Hi All,

Wow Ron, epic is how I would now describe this. I bet you are getting a ton of offers on it each day. So cool. Off to share it yet again!

Thanks heaps Shawn and yeah I have actually but they understand why I don't want to sell it.

Perfect ! Another excellent piece. I an not familiar with making sand and rock effects the way you do and have always been in awe . That's why i went with real sand on mine . But i like how you listed what you used for the look of the rocks and sand  i will have to experiment ! If i am not mistaken didn't you do a video tutorial of how you get those effects ? 

Thanks heaps Jedi, I did the Boba Fett tutorial but I didn't use sand I used potty mix for that one. I can do a tutorial for you if you like.

Hi All,

Here are my usual outdoor pics. The sand/spakfilla mix was a little white so the last thing I did before the pics was give the sand a wash of Vallejo's Iraqui Sand.

Hi All,

I'm going to start doing little dio projects between my larger dio builds. I started this 1/144 X-wing ANH rebel base this afternoon and so far it's taking me about 1.5hrs to get to this stage.

The base is two Bandai bases glued together and then blasa wood was cut out and attached to the edges. I used cardboard for the floor and scribed lines into using a model knife, I used a piece of high density foam for the stone wall and scribed the stone into using a pencil.

The X-wing was built straight out of the box and I made landing legs using plastic card and thin plastic rod. I have a few more greeblies to add and will have it all done tonight.

Very cool Dewback diorama!

What can I say Ron? That Dewback Dio gets thousands of views as of each new posting. Folks love it. Matter of fact that gives me an idea for a question to ask Hasbro for the Google Hangout this next week.

That mini dio is off the charts cool too. Off to share!

Hi All,

Rebel Base 1/144 scale.

The X-wing is from Bandai and it was built straight out of the box, I made the landing gear using pieces of plastic card and thin plastic rod.

The base is two Bandai stands glued together and then balsa wood was added to the sides. The cement is cardboard cut to size and then glued in place and then lines were added to make the seperations between the slaps.

The wall high density foam and I did the blocks using a pencil and the I used a sand stone rock and pushed it lightly into the foam to give it a more realistic look. The vines are from woodland Scenics fine leaf foliage and I just pulled pieces off and glued them in place.

The grey crates are 1/72 scale suit cases and the blue and yellow crates are pieces of plastic card glued together. The ladder was made from cutting thins pieces of plastic card and then glued together to make the ladder.

The tubes are just old head phones cords and the figures are Gundam 1/144 figures which I got from Hobby Link Japan.
