1/6 Docking Bay 65

[Dinosoar Daz]

Hi everyone. I thought you might like to see a diorama I’m working on at the moment. I’ve really been enthused by all the customs that have appeared in this forum. So even though I have never done anything like this before, it seemed like too much fun not to have a go.

So given my skill set I know I should have started much smaller, but with another Sandtrooper on the way I really wanted to try and recreate one of my favourite Star Wars scenes. However, at 1/6 scale Docking Bay 94 was going to be over 6’ wide so Docking Bay 65 is born........

Looks great so far!! You chose an excellent shot to showcase Sandies, and at the end of the day, you'll be able to display any Tatooine figs there. Another project to follow. WooHoo!

Oh wow!

We should organise a freaks custom convention, where everone can get together with all these amazing 1:6 pieces.

We would have most of Moss Eisely!!!

Love the look of this already.

I'd be sooooooo up for a freaks convention. Imagine trying to get through customs with suitcases of Star Wars "dollies" and sheets of MDF and polyfilla

Again, thanks guys for your encouragement.

[Darth_IMPoor]

Outstanding! This thread is hoppin' lately!!

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

BRILLIANT Daz.

I can picture it now with you sandies in

I love it and I love the new sub division....

 

[Dinosoar Daz]

Plastering is all done

A big thank you to Dorgs for the plan of the blast door

 

[the dude person]

looks promising, can't wait to see more!

What kind of plaster stuff did you use?

 

[Darth_IMPoor]

I'm curious too. I may have a small project that it looks perfect for.

 

[Dinosoar Daz]

Hi guys, its just household DIY filler fixed with PVA glue and water. Kinda wished I'd mixed some sand in with it too for a bit more texture.

I'm now at the painting stage and my newb status is really shining through. I just can't get the colour I want. It's been yellow...peach (don't ask)...yellow again. I always seems to dry much darker than I expect, but I'm learning heaps and more importantly still enjoying it.

This is awesome. Great work so far Daz. Cant wait to see it finished with some troopers posed in there.

DG, you're a good sport. They did rip the pee out of you over that.

Here is another update

That's awesome Daz! Keep it up.
