Large Mos Eisley diorama TPM

[thebeans]

This display is intended for an under tv/entertainment centre area with LED flood lighting as well as the model being lit with house window lights and door locks, as many figures 14-15 .So here we go starting with the main buildings and general layout constructed from Styrofoam boards. The area layout will be 90cm x40cm ( the size of the under TV space ).

Great beginnings! I am making Mos Eisley city as well out of lego. This reminds me a lot of a 3D print of Ben Kenobi's home on Tatooine.

Keep those colours! It'll be like Star Wars meets Barbarella!

Next up is the doorway tile surrounds and building texture, i'm using thin foam for the doors and tiles, cutting each tile individually for all doorways of which there will be four

You didnt have to wait long

I love it.

But—to please George Lucas—you will need to have a gigantic Ronto butt that crosses from right to left and completely obscures the diorama. You could do this with some kind of carousel mechanism, I suppose.

Door locks are scratch built from basic plastic junk plus phone and laptop guts. Fibre optics will be used to light these.
More building texturing done and a sign for above the door of the bar.

This is looking fantastic! I always love seeing Tatooine dioramas in the foam stage, so cool and creative. Love all the greeblies.

Time to get things more interesting with some accessories to the scene, these space beer kegs are made from Kinder egg pods. Power unit thingy things for outside of the dwellings are again phone and laptop guts.

Aircon unit for outside of the bar is again made from random plastic stuff like this inhaler casing camera parts and stuff.
A table and a stool with some glasses will be placed somewhere along side of it

 

[centech]

This is sick. Can't wait to see finished product.

Lighting arrangement work , door locks are FO strand, window lights are warm white LEDS. I've put a mesh material between the LEDS and the window openings to reduce the heavy glare that i didn't like

 

[skahtul]

That looks amazing, nice work!

 

[Stormy320]

You’re capturing the look

 

[stussy]

Not much of an update, I've added a moisture vapourator type structure and started a legless Gonk power generator, it's basically two printer ink cartridge containers with greeblies.
