I’m not really a fan of a lot of the stands I’ve seen, the ones I do are a little out of my prise range. Also I don’t get much enjoyment out of just buying something if I can make it myself.
the ones I find most appealing look more in universe, such as the sabertrio workbench or quest designs corridor pattern.
I saw a tutorial on YouTube for a budget version using a decor floor grate and stair gate banister adaptors, I went ahead and bought the parts to make that. As it’s something that’s already been done by someone else, I won’t repost here - but it did get me thinking.
I started to research stands that resemble in universe locations - and had some ideas of my own that I’m in the process of planing out.
I’ve seen maybe a couple of commercially produced ice whompa cave stands and I read something about a there being a Yoda/Dagobah style one that was rare - but have been totally unable to find any images - if anyone has any more info on these it would be helpful.
so far I have 3 stands planned out.
1. a horizontal Mustafar stand - similar to quest design / floor grate version, essentially the base will be a light box with fluorescent red/orange ‘lava’ with black volcanic rock - maybe a flicker effect?
2nd is a vertical desk/shelf stand with a Dagobah theme. I plan to make this ‘swampy’ in a rustic wooden bowl (important, you’ll understand why as I explain) with the upright support looking like tree/buttress roots - I’ve been looking at vivarium tutorials for this. I then want to use backflow incense to create a swamp mist effect - I’m not sure if this will include a back light, someone I’ll need to test, may look too tacky with a light - if you get my jist.
lastly (at least for now) I’m thinking of a wall mounted stand similar to the stone carving from the fallen order promo - I know the runes are ancient sith/force user and the alphabet is now available - it bugs me that the writings on the carving doesn’t translate to anything (the writing on the sith dagger used to locate the way finder does) so I’m not sure if I want to copy it or to have it say something else.
I’ll update with images of my progress as I go if I come up with any other ideas. Hopefully it’s something people will find interesting.
if anyone has any more info any other stands of this nature then please add a link in the comments - I’d love to see them.
or if you just want to let me know your thoughts on this.
