Rear view of the scenery. The compartment below the street well be covered with plastic sheet. I will use it as a storrage for power supply and switches for the different electrical power circuits.

![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/1/0/0/808100-10976-80-720.jpg)
Something scratch built. I don´t know exactely what it is but it is visible in each landing bay shown in the original movie as well as in ep5 of the mandalorian. I think it is something like a crane/lifting device.

The painted and weathered device

Nice, Hopefully we will be treated to a Razor Crest in the not too distant future. I have heard that the docking bay he lands at in the Mandalorian is the same one that the Falcon blasted its way out of.

Update: Two new pics added. Seperate from weathering the buildings are ready. The area below the streetwill be used to store the power supply of the starship and diorama illumination. A real problem seems to b to find propper figures in this scale. First idea was to use gauge N figures and modify them but they look very small. I ordered gauge TT figures now. Maybe I will use a mixture of them. It is science fiction .

@ Treehugger: the outer dimension of the base frame is 335x220 mm

Ooh, I've always wanted to make such a diorama. I might want to copy this some time later. :] I got all kinds of led's and stuff for some other project (1:350 Enterprise NC1701A refit). Somehow I would ideally want to avoid relying on using styrene, which seems both expensive and a little too tedious imo for such large things.
12 July 2020, 17:47
![](/profiles/img/28845-385-s.jpg)
What materials would you recommend using for building something like this?
12 July 2020, 17:48
![](/profiles/img/10976-s.jpg)
I used high density styrol. I made templates of plywood for the circle shaped parts. I bought a hot wire cutter to cut it.
12 July 2020, 18:01
![](/profiles/img/10976-s.jpg)
Some pics of the actual status added. I stopped the diorama part now in order to start with the space ship. Besides this I will continue to cast, scratch build and paint some dio equipment like vaporators, droids or boxes and crates which is a very time consuming process.

![](/profiles/img/31679-620-s.jpg)
I'd say the mystery device is probably a Binary Load Lifter, a lot Like Binary Moisture Vaporators in many ways.

Such fun to see. :] I wonder what the surface texture is like in the movies. I haven't checked.
4 August 2020, 11:05
![](/profiles/img/10976-s.jpg)
@ Treehugger: I don´t know if it is like in he movies. I did it my way and I am satisfied with the result.

Started to build the space ship and modified some figures. New pics uploadeds

did you print the stormtroopper yourself, or got it from somewhere? looks really good

Wow Christian, that comes out stunning so far. I much admire all the nice details you created in that scale. VEry very nicely done. I am looking forward to the next steps 🙂
Cheers, Christian

Alright! Glad to see some progress on this amazing build! The Outrider looks great! Man, those figures are tiny..
20 February 2021, 20:57
![](/profiles/img/10976-s.jpg)
Danke Roland! Die Figuren hat ein netter Kollege der IPMS Austria gedruckt.
20 February 2021, 21:02
![](/profiles/img/10976-s.jpg)
Thanks JD and Daniel. Indeed they are really tiny. It needs a lot of patience to liberate them from the printing structure.
20 February 2021, 21:11
![](/profiles/img/10976-s.jpg)
@ Spanjaard: Printing quality is much better than the Stormtroopers i bought from shapeways.
20 February 2021, 22:02
![](/profiles/img/21096-573-s.jpg)
thanks for the info.
those are from a friend, right, not available for the public?

Absolut Genial, nicht nur für Star Wars Fans und mal ein anderes Raumschiff als der Millenium Falke 🙂
21 February 2021, 08:24
![](/profiles/img/10976-s.jpg)
@ Spanjaard: yes, he did the printing. But the printing files have been down loaded from "Thingiverse" and scaled down by him.

Just found out Revell are doing the Razorcrest in 1/72, now you'll have to do it all again twice the size😉
21 February 2021, 16:39
![](/profiles/img/10976-s.jpg)
Nice idea but this might be to large. The main criteria before each diorama I build is the question where to store the finished diorama. This has a base size of 22x33cm which allows to store it in my display cabinet and use my standard ransportation boxes.

Ein supercooles Projekt Christian. Da bin ich schon sehr auf die fertige Szene gespannt.

Danke Stefan. Bin im Moment noch am Figuren umbauen und warte noch auf ein paar Figuren, die mir ein lieber Freund der IPMS Austria druckt. Dann gehts in den Endspurt.

Well done ....lol. Where did you find your "Pit Droid" ? I've found them a little hard to get in Australia.
29 March 2021, 03:47
![](/profiles/img/10976-s.jpg)
@Ron: They are 3 d printed by a friend who owes a 3D printer. The files are from Thingiverse and he scaled them down

I am not at all anyway in Scifi or Star wars etc.. but what a wonderful scene in that tiny scale.

This is just lovely. I'm no big Star Wars nut either and agree with Daniel... I don't think I need to be as there's much to admire in each image - the work involved. I found it intriguing on each click... And of course your obvious artistic skill also. Magnificent work! ?

A well-deserved round of applause for Christian!? This is one of the best Star Wars themed dioramas I have seen in a long time... a long time. In fact you have inspired me to crawl out of the Great pit of Karkoon, out beyond the Dune Sea, from the clutches of the Saarlacc monster. And for that, I salute you Sir.?
