1/72 Hoth Echo Base Hangar diorama

man you're not kidding! Finding figures for this has been a chore to say the least. I think if I get good enough with the design aspect of the 3D printer I just got, I'm going to binge on SW figures so the stuff will be out there in the future. I did try the micro as well, yep...too small...like 1/87 scale? Too bad they couldn't have just done them in 1/72, right?

There was a seated figure of Leia in Hoth gear for the Fine Molds 1/72 Falcon

I would love more true 1/72 standing figures for Star Wars

Micromachine figures are close, but a little on the small side

cave white1.JPGcave white2.jpegNot sure what it was, but shooting white wall texture from a can on this foam gave the texture a slight blue/green hue...took 4 coats of Krylon satin white to get it completely white. Anyway, I think, it's white enough.
 
Thanks fellas!, two of the opinions which I hold in high regard. Thanks for the :thumbsup. I wanna get this right so input is always welcome, even if it's a critique. I haven't been able to put in as much time as I'd like on it, but hopefully I can step it back up come the weekend :confused

I'm there with you... Have been distracted by the PG Falcon and FM Slave 1... But I will be back to the docking bay tonight. I'm itching to get it done!
 
I admire what both of you are doing and sharing in your respective build threads .
Also a little bit envious of your seemingly consistent enthusiasm and progress on these wonderful projects . :p
I’ve been plodding away on my Deago MF for 2yrs+ for a variety of reasons , within and out of my control , and during this period my ‘ mojo ‘ for working on it tends to ebb & flow .:facepalm

It’s why I’m grateful for eventually signing up for membership here , it not only allows me to witness fellow enthusiasts work , but , at times I feel encouraged and privileged to interact with them . :thumbsup
Gaining new insights , knowledge and inspiration along the way . All aspects of which I’m trying to apply with my own builds - currently and into the future .;)

:cheersGed
 
I almost got a little misty there Ged, that's a hell of a nice thing to say and I appreciate the sentiment. Have you got a thread on your Deago? We'd ALL love to see it! I got one in the closet...6 boxes of it! I think the upgrades I want for it are more than I paid for the entire kit... on sale! Hopefully by the time I get round to it I'll have some skill with the 3D printer and I can scavenge the files and print all of it myself. But then there's the PE set too, I forget how much it was but I'm sure it's a spendy bugger :lol
btw Ged, you keep coming around my friend, we love having you here, for myself, it wouldn't be the same without ya brother :thumbsup

echo wall cable.jpgshould I go with a secondary slightly smaller hanging about 1/4 below...or just the one? I'm going to fix the lights just below this cable and wire them from the backside with regular red/black
Opinions please:thumbsup
 
round house observ1.JPGround house observ2.jpegwall cables1.jpegwall cables2.jpegso, I've decided that opening in the upper left of the round house is like another control or observation room, so I knocked this together with a couple of 3mm LED's and stuck a few of the folks in there for a photo op. Also, I conferred with Korban today on the wall cables and this is what I got so far. Need another length of the smaller wire to finish the second strand, and I still need to do the light fixtures which will be wired from the back rather than have the fat white ones being "live".
Hope everyone had a good weekend :thumbsup
