Hi All,

Finished this today and will get usual pics once the weather clears up.

I wanted to have make this for a while now and finally got the Tie pilot the other day. I will also be doing a Luke (Red 5) in this style dio soon and I will get the recipe up with the usual pics.

Love the at ease pose with the TIE Pilot. Great idea. Kind of like a reference series of ship to trooper. I could so see an AT-AT Driver version of this. Off to share Ron!

That is a great diorama and idea.

Any plans for other dios like this besides Luke?

Thanks Shawn and I am trying to get a AT-AT pilot to do a dio like this with it.

That is a great diorama and idea.

Cheers buddy.

Han Solo
Jawa
Snowspeeder pilot
Y-wing
A-wing
Boba Fett
Vader
Scout Trooper

A 6 inch A-wing pilot sounds very interesting. If you do the Snowspeeder are you going to have just one pilot or both the pilot and gunner?

The A-wing pilot I can't wait to do and for the snowspeeder I think I'll go with just the pilot at this stage.

Hi All,

Here are the usual pics and recipe.

Recipe

Pilot - is from Hasbro and I superglued the joints and then puttied them up and once the putty was dry I used tissue paper to cover the outfit. I used the open hands from the Bandai Stormtrooper so the hands could lock together as the Hasbro hands were to closed to give them that stand at ease look.

Fighter - is from Bandai is 1/72nd scale and was built straight out of the box and I used a piece of plastic rod and the end of the stand attachment that comes with the kit to secure the fighter to the base.

Base - The fighters base is the one that comes with the kit and the pilots base is two Bandai bases that comes with the figures. I glued the two bases together and the painted them and used to empty inhalers for the canisters.

I painted everything using Vallejo paints.

Cheers Shawn and Bandai is bringing out a 1/144 scale so I'll use that unless I can find one a little bigger. I thought about a 1/72 but it will to large.

Hi All,

Completed this dio finally I was just waiting on paint and pastel chalks.

Recipe

Troopers - are from Bandai and built straight out of the box and I then covered the joints with stocking material and then painted weathered them using Vallejo paints and pastel chalks. The bino's I got from a mate over on FB Bandai forums and the strap is just a piece of thin leather.

Base - is from the Stannarts Dewback resin kit and the sand is a mix of 50% sand/ 45% spakfilla/ 5% sand paint. Once the lot was mixed together I then applied it to the base and once dry I then painted and weathered the rocks with Vallejo Paints and pastel chalks.
