This cool looking diorama is made by Aldo Khalid a.k.a Godoftoy. One of the most respected guy in toys and hobbies community in Indonesia. Also an owner of ZERO Toys Museum Bandung. I really admire his detail efforts and lot of passions that he puts in this diorama. This diorama stands for itself and no doubt about it. Complete with blinking L.E.D this diorama looked awesome and so realistic. If you're fanboy enough you could notice that these Sideshow 1:6 scale Obi Wan Kenobil and Han Solo figures are repainted. The artist behind these repainted figure was DUABELAS Kitbasher. Check out his awesome works by clicking the link provide.

Star Wars Lars Garage Diorama Part II

This book is my all time reference book. Every pages always make me drooled. The illustrations are done amazingly awesome! One of my "bible" reference in making Star Wars diorama.

After a view corrections on the back wall color the diorama is ready to go. I'm happy with the result and really look forward to photograph this diorama together with the 1:6 scale C-3PO & R2-D2 figures.

I test shot this diorama for color reference. I oftenly photographed my diorama for color composition and correction. As you can see I used flash light in this picture.

I placed 1:6 scale Hasbro C-3PO figure for coloring match. I do this for color composition, it's just my method of coloring. Also I used color composition for camera wise. As you can see this is a shot with available light.

This finishing stage is 80% done.

Here are the production picture series of my Star Wars Lars Garage diorama. As you can see in this stage the finishing process was almost done. I used this Star Wars: Complete Locations book for scenery and color reference. This DK's publishing book is one of my many favorite books that I oftenly use for "bible" in making Star Wars diorama. The cross section detail illustrations done by Hans Jensen & Richard Chasemore are amazingly awesome!

Star Wars Lars Garage Diorama Part I

This stage shows the finishing step, preparation for base coat painting.

This stage shows the transformation of details on the back wall.

Some of Star Wars freaks would notice that detail parts on the back wall is not featured in the original movie. True! I improvised the scenery due to the lack of space of display. I had to manuever the design a little bit. Also you can notice the circumference of the base also smaller than the original scenery in the movie.

Notice that I alreaday attached the back wall. I used a 1mm sheet of ABS plastic for easy bending.

The early days of construction. I scratch built this diorama from a 3mm of PVC sheet.

Here are the pictures from my recent diorama projects that I've done in several weeks ago. As you can see some of the pictures are the project's production process. From scratch build to finish. The figure that I used for scaling is 1:6 scale Hasbro's C3PO figure.

This diorama is my interpretation of Star Wars-Episode IV's Lars home garage scene and one of "The Art of Star Wars Toys Photography Exhibition" diorama series.

Master Chief HALO Costume Props

Fresh from the oven costume props

I wasn't very happy for the bottom parts. Though I like the final result of the color. I had to mix some different type of green colors in order to find the exact color that I was looking for.

Finishing step process done. As you can see I added some scrathes and battle damage style like the original costume.

Finishing step production process

Early production step process

As I promised several days ago, here are the production step process pictures of my Master Chief HALO costume props which I made on last February 2011.

The brief was simple, the owner asked me to make a replica costume of the original Master Chief HALO costume belts. Some dude rented this costume set from him a year ago and he didn't return the cotume in complete sets. The missing parts were the belts set.

These costume props was set for the cosplay session at 7th Jakarta's Toys and Comics Fair last March 2011.

I wasn't quite happy for the result. Especially for the lack of detail in bottom parts. Due to the lack of time, I had to pull this costume without details, which I don't like. I'm planning to repair this belts for the next upcoming event.

NERF-Vulcan Repaint Project

Original color before the make over

(courtesy of www.hasbro.com)

I repainted the ammo box with an army green color for realistic war impression of this futuristic looking rifle. I also added some weathering and battle scratches effects.

Pictures seen above are one of my many projects that I did on last February 2011 for the 7th Jakarta's Toys and Comics Fair event. It was one hell of busy month for me..

A good friend of mine, Riza Satyagraha owner of this event and also who happens to be the owner of Toyzone, The Action Figures Headquarter (www.toysoneshop.com). One of the Jakarta's awesome must visit toystore in town. Whenever you got a chance to visit Jakarta, Indonesia look for this place. This place is so whatever fanboy ever dreamed of. The Droids Coffee and Grill on the first floor and a massive collections of toy store on the second floor. Here is some link to get the look of how cool of this place www.facebook.com/pages/The-Droids-Coffee-and-Grill .

Anyway, for this 7th Jakarta's Toys and Comics Fair 2011 event he commissioned me this NERF repaint project. He wanted this cool looking rifle to be repainted in battle damage style without further modification. Though i really tempted to do some modifications. But hey, I'll do that when I got my own next time! He planned this rifle for cosplay session in his event. This cool looking rifle get paired with Master Chief HALO costume. Which I'll be posting the Master Chief HALO costume pictures very soon.

Hope you enjoy them!
