As seen at STAR WARS CELEBRATION II • MOS EISLEY DIORAMA BUILDERS
Indianapolis, IN, USA from May 3 to 5 2002
production celebration II CONSTRUCTION DAY ONE
Welcome to the OFFICIAL Star Wars Celebration II Mos Eisley Diorama Builders workshop site featuring my EXCLUSIVE CREW COVERAGE not seen anywhere else on the web.
.
The one that started it all…
.
A little convention arts and crafts test that Mary Franklin at Lucasfilm allowed me to produce and organise way back in 2002. I was 38 and had dabbled in dioramas for a couple of years already and my first site NiubNiubsUniverse.com but nothing prepared me for the adventure that was to come and BECOME a staple for more than 20 years and counting ?
.
SORRY for the LOW QUALITY of some of the images, they are from mixed medium including early pre-HD video stills. If only we had today’s tech back then ?
.
The thumbnail gallery below shows you ALL of the images found in the HD GALLERY. If you want to view the photos in FULL SIZE, please click on the blue button link below to warp to the HD PAGES that include the full size HD IMAGES as well as my PERSONAL COMMENTARY description for each photo. Pages are divided into blocks of 20 imagess. Use the < GO BACK 20 and GO NEXT 20 > blue buttons to navigate the convention gallery. If you have any questions or confused, you can email me dioramaworkshop.com@gmail.com. Enjoy. Frank.

LOOKING BACK…
FRANK: This was the FIRST and because of all of you guys, not the last. I never imagined that it would go on for so many years and that I would make such dear friends I now call family. SO many stories, where to start LOL For sure I could not have done this without my dearest of friends Lucie, who I have known since University. She was my co-pilot and videographer and just awesome. One lady asked if we were married, I said no, she said she thought for sure because of all the bickering and shouting we were doing at each other LOL.
.
This is also the convention that I met Jamie Follis, AKA SILLOF on the custom circuit, and my Diorama Number One, he has been by my side helping EVERY SINGLE Diorama Builders since this very first adventure. Star Wars fans are THE BEST. So much so that our test run if you will, was so popular, that we ran out of art supplies the morning of day 2. We were the little room that no one knew was there, but once discovered, kept the fans inside building.
