This is a sci-fi thread, but it will also be a superb "natural location" diorama when I'm finished.

I'm been making this for my son, but since posting this on a couple of sites I've been approached to make a couple more as toys, so Hasbro look out!!!

I'm not sure if I would have the time to make more of these but who wouldn't love to do something like this for a living! I often find myself watching the Bonus bits on the Star Wars DVD just to drool over the ILM models.

I've been making this out of bits and pieces of building materials I'v had lying around. The only modelers item I've needed to buy is the polistyrene sheeting.

Hope you like what I've done so far.

I'm available for adoption!

your welcome and yes it was :)

Oh my God, you know, if you'd like a little brother for Steve, I'm available for adoption as well. :)

Seriously, that's looking fantastic!

Thanks a bunch SJF & Steve44.

I really appreciate your comments, the adoption remarks are seriously worrying the wife!

What with all the time I've been putting into my "little" project I've only had time to lurk about this site and not comment on other people's work, something I plan to rectify shortly.

I'll be finished this within the next day or so.

Hi everyone,

Well, this is my final set of images taken to commemorate almost 3 months of work, none of which would have been possible without the support from you guys!

Thank you all for posting. (God knows what I'm going to do next!)

awesome- better than all 3 of those prequels put together

I like all the hard work and detail you put into your setup.

I can see how the troopers get out of the walkers to the second level of the platform.

I can see how the troopers get from ground level to the second level.

What I don't see is any access from landing platform to the second level.

Aren't you missing an indication of a lift platrorm?
