Post by BobaFett420 »

Hey guys and gals, I'm in the progress of making a diorama and I'm in desperate need of any input or ideas you guys may have! keep in mind the limited space I have to work with and I want to keep this cheap to make preferably using household materials here is a link to my you tube video:

You could always consider printing out some background images for the rear and side walls, from place like http://www.erikstormtrooper.com/backgrnd.htm

some sand and messy putty for the walls and floors..and some sort of drink bottle part for the drink dispenser.

id be collecting lots of little plastic rods and nick nacks for your set building.

could use a blue rtv silicon for the drinks with a clear plastic tube.

not many ideas sorry :) I think its all gonna be about finding usefull plastic bits to harvest parts from.

you could also easily add in a simple led setup and have lighting on the walls and around the drink dispenser. I could help you with your wiring diagram and parts list for that np if needed.

Hey mate,

If you havent seen it already, Niubniub's Diorama Site is a great place for inspiration: http://www.niubniubsuniverse.com/diorama/diomenu.asp

Ive always wanted to make a toy catalogue style diorama, I even started modding a OTC Falcon to have a movie accurate hold just like Niubniub's albeit much smaller and then Hasbro had to go and make the BMF... which I still havent got yet :(

Cheers
