Forum member Raylen continues to deliver great 3.75″ scale diorama items, offering collectors a way to fill the void that Hasbro has ignored for almost 20 years now.
If you like what you see, your orders can be placed here, and you are welcome to brag about how you have cooler dioramas than before now thanks to the various items he is offering in our forums.
Our good friends at Imperialshipyards.net will be hosting a podcast with Twelfth Parsec, the folks who are working to deliver the upcoming Ewok village playsets. Click the image above for more details, and you can even submit questions you would like discussed during the podcast on March 13.
You can also participate in their campaign to get this project up and running here.
Always in motion, my work schedule is… which has caused some delays in the production for the next installment in The Enloe Trials photonovel series. However, previews are still expected to be ready later this month for Chapter 6… until then, please do check out the most recent chapter in our forums.
Hasbro tells us playsets are impossible, but Star Wars fans know better. That’s why independent projects like this new campaign are popping up all over. For more information and pics, head on over to the forums!
Each year, I become more and more disappointed with Hasbro’s neglect toward playsets and dioramas – and while there’s hope on the horizon with 3rd parties getting into the mix, I recently caved in and bought some Angry Bird sets to see if the pieces could be used for anything in the 3.75″ scale.
The results may be a bit mixed, but I’m satisfied enough to keep the pieces I did purchase – for a closer look to see if this is something that may be helpful in your scene building efforts, head to the forums.
Hasbro may be ignoring the diorama and playset market, but as we know, others are not – such as forum member Raylen, who is now offering up a great custom door that fits in great with many Star Wars environments, like Echo Base. He hints that more offerings are on the way, and I have a feeling based on this first item that those that jump on board with these items are going to be very pleased. Head on over to the forums to find out how you can place your order!
Forum member Raylen has been working hard on an outstanding Echo Base diorama – this is certainly worth checking out. Head on over to the forums for all the great pics he’s shared of this masterpiece!
The next installment in The Enloe Trials photonovel series will be here soon, and for this next chapter there will be several new scenes… but before that can happen, I’ve been busy building several new custom dioramas! Check out a sneak peek by clicking here.
And for a refresher before the next chapter will be posted, catch up on Chapter IV: Shadow of Death.
For those that supported the indiegogo campaign for Galactic Merchants, it appears your investment is about to pay off as the creators have begun shipping their Space Station walls sets! Be on the lookout for email notifications of your order shipping, and until that time, you can check out a full gallery of the sets I received in the mail today.
Personal Note: Without a doubt, these are the highlight of the year for me in collecting. In fact, these might be the best thing I’ve been able to acquire in this hobby for the last several years. With these, we the fans who have supported this hobby for nearly 20 years in the modern era, can finally have adequate displays to show off our figures without having to spend frustrating hours on end making our own sets. It’s just a shame that the company who makes the figures has ignored such a concept for so long. The Galactic Merchants team has done the fan community a great service with these sets and they should be applauded for their efforts.
This may not be Star Wars related, but it’s a damn cool spooky diorama that any customizer can appreciate, especially on Halloween.
