thanks guys! to populate the scene I bought the tantive IV set that has 2 stormtroopers, 2 rebel fleet troopers, and 1 darth vader. I am getting some more soon, and the goal is to recreate the first few scenes of A New Hope. One question though, i am going to need to recreate smoke for the scene. I have been advised to maybe use dry ice and water, but do you guys have any suggestions? thanks.

    I often thought about making smoke too. You could use cotton balls (sparingly or it looks like cotton balls), spun glass or a product they call angel hair (used for Christmas decorations), they make smoke generators for model trains but you will have to build the dio on a platform to place the generator underneath. Dry ice works great when photographing but not to display.

Barry Riddle is a guy who is well known for making smoke effects and explosions using cotton and led lighting. I would check out some of his work on Facebook.

So last night I decided I wanted to try some baking soda/snow effects. I had some leftover foam board around so this is what I came up with.
