You can CLICK on ANY PHOTO above to see it Full Size. Sorry for the low res quality. These Classic NiubNiub era photos were taken way before high speed internet and today’s smart phones and HD cameras were available. But I thought still fun to see my history than not at all right ? 🙂 Use the side arrows to scroll through the photo gallery. X

This scene was part of my first phase dioramas, where I didn’t bother with movie accuracy as long as it fit on the 14″ deep wall shelves of my basement diorama room. Having never made dioramas before (apart from model kits as a kid) this technique using simple dollar store items and beginner techniques was a great way to slowly dip my toes into the Diorama hobby ? X
The main memory I have of this scene is how wonderfull Laundry Detergent works as snow 🙂 and it doesn’t get sticky or make the figures change color. The rest was just Wire mesh shapes for the cave. Plaster bandages cover the mesh. 2 coats of plaster of paris are applied and sponged when almost dried to give texture to walls. Off white/blue tinted latex paint is applied to give highlights. Simple and looks great with your Imperial action figures. X
