Title: My First Diorama: Yavin Medal Ceremony
Post by: mfk on April 25, 2007, 11:54 PM

Hey guys,
After years and years of looking at custom dioramas on this board, i decided to get off my butt and make one myself that involved more than using packaging or photos from the internet. After finally getting a non-buff Ceremony Luke and that nifty honor guard, and seeing BespinJedi34's cool version, I got some foamcore, an exacto knife, some balsa wood, a little light plaster and acrylic paint and let my creativity flow in a physical way (I'm a musician, so most of my creative energy gets focused there...btw - check out www.TheLightsOut.com (http://www.TheLightsOut.com) for free mp3s!)

First time making anything out of foamcore and the last time I picked up a paintbrush was in 10th grade art class in 1990.
