You can also see it on my personal site starwars.creativedigitalnw.com

It is under dioramas in 4 parts (Endor in Winter, Throne Room, Imperial Hanger and Duel Platforms).

I can see where you could see the ice capades look of the stands, funny. 

Thanks for the feed back.

It is all wood except for the floor panels (sheet metal).  The wall panels were cut from scrap pieces of 2x4's - I first cut out the width and height, the sliced off as many panels as I needed, thinner for the black panels.

The floor is a single piece of 1/4" sheetboard with sheetmetal floor panels glued (liquid nails) to it.

The taper piece at the base of the floor was a made from some molding I found down at the hardware store.  The taller 'beams' were cut out on my band saw.

The walls are a sandwitch of 1/4" sheetboard, this allows a 1/8" door to smoothly slide between.  The details were cut into the door with my table saw on a VERY shallow setting.  The doors operate manually.

Let me know if you want a really detailed process for creating these.  I already have another almost completed (Hoth Invasion) using the exact same form factor and plan on making the rest of my dioramas using multiples of 8" (ie 8x8x8, 8x16x8, etc...).  I have considered building these 'frames' to sell, but when I posed in another forum there was not too much interest.

Yea, the black stands do visually impact the scene.  If you view my older rotating display, they are not as noticeable on a black floor.  Some of the pics were taken before I got some light grey minimagstands which are less visible than the black ones (Leia has to free stand due to her tiny feet).  I really don't have the patience to carefully position each figure without knocking them all over and having to start over, and these stands are much smaller and allow the figures to be placed much closer together than with the larger real stands.

Thanks for all the comments.

I have not minded the delay either.  I took a bit of a hit with the VTSC so a little time to recover is good.

Does anyone know any email addresses other than publicity@lucasfilm.com we can send complaints to? We need to flood anyone and everyone at lucas film with polite complaint letters.

They just updated my arrival date to May 16th from July 11th.  They have no idea what they are doing over there.

I use a Nikon D70.  Yes it is expensive, but I have already killed 2 'consumer' point & shoots at around 5000 pictures each (seems most consumer digicams die around here).  My D70 is rated in excess of 50,000.  I usually shoot with my 18-70mm lens, but has sometimes used my 70-300 lens (I don't have a macro lens yet!).
