Daggone, that is awesome. Hey, did you see us feature your Death Star Play Set on the first video version of Custom Action Figure News?

Off to share this latest update.

I must have this.  I picked up another 2-1B,  and the roughing out for a courier droid is done.

Really.   Must have.


BTW, they're showing another 3D printer's torture rack on Yakface this week.   I prefer the scale and detail of yours.

Jrnyfan, just saw your Death Star Playset on Tamer's podcast/YT Video. Amazing! I hope you have kids because that thing just screams "PLAY WITH ME!!!". I think many would easily pay $300 for one of these if Hasbro would get off of their excuses and manufacture something like this. "Bring on the Barge!!!"

Great work!

[jrnyfan]

Thanks for the continued compliments, guys! I don't have a kids - but a nephew who is one year old. Hope he'll get to enjoy these things in a few years.

I'm now on vacation for several weeks - so hopefully will have some time to get rolling with some more cool stuff. This week I just can't seem to find the motivation to get back to the Death Star. It's just difficult work that's left on it (not really much creative stuff), so I'm being a slacker. I did manage to 3-D print a 3_D scan of my little brother's head yesterday - ha.

I did revamp the website this morning, though. Some new pictures, a new narrative about my history with SW, and I hope soon to be able to include some "123-D" scans of the playsets so readers can virtually interact with them.

Also toying with the idea of maybe printing off some torture racks to see if anyone would be interested in buying. I now want to have a rainbow of 3D printer plastic colors to use - and $30 a roll is expensive!!

Just checked out website and loved it seeing all those playsets together the WIP pics was awesome.

This is pure diorama, not playset. It's 2 parts - the wall base attaches onto 3 pegs coming up from the floor piece. A couple of labels finish it out. One day hope to do something much for expansive for Blockade Runner, but this is fun for now.

A little more progress on the Death Star - Tarkin area and tractor beam now attached to the rest of the upper levels. Built the wall between the 2 parts.

Found out today I have to purchase a new air conditioner, so plastic making may be on pause for a few days.

[jrnyfan]

After hearing there's an interest in purchasing some of my work, I've decided to sell a few pieces on demand. I currently have the shopping cart setup with a limited number of "in stock" items until I see how much demand (or lack there of!) there really is. Only have 2 pieces right now, but plan to add more in the near future.

I want to make it clear that these pieces I'm selling are in no way related to "Star Wars" (or G.I. Joe or any other trademarked property) - instead they are meant to be generic diorama pieces that work well with a variety of 3 3/4" toy lines.

Hey jrny, the link isn't working. I don't know if it's my computer or the link.

[jrnyfan]

Hrmm, link comes up for me and I had my brother pull it up and worked fine for him. Maybe try a different browser?

Adding a "lounge chair" to the store today - and hopefully a "snow planet computer unit," too.

The Tantive display looks great and the DS playset is amazing.

Vacation is great - love having time to spend with plastic!

Fine-tuning Death Star now - likely won't post any other pics of it until it's done. Filling in the gaps and seams just isn't easy work at all. Plus covering up the "edges" of the floors is a pain, too.

While waiting on paint to dry this morning, I knocked out the Tusken Camp - made entirely of Instamorph, no 3-D printing involved. I'll likely refine it someday,  but this works ok for a rough draft. More pics on Facebook.

Still refining the "cold planet computer" - and some other goodies that might look at home in a Hoth Rebel Command Center. Hope to get them into the new store soon.

FWIW the links are working for me too. Tested in Chrome, IE, and Firefox.

[Tamer]

Wow, you are really getting things done. Time to take a bit of this to the front page too.

Another awesome looking play piece mate.
