This was my first attempt at building a diorama.  It was ambitious.  I was generally pleased with how it turned out.  Its biggest flaws are its size and weight (that sucker is really hard to move).  But I learned a lot from its construction (like how to wire LED lights!).

For more shots of this display head over to my diorama website

So I thought I might just start my own dioramas/customs thread.  I had mainly been posting in the RS Diorama's section, but there is just not that much activity in that forum.  Since JD's did not really have Dioramas and customs sectioned out I thought I might give it a try here.

Here are the threads I started for my last two project here at JD:
Hoth Invasion
Tantive IV

I also built a rotating display that I do not recall posting here, so I will post some of my favorite shots of it here soon.

Also here are some shots of some of my recent aquisitions/customs:

Desert Snitch



Moff Jerjerrod Escort



Cody's Crew



This is one of my few attempts at customizing.  I had seen someone else do a orange repaint of Commander Bacarra and I liked it a lot.  Also I was getting tired to the crayon box collection of clones that I have and wanted to have a more coherent collection.  With the Airborne Trooper arriving next year, I decided to repaint some of my troops in line with Cody's crew.   Right now I have just repainteded the Battle Pack Bararra (the real bararra is waiting for his marines next year!), a SA Clone and a standard QD Clone.  I have tried doing minor repaints using crafting paint but was not really happy with the result.  So here it tried using modelers paint and I like the look much better.

My new Rebel Troopers



Thanks for taking a look.

Nice set up, it looks great.  I really prefer seeing displays set up like yours than plain lines of imperials.  I know my extra DSG found a good home.

Amazing Collection, fantastic pictures, nice display.  I just can not image the work dusting it.  That inspires me to keep my collection at a manageable size.

I just completed my first trade with Darth_Anton and all went smoothly.  Great trader.

Saga Collection '06 / Re: Any TSC Pegwarmers?

I can always find Lushros Dofines anywhere I go (8+).  Most everything else seems to move fairly well.  How to make a peg warmer?  Put any Neimoidian on the shelf.

Modern Trading / Trade: TSC DS Gunner for TSC Sandtrooper
« on: August 16, 2006, 12:01 AM »
I ended up with an extra DS Gunner, and want a sandtrooper (don't want to drive around hunting for one).  Straight up trade anyone interested?


***PENDING TRADE***

Saga Collection '06 / Re: BARC TROOPER!
« on: August 9, 2006, 12:15 PM »
This gives me hope that this one may not be too hard to find....nah people are still going to buy this guy up in droves.

71
I found my first last friday.  Seems like only Fred Meyers in my area is getting them yet (or Tatooine for that matter).

72
Have not seen any Tatooine yet.

I'm not the biggest fan of the POTF snowtrooper either but I is what I have.  The newer saga versions are too hunched over for my taste (except the new saga 2006, just hard to justify getting more when I have 8 already).  I'm really waiting for him to get the Vintage Collection Treatment.

For my Tantive IV display I just could not bring my self to use the POTF rebels, so I held out for the POTJ.

Looks great, I like the paint/wall texture.  Can't wait to see the rest painted.

Thanks for all the feed back everyone.  My next project will be "Endor Patrol".  My biker scouts need a home, and a display to show case that VTSC Scout.
