Looks like thin hardboard (aka masonite or MDF) glued to curved profiles made of thicker MDF. On the right side, the partial archway looks like it's held in place by screws.

Nothing further to add....

Next step....painting and weathering.

Looks really great!

 

[Solo_bones]

Nice!! What did you use for the exterior media??

 

[flying dutchman]

Done.....I will post some pics in less lit conditions and as part of diotower no. 3. Furthermore, I bought Yoda's hut so a Dagobah diorama will complete tower no. 2.

I'm not sure what you mean but it's all made of MDF covered with plaster, the ventholes are pvc pipes.....and the door is cut plastic sheet. Painting and weathering are wet- and drywash paintlayers.

Looks fantastic, its hard to comprehend just how big that dio is

 

[flying dutchman]

Diotowers no. 1, 2 and 3 in one shot......:yess:

 

[Pixelpiper]

[Chakaman]

Damn impressive set up my friend. The attention to all the details is fantastic. Super stuff.

One of my absolute favourite 1/6th dios! I hope to someday put something together as well like that (I've got Antilles and three other rebel troopers as well as the Vader and two stormies-- a third Medi stormie will be used as the dead canon fodder one). Love it!

Really your dioramas are great. The craftmanship is astounding.

Shaping up to be another masterpiece!

If you put RESIZE tags around the images you can make them scale to any size you want in the forum.

Example (400 pixels width):
then the image with IMG tags, then the close resize tag.

If you go to ADVANCED post mode, you will see a button on the bottom right of the toolbar above the post area with two small blue triangles. That's the resize tag button. If you highlight your image you can then press that button, type the pixel width and it will surround your selection with the tags automatically.

Images also resize automatically as the browser window is resized, unlike the old forum where they would force the page to be wider than the browser window.

yay! Dutchman is back with a new build!

 

[Lance Quazar]

New to the forum. Man, these dios are incredible and the fact that they're such large scale just blows my mind. Amazing work!!!
