Ultimate Imperial Playset Project !! - Wednesday, January 26, 2011

click here

click here

Am embarking on my first Lightbox project in years. This will be more on the lines of a Playset then a Diorama.

Besides a Lightbox I'm adding Lighted Columns and what I call Half-Rounds.

Presently the work is on Home Made Jigs to cut slots in PVC pipe. It is a trial and (lotsa)error process.

Will be presenting pics (less the blood) of the Chaos at the Imperial Shipyards Forum time to time.

Still Hammer'n at it !! - Saturday, September 19, 2009

click here

After much experimenting and practice (and creating lotsa scrap wood) I think I have this Bar thing down.

Wood turning is an art and even though I have a Lathe. Much experience I did not have. But the Vessels "Turned" out quite well I think.

Another thing I plan to try is a Video Tutorial. This also might take some time to get a grip on but I'll get something up as soon as I come up with something not too Embarrassing..

Death Star Lightbox Display - Saturday, November 15, 2008

click here

The Final picture page and a Picture tutorial page are up for the Death Star Lightbox Display.

As I said in the previous post this is a older project that hasn't made it to the site yet. After completing (less the background) I had to move on to another project I had promised and had used some of niubniubs backgrounds for temporary display.

I didn't want to put it up on my site till it was all original. The background I have made is basically experimental. I hope to get into casting in the future which would allow me to get more innovative with the detail with out eating up tons of time.

Finally all the Tutorials are done and wired up for the Echo Base Shelf. Too long in the waiting it was the most complex shelf project i've done to date.

On a most happy note I'm glad to see that Markus at Starconstrux And Frank at Niubniubs Universe are posting again. Can't wait to see what these Diorama Masters are going to come up with next.

All the Tutorials are done and wired up for the Deathstar Briefing Playset Shelf and ready for your viewing pleasure. I've decided to forego a lightbox for it at this time.

I'm presently working on finishing all the pages of the Echo Base Shelf so I can move on to a shelf that is for (more than likely) the largest ship you have at this time..
