- Step 141 >> If you know me, it's no surprise I want to make the most movie accurate version possible 🙂 if you look at the film, there are 4 hoses not 2. So i got an extra Bacta Luke and removed the hoses from the top. I cut off the tips of the hoses so I could glue it to the Tank.
-
- Step 142 >> I also removed the 2 supports with my X-acto blade. Be careful when cutting thick plastic like this. You don't want to loose a finger - or worse.
-
- Step 143 >> These 2 little pieces will work perfectly to secure my 2 extra hoses.
-
- Step 144 >> I use my Hot Glue Gun to attach the plastic extension to the lid. See the White Arrow. You can place it where you want but I find 1 notch is just right. The Black Arrow shows us where the hoses end is attached using a squirt of Hot Glue.
-
- Step 145 >> Here we have an accurate depiction of the Movie Bacta Tank. Well Almost... 🙂
-
- Step 146 >> Oh, a top view of the alterations I did. You can see the extensions don't even look added. Almost as if Hasbro had made the Bacta tank this way from the start.
-
- Step 147 >> Looking at the movie I noticed the colours of the hoses were varied. Hoses #1 and #4 are White. #2 is Silver and #3 is dark grey. Now I am happy 🙂 All that's needed now is Bacta Medical Gel 🙂
-
- Step 148 >> The miracle of hair gel 🙂 It's water based so it won't harm your figure anymore then water. plus check it out it is the same colour as the tank. In the movie when Luke is IN the tank the water is BLUE, when he is OUT of the tank, the water is PINK. I tried a blue gel to illuminate the tank and because it is pink plastic, it looks totally CaCa. So we will pretend it's Pink all the time 🙂
-
- Step 149 >> Fill up the tank with your hair gel. Notice anything? Look at those cool air bubbles in suspended animation !!! Looks cool even without Luke.
-
- Step 150 >> Now Gently push Luke into the tube. What do you think? Pretty neat eh? Really looks like he is floating in liquid. Now lets see what he looks like lit from below.
-
- Step 151 >> WOW, Now this is fantastic. The picture actually doesn't do it justice. The lighting is less harsh then this and when looking at in in a dim room, it looks awesome. Not that this photo looks bad - Heh heh. Well our Bacta Tank Medical Center is now complete. Be sure to come see it at Celebration II 's Diorama Workshop. It will be on display and you will be the first to see it. For those who can't make the show, I will have pictures in the regular diorama section when I get back.
-
- Step 152 >> When you add the rest of the figures, it looks just like the movie 🙂 SOOOOO COOL 🙂 If you want to see more Diorama Photos of the Bacta Medical Center visit the Gallery section or click on this link... https://dioramaworkshop.com/diorio-diorama-retro-niubniub-echo-base-bacta-medical-chamber/
