Hi all -
Long-time member/lurker dls712 here… finally starting a thread dedicated to the 1/6 scale displays I’ve been working on over the years. Some recent coaxing from Enaud, Chakaman, and Natedog got me to get off my duff to get this thread rolling.
Been in the “new” house for 12-ish years. Have been working on the basement 1/6 scale display area since moving in. A few items were made at our previous place - been at this hobby for over 20 years. Star Wars, Indiana Jones, 1950’s Classic Sci-Fi, Hollywood Icons, Marvel & DC Superheroes, Ghostbusters, Universal Monsters, Men in Black, Pirates of the Caribbean, Back to the Future, Classic Westerns, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Classic TV are all in play.
Pretty much everything is still a work-in-process. I tend to start on something, get it to the point where I can tell that I’ll be satisfied with the outcome, then abandon it for a while to move on and start something else. Sometimes it is literally years before I get back to working on a project again.
My plan is to have everything “done” in the next 10 years or so.
Cleaned up the display area over the Christmas break - took a bunch of pictures while everything was tidy.
Let’s start with Star Wars…
The project so far:
Custom built Snowspeeder, transom, Gonk Droid, and "snow walls." All in a built-into-the-wall space.
Still to do:
Finish the building of all of the above, paint & weather everything, put together some Hoth Rebel Troopers and Pilots, add some more ice structures & equipment for atmosphere, and finalize the lighting. Then seal it all behind glass and frame it up.
