Nice detail!!! 1/144 tank parts? or from the kit already?

Thanks! That's the Bandai Perfect Grade 1/72 Millennium Falcon kit, underbelly shot.

Getting some more work done on the diorama layout. I thought I ordered foam board but I accidentally ordered 3mm styrene sheets... Lol... I'm actually glad I did. It will make the structure more solid and less prone to failure.

Here's a few more shots with the stand-in Falcon, Boba Fett, and Jabba the Hut:

That is going to be pretty epic!

Also, where did you get the styrene sheets from and how large where they?

I need some large sheets for some things as well. I was going to use foam core, but as you mentioned, styrene seems little more long term durable

I got mine on ebay. Here's a link to the exact ones I purchased:

Pardon Our Interruption...

It's styrene PVC foam board.

I think Sintra/Foamex is foamed PVC. It isn't styrene. So you can't use the same cements on it.

I used my cement I always use for styrene on the ones I bought and worked just the same.

That's cool. What cement?

That's a big diorama...!!!!

I got my Bantha and dewback in... They aren't fully repainted yet... But I think they look good. Thoughts?

lol... Thanks, mate! I'm getting a 3d printer, too. So that will be a nice tool to help cut some costs and allow me to add even more figures and creatures! I still need to get Age of Plastic's ultra package for the detail pieces of the actual Docking Bay.

Here's an updated picture with the completed Bantha and Dewback.

They look much better repainted, and they look pretty good size wise

 

[korben44]

Agreed... They will fit nicely with the whole scene.
