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 Phase 3 design and construction : go FULL TILT MOVIE ACCURACY INSANITY 🙂 Hahahaha. This is the fun I have today, not caring where it fits LOL. As long as it looks exactly like the movie set but still using the traditional dollar store items that you have come to know and love from my builds. I could have gone high tech and make it 100% ILM accurate, but then, many of you could not continue to build your own for your own home. What is the fun in that ? 🙂 Since then I try to apply this thinking to all my dioramas now and that is half the fun, to push the envelope each time. Makes me smile when I see the figures inside the final scene. X
The main memory I have of this scene is how much fun it was to make my custom figures and to sculpt fake legs and robes to make it look like they are sitting like in the movie. hasbro figures kneed did not bend at this time for the Jedi. The chairs were a challenge because it was hard to sculpt perfectly smooth surfaces in Super Sculpey. The molds turned out ok so I could make copies of the chairs. In the end, as huge as this room was, I ended up miscalculating the size and made it maybe 80% of what it should have been. I am pissed that the movers broke this diorama 🙁 I will have to make a new one again at a later in time. X
