "bottom half"...

*this is a prototype made of posterboard and cardboard.

I really can't wait to see your Death Star.  I wish Hasbro would also take notice at how things like this could be done... it's a shame just how out of touch they are.

Every project starts with the first piece and there it is! You really all have us hooked with this one.

Just a tad bit more done today.

Tried plastic spraypaint on a sample piece today to see how well the Instamorph would take it. Seems to do okay. Covers up air bubble discolorations it seems. I may spraypaint the black Death Star floors to give them that uniform shiny black look. The problem is once it's painted, the Instamorph no longer is re-usable - unless you scrape all the paint off - which I doubt is an option with this "plastic" spraypaint.
