It’s been a while since the last chapter was released in The Enloe Trials photonovel series, but that’s the way it goes when trying to make new customs and dioramas for each chapter (and trying to shuffle priorities of work and being a parent). So what’s a guy to do when he doesn’t have time to make all the sets on his own? Create a few concepts, and find someone who is able to build some of the sets for you!
So, thanks to the efforts of Yakface forum member EMPIRE, another installment in the series will be happening faster than I anticipated. You’ve probably by now seen some of his amazing work here in our forums. I’m sure he’ll be posting more updates of his fantastic custom playsets before too long, but for the time being head on over and take a quick look at what he’s working on for me behind the scenes by clicking here.
Today we spotlight the amazing custom playset work of forum member EMPIRE. Check out his latest update in the forums, and you can also try and win one of his fantastic Tatooine style buildings by bidding here.
If you’re like me, you liked some of what you saw at SDCC out of Hasbro, but for the upteenth year in a row now you find their lack of dioramas and playsets disturbing. So what can you do? Go to a resource who listens to the wishes of those that like environments for our figures!
So if you haven’t already, check out the high quality resin products from forum member Raylen, owner of Holeinthegroundpro.com.
You can also check out some of the products our forum members have purchased from him and painted up themselves, and even request new items from him in our forums.
Few things in the hobby excite me as much as seeing collectors who know how to display their stuff in massive dioramas, so when forum member Buried Egg shared pics of his Emperor’s Arrival scene, I immediately felt ashamed of my personal pathetic display of this icon scene, and had to share his work with all of you.
It’s stuff like this that inspires me to customize more when I can, and put extra effort into photonovels and the like. For more of his work and other great dioramas by Yakface forum members, head to the forums.
Yakface forum member Raylen has just released for purchase his latest diorama accessory piece — the contraption droids fear most – the Droid Torture Rack!
You can order this awesome environment piece for your collection at Holeinthegroundpro.com, and feel free to discuss this latest diorama-builder offering in the forums.
Personal Note: I’ve ordered several items from Raylen, and have been very impressed with each item. His products are top notch quality, and they fill in huge gaps that have been missing in my scenes, from cantina chairs to Imperial accessory pieces.
An all new adventure in The Enloe Trials photonovel series picks back up today, as Rykrof Enloe and his team of Rebels attempt to recover an ancient Sith artifact from a destroyed Imperial research facility on Dathomir.
Rykrof will discover he’s in for much more than he expected as the mission quickly falls apart; as Darth Vader has taken an interest in recovering the relic as he leads his best troops into battle on the planet.
Head on over to the forums for the full adventure after the jump!
A new chapter in The Enloe Trails photonovel series is under production, and currently is scheduled for a June release. For additional full previews, head on over to the forums for a closer look.
The guys at TwelfthParsec have written in to let us know about an update on their campaign to deliver some cool Ewok related items to the market (including playsets). They have met their fundraising goal, but have been able to extend their campaign a bit longer with some new stretch goals in mind, and for each goal met, contributors will get special perks with additional accessories with their order.
Read all about it here, and their campaign page can be accessed here. Better act quick if you want to get your hands on one of these sets though, the campaign ends in one week!
The guys at TwelfthParsec, who are bringing out some great looking Space Trees playsets, have asked us to help spread the word that their goal has been met, but if they can reach a Bonus Goal, everyone who contributes to their campaign will receive a special Torch Railing with their set. However, time is running out to get in on this deal! Click on the above image for more details, or head on over to the forums to share your thoughts.
I’m getting very excited about finally having a modern Ewok Village – are you?
For those of you who have contributed so far to the “Space Trees” playset campaign, the guys at Twelfth Parsec have already met their campaign funding goal! There’s also still time to get your order in, which you can do by clicking here. They expect to start seeing their customers receive their items in July.
Our friends at Imperialshipyards will also be hosting a podcast with Twelfth Parsec on March 20, you can find those details here – and also discuss your thoughts on this campaign (and speculate on what they have coming next!) in our forums.
