How it's made: 1/6 Death Star hallway

Jazz, try clicking the image box where it says I need to enable 3rd party hosting, it takes you to my photobucket account. Maybe I have that as private and can't share, I will see if I did that by accident.

I used future floor shine and it worked like a charm. I had no paint issues. At first application it looked like it was leaving white streaks, but it does that at first and settles in to a nice smooth shiny surface. Makes it easier to wipe dust off as well.

Future floor shine applies with a fan brush.

Those shots are awesome. Love the stormtroopers behind Vader. Looks like a promo pic from a movie.

Thank you! These have been my goal and dream to own since I started collection. I can’t imagine not having this amazing diorama to show them off.

Started painting mine finally

Only been in the box for like 2 years now

Had not visited the thread in a long time.....Solo nailed it with the shiny floor. Was doing that with mine. Hope it turns out as well. Hi-gloss Black and hi-gloss sealer....hope it works.

Good luck! I cannot wait to see pictures! Actually, Solo bought a prepainted set that now comes with a high gloss floor.

That Death Star Dio must be the single best way to display your Imperial forces. It just looks incredible and instantly makes your dolls look like actual real people inside an actual movie set.

Agreed, and Solo's amazing custom Stormies don't hurt either.

Finally assembling yesterday, and last night:

Following directions exactly...

Joost even gets the smallest of details nailed

One of my own personal touches....custom control panel built out of styrene.

Still have to put outside layer of blast doors on:

2nd control panel goes where the righthand wall is butchered

Finish tonight hopefully

I have to tape that corner to prevent light bleed.

Awesome. Did you make your own hole to accommodate the stand for the blasted Stormtrooper?

I was thinking of trying something like that with my detolf version in order to make the interrogation droid float. But lack of handiness has gotten in the way.
