1/6 Tatooine Enviroment

[Hewer]

Hey guys, This is a display that I have been working on for a while and a great thanks to Hemble for the advice.
I used 2 pieces of 12mm MDF sheets which were joined. I then covered the wall with plaster filler from the hardware store. Once dried I gave it a wash with a dark brown and then
a drybrush over with a lighter brown to give the weathered look. The sand was dusted over PVA wood glue and plaster was used to build it up along the wall and step.
The door was made out of 2 sheets of 3mm MDF with the top sheet cut out to the look that I wanted then glued together. I then spayed it black and then just
dry brushed different colours to get the look that I wanted. The door step was the underside of an old computer monitor which was spayed black and washed over
with brown. The 2 pipes were bits that I found in the plumbing section. The control panel was made from my bits bin with the security droid housing being a toothpaste lid with a
bit of wire and one of the missle tips from Hasbro's Darth Maul fighter. After doing this I can't wait to start my next one. I threw in a few figures to show the scale.

An awesome diorama! This will look great with the new sandtrooper!

 

[Crimsonbob]

Great stuff i love it I love the use of the toothbrush end for the door panel thats genius, i love it when people do things like that. You'd better watch out Dorgmal might kidnap you and make you his dio building slave

 

[papa-alpha-charlie]

looks great. love the "peep hole" droid.

 

[Hewer]

Thanks guys. I love Dorgmal's creations and would love to work with him but the comute from Australia might be a killer.
Here's a few more pics with some of my Sideshow collection.

Looks great, well done!

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

Hewer....
chuffin fantastic, I love it when I first saw it and now the sand is down it looks even better.

Great pics to. I always wanted to do an outside shot with The Mos Eisley Street scene I did. But the problem with living in the UK is that I would get it all set up, then it would rain. LOL.

Love the close up shots to. I just love the door, and the mat and the texture of the walls, hell Hewer I love it all.


Great work.

Hi Hewer!

I hope it's Ok to use this pic - If not, I will delete the file immediately.

But it just too sweet a shot not to use! Hope you like it.

Is there any more wall space left and right? I've got a whole market place full of people (and Aliens) who want in!

Thanks for sharing a superb set up - more pics please!

DG
