That's too cool. Where'd you get the pieces to modify the little green guy? I'd love to do this to mine.

I only have a few because I eventually get tired of them and recycle. Right now I have Indiana Jones, a Stormtrooper, and a modified Illusive Yoda.

I've made a few changes 
so these pics were taken at different times.... it's still in progress....
The wall panels are portable. I actually have another short section, like in the move that goes underneath these and raises up the whole thing 14". I just can't use them at home. It's. o.k. because they're designed to stand on their own as a corner and I put a black ABS floor down for photos at conventions and such.
I still need about 7 more mannequins so I can unbox the other costumes ... well... I finally have my Fett mannequin coming. Hopefully will be here in the next few days.

Wow, all the collections are sweet. I especially like your display MonCal. Can you give more details on the materials and how you built the walls? I love your Tusken.

Man, Mon Cal I love your display of the pieces not to mention the pieces themselves- Beautifully done sir.
I collect mostly older stuff but I have a few pieces around the game- These pics were taken by folk at the last prop party- The items on the table in the foreground aren't mine-

Hey that looks familiar... It was a great treat to see your collection in person (I was that drunk canadian guy at your house in July). I had to repost my pics (see post #14 in this thread). LOVED playing that Star Wars upright...too bad I still suck at it.

I know as soon as I get the other 7 mannequins I'll be looking for more space hehe.... I think there is star wars stuff in every room of the house. I don't know how much longer the wife will let me get away with that
As for the wall panels, I made frames with 1x4's and cut 1/4" plywood for the surface and cut more 1/4" plywood for the raised portions. I made the louvers by cutting strips of .04 styrene and nailing them on after painting them gray. The frames connect together with carriage bolts and wingnuts so it's easy to relocate. I made a corner piece that I start with by bolting to the shorter 14" panels going 90 degrees off the corner. Then I stack the larger panels starting at the corner piece, bolting them all in place. I lay black ABS on the floor at conventions and tape down to the floor with black duct tape. It took a while to scale it all and look for most of the panels used in ANH. This might be tough to understand. I wish I would've taken progress pics but I was rushed to build the display in about 4 days after work and one Sunday. I don't plan to move it for a while ... maybe halloween to the air and space museum in Denver. .. where C1 was ... if not, then it'll be next April at starfest. Then I could take some progress pics of the assembly.
