This is the shortcut to all that’s available on the site related to Diorama construction. Just find the diorama you want to build and instantly see what links are available to help you with that build. If the category is in a YELLOW BOX, then you can click on the word link to bring you to that construction item. If you see a red SORRY it means I have not yet had time to put this on the site or it doesn’t exist because it is one of my older diorama designs. You can always EMAIL ME and let me know… Frank, can you add “YOUR WISH” to the Tutorials Speed Link index please ? your feedback could help me what to prioritize next. X
Have fun with your construction. If you took photos of our finished Diorama, please SHARE them with us in the VISITORS DIORAMAS gallery. You can read up on how to do this on the VISITORS SUBMISSION INFO page. Do not underestimate your power to inspire other artists to start building when admiring your work. X

Hi Frank – are you going to be uploading your old tutorials – with decals – have had some fun trying to make some of your fantastic previous designs (and want more new ones) – although at the moment limited on your new site (including limited decals)
Love the work – from the UK – unfortunately never get to see the things you do at the conventions.
Hi Mike, YES YES and YES 🙂 Everything that was previously on site, will be put back in with the NEW Design Style and PDF modifications. I am aiming for 100% content back online by beginning of summer, after that, It’s ALL NEW content !!! So stay tuned, it’s so much fun to be back in full force. Maybe one day I will get the crew to do a EUROPE Diorama Builders 😛 You never know.. Frank
Jim, thanks for the kind words, Yes I want to post EVERYTHING from the past here on the new site so I can move on to NEW builds and videos. My goal is to have that all done before summer starts. I had to concentrate on my aunts estate last year, now that’s wrapping up, I can get back to here and get you the tutorials, blueprints and decals. I have YET to build the tantive IV hallways, its on my top 5 wish list of new dioramas to build. I only did the part where Leia gives R2 the plans, not the white hallways.
Hey Vlad, I don’t collect those, so very unlikely in the near future, This year I want to catch up on 17 years of Convention instructions that I never got around to making due to time/technology at the time. Never say No though 🙂
Love your new site, but miss the old diorama decals and tutorials. Will you be adding them to this site? Also I downloaded the Star Destroyer Bridge Diorama but since there is no tutorial for it, I had some questions.
What size foam board do I glue them to?
How do I make it?
How do you make the pit?
hey Jim, thanks for the compliment, and yes I know 🙂 I have so much back log of cool stuff. I was stuck with my aunts estate stuff last year but that is wrapping up, so I am hoping I have the time now to place ALL that was from past here on the new site so I can move on to NEW dioramas and videos.
As for the Star destroyer bridge, when I did it originally it was for a shelf display and only half of it. I would want to revisit that and do NEW decals and more movie accurate set. Its on my top 5 to do. But in the meantime yes, I should have the original build decals, blueprints etc on in a few weeks, I will push it up the ladder for you.
Will you be putting the Hoth Rebel Command Center decals back up. You had them on your old site, now I’m wanting to try to use them in my projects, but they’re not here.
Im starting to build my own imperial base.. I was looking for the computer decals from the red computer room from Death Star in New Hope, but couldnt find them on your website…are they still available?
Hey Graeme, not yet, I need to deluxify it before putting it back, the major error from the previous version used at my Celebration 3 workshop (2005) is that in the film there are 8 consoles and I missed 1, have only 7 in my original design. The good news is that right after I complete my 2023 Deluxified Trash Compactor, this Red Room as I call it is my next project, so it should be made available with luck just around Christmas 2023. If not, then first thing in January 2024. You very welcome and thank you for the compliments. Frank.

Hi Frank,
Love your work. Are you still going to post your old old tutorials – with decals like you said in Michael Butche’s JUNE 15, 2018 Post?
Thank you
Jim
P.S. Do you have a decal for the interior of the Tanttive IV Blockade Runner?
