That is one of the most amazing things I've seen on the site. And there have been amazing things here!
A curious question. What is that red material? It looks metallic. Is it the paint job or actually metal?
Oh, I wonder if you could show us how you do the lights too. Where to buy or whatever. I have no experience with lighting but I am fascinated with what you did.
Thanks

I'm glad you dig my work!!
The red material is just a plastic sheet cut up (placemat) and painted with Revell nr. 37. Lights are 200 christmastreelights and were on sale....(bought them after x-mas) The yellow lights are transparant beeds I "borrowed" from my little daughter (I did ask permission...) and stuck the lights above it so it gives that nice yellow glow. Just start and learn along the way, that's how I learn.....trial and error.

Do you take commissions?

Sorry Wake.....no commisions just once in a lifetime project. And on a sidenote....this diorama weighs a ton and would cost a fortune for shipping. Please take the time to make one of your own and I'll be happy to give you some tips and tricks! If I look at the diorama now I could have done a better job....

Thanks for all you guys for taking the time to check my thread and posting your replies....really appreciate it!!

Chuffin Grand!!!! Love it..... is it the same size as the other dios...can not wait to see a shot of them all stacked up!

 

[pixletwin]

Wow. Jaw. On. Floor.

A-class work.

 

[flying dutchman]

Done.....It gives Luke a nice place to "hang out"....The first time I used a backdrop for a diorama. I learned alot again and can use the experience on projects to come. I guess that's the most fun...learing as you progress. Of course I'm already thinking about the next project...If time alows, I want to start in about a week or two. I will try to give regular upates as I go along.

I'd give this thread some stars but they're disabled. I love the way that turned out.

 

[Solo_bones]

I'm beside myself.....STUNNED!!

Amazing work, Dutchman. This is inspiring....but scary at the same time. I have two dio's in mind....and after seeing your Tantive and this last one....im literally scared to begin the projects. But....this work you have done shows that with effort, trial and error anything is possible.

Again....AWESOME!!!

[KashKenobi]

My god. Best dio setup ever. Really amazing stuff!

 

[LOPIE]

Now that is how you display a collection. Your Dio's don't compliment your figures instead your figures compliment your Dio's. As always great craftsmanship and attention to detail.
