Good day everyone, and WHAT A DAY … I can Finally Officially talk about our upcoming return to the Celebration conventions with a BRAND NEW – BESPIN theme Diorama Builders workshop !!!
X
What an adventure this past month has been, Let me tell you how THIS Celebration Diorama Builders will be different in a HUGE HUGE way compared to years past… Especially with Hasbro asking to join forces together for the ULTIMATE FAN DIORAMA EXPERIENCE !!! Read more details about this on the FLOOR PLAN LAYOUT page.

So just before Christmas it started with me chatting with the crew – “who want’s to return ? DO we do another ?” resounding YES from everyone. Then, emailing Lucasfilm that we will return if they want us to. YES. Perfect Excellent… what will be our theme? what haven’t we built before ? Clone Wars? Dagobah? Bespin? Coruscant? the choice was easy… BESPIN. With its multi level hallways and city skyscrapers it was full of possibilities. So I started doing the early sketches and prototypes. (I will be posting these as we get closer to Celebration for you to get an idea of what the build will look like – perhaps even help you in your choice before even arriving in Anaheim)

Here is a quick peak at the MANY MANY did I say MANY ? 🙂 Bespin possibilities…
- It's hapening - keep coming back EVERY DAY to see more and more Details of what to expect in California next April. Unless you read this next year after the convention ;p
- Main construction obviously is the Bespin Hallways. There will be 3 levels to the diorama. The first TOP level is all the WHITE hallways...
- Which includes these 4 way connecting halls. You can build a center statue or not, each will be unique to it's builder.
- The cornerstones or Book Ends of the first level are these enormous circular halls, that connect all 3 depths of the level 1 design. (see the PROTOTYPES DESIGNS pages)
- Some hallways will include stairs if you want that option, to give them added dimensions when placed along another fans creation.
- Many doors will lead to Dining Rooms, The Ugnauts do love to party 🙂
- Level 2 is the prison deck, including rows of RED Hallways.
- Level 2 will also house several torture chamber prisoner cells.
- As well as a few Ugnaut furnace rooms. Perfect for all the broken/missing parts figure donations 🙂
- Entering the basement 3rd core level are the archway halls. These lead to the Father Luke Duel. OOPS - SPOILER ALERT 😛
- Bottom 3rd level includes the core window chambers. This will be a FUN build.
- Access to the 3rd and bottom level, is this iconic light tunnel construction.
- Pre-cut before the show to save time, the Carbon Freeze will be a group project that will have everyone attaching the pieces together. This will be Awesome project.
- Jedi Duel in the Reactor Core will be precut - and fans can help me - Frank Diorio - assemble and place the decals and build the scaled catwalk. Should we pole out EVERY HOLE to make it LIGHT UP ? 🙂
- For those not wanting to build a inside hallway - you will have the chance to create one of the various sized skyscraper that will truly bring Bespin to Life !!!
- No outside city could exist without a bunch of Landing Platforms.
- A wider view of the cityscape, these refereals should help the fans to get the Bespin architecture feel and bring the movie to life right before our eyes.
- Last but not least, The connection from the main halls to the outside skyscrapers are the long row of balconies. This will add a movie realism when looking from OUT to IN or IN to OUT.
