No Droids Here!
Creating Interest
Hi everyone,
The focus of this diorama revolves around the escape pod and the dewback, so I have to make sure that they draw in the viewer.
The escape pod is nicely detailed, but flat on the inside. I wanted the pod to be open, so I had to create some visual interest in the interior.
I did this the old fashioned way by digging into my bits box and looking for bits and pieces to stick on. I am told that is how Lucas Film built the Millennium Falcon. If it’s good for the goose…..
Bits from tanks, calculator, shavers and jewelry.
An undercoat to tie it together.
The hatch went through the same process.
The small jets are solid and the larger ones have mold lines.
The picture shows how they the jets should be.
Funnelled out the small turrets.
Filled in the grooves with putty.That’s all for today. In the next post I will show the work on the Dewback.
Regards,
NR
