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

[bbl]

Sometimes experiments fail. To get rid of the cutting marks, we blasted the plates, and the effect is really good, but the plates started curving. Now we will try again with 4 mm thick aluminum

Which one do you like and do you have any other feedback??

2nd one looks best to me. Not sure I like the Star Wars font (or whatever it's called) in the bottom two. It's cool, but given the choices, the top ones look cleaner. Of those two, the bottom one is best.

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Cool project.

2nd one looks best to me too, even though I prefer the Star Wars logo in the first one.

Here is a 2nd version based on some feedback. I plan to have it engraved on a black plate

I agree with Darth and TMG, 2nd one down for me, as well.

And that's an awesome price for the template, Jazz. Just have to think on whether it's something I'll follow through on but a display like this does really elevate the figures and makes it all very approachable, even for non-hobbyists, IMO. Going to do a little research into businesses here that would be able to fabricate something like this.

Edit: Of the new ones, I appreciate what you're going for with the top and it does look cool, but I still think the 2nd down on original list looks cleaner. I do like the "Star Wars" added to the 4th one down of this new list, though. That looks pretty slick and official.

4th version of the 2nd version for me looks great!

The 4th one here. Looks like it fits right in with the OT typesetting.

For the diorama I got a Han Solo Headsculpt. The Clipperking was right when he said the sculpt was 'soft'. But after many hours with needles, brush, pencil, paint and varnish, I think it's quite good! I also redid Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, R2D2 and Obi Wan to make them more life like and movie accurate

Oh Wow the parts for my Death Star diorama are coming along nicely. The frosted plexi glass still has protective foil on it but the aluminum walls look SWEEEEEET!! .... And huge. 100x 50cm

Great idea! Can't wait to see the finished product

I got my father to pick up the parts for the diorama while I was at work. Just spent the last few hours after dinner test fitting everything and gluing whatever I could. Seems to come together very nicely. Now, I can wire up the electronics and start priming whatever needs to be painted. This thing is huge. Check out my power drill for size comparison. In the second picture, you see the aluminum parts for the ceiling and the columns and the diorama. On the floor in the first picture you see a couple of control plates I am getting ready to paint.

Paint went great today!!

 

[stickman]

Sweet!!

 

[generalgrevious]

where you going to display this thing when your done with it

 

[JazzInc]

On top of my double Stuva ikea Unit in my home office. The top of that is 120x50cm

Glued the first aluminum to the plexiglass using Bison Max Repair. Looks like a Death Star ceiling to me!

 

[Invictus Sol]

Amazing, Jazz. Awesome project.

 

[Chakaman]

Wow. Pure class here, love it.
