Duckett!!! I find you in the strangest of places!! 😅😂 Hope you are well. What an absolutely bloody marvellous thing this is! I'm loving this channel! 😍
@@DavidEdge69 I’m good, recovering from two carpal tunnel procedures. Started to finally feel better, but still sore. Hope all well with you, fella. I’ll ask one question. Are you storming me around the internet? 😂
I'll answer that question. Yes!! 😅😂 You've had those operations now then? Good to hear they went okay and you're recovering. I've got another appointment for my spine in September and I'm hoping to have some sort of injection. Not too bad on a daily basis though. Have you gone down this diorama route with your collection? I've started to, but I'm pretty much out of room which is really pissing me off. I'm pretty creative with space as well, so there really isn't much more I can do.
@@DavidEdge69 @wayneduckett1961 this is great! I’ve accidentally created a social space 😂 how do you two know each other? In real life too by the sounds of it!
Dude I love the yellow Kenobi robot guy! How he’s sitting, presumably being badgered if not held hostage by the Jawas is great. A lovely little piece of story telling. A Return of the Jedi robed Luke surrounded by Jawas, or Storm Troopers assaulting it during a New Hope would be a great scene too. Another video where you add those little lights Boylei and others use for blaster shots would be awesome. It always makes me think of that level in Super Star Wars jumping up the outside of the sandcrawler. I usually love the jumpy levels but that thing is a pain in the ass 😂
@@sophia_comicart ah thanks very much 🙂 I love that kenobi robot so much even though I’m an original trilogy collector I wanted to find a way to use him. Very kind of you to spot what I was attempting. I hadn’t really thought of using it for other scenes but you’re right it seems a shame now to now that I think about it. boylei’s filament lighting feels like out of my skillset at the moment but some self education on lighting is high on my list so … you never know 😁 thanks so much for your thoughtful comments. Much appreciated 🫡 👍😎👍👊
@@DadBodFitness01 When that Jawa got stood on the steps of his Sandcrawler, you could see the wrinkles on his hideous bandaged face crease to a smile. Warmed my heart....LOL
@@DadBodFitness01 I was encouraged by the fact that they only made that much for the film’s full size version. Would have loved to do the whole thing but I’d have to move house! Thanks for the comment mate 🙏
This is awesome. If I had the space, I would love to do projects like this. You did actually convince me to keep an extra 3PO that I was going to sell. I can scrap him as fodder for my Jawas. You could have made the happy accident at 14:41 look like welding. Maybe the Jawas had to weld that section together.
@@somarriba333 thanks mate 👍 I hear you, space is a concern with dioramas in this scale, I’m already having to be choosy about what I can make. Love the welding idea- I think I was just too focused on getting the thing finished by that point… definitely a learning point for next time 😁 thanks for watching mate, good luck with 3PO 👏🙌
Nifty project! Some thoughts: 1. If you want the corridor to have more depth, you can use a forty-five degree, front-face mirror at the back of the entrance with a corridor that runs parallel to the front. 2. While it might not work well for this particular model, an 'infinite mirror' makes for *great* long corridors. By ever so slightly angling the front and backfaces, it will appear to slightly curve around a 'corner'. 3. 'Black 2.0' by Stuart Semple is *fantastic* for making cracks/holes/etc. look *FAR* deeper than they actually are. 4. The diffuser sheets from the back of dead LCD displays offer completely uniform light projection when lit from the edge, which is perfect for simulating lighting panels/etc. 5. You can simulate the parallel light rays of true sunlight with a strong point-source and a Fresnel lens. Cheers!
@@KeithOlson oh wow thanks mate. I need to sit down and read this a few times, so many great tips! Love the mirrored depth effect idea right off the bat- you’ll see that in a video soon! :) so kind. thanks again mate really appreciate the time and generosity 🙏 you’re a gent 🫡
@@CraftyPadawan-gh2ou Always glad to help. I first came across the angled mirror idea used with a model railroad setup, where the backs of buildings/etc. were painted differently, so the reflection looked like different buildings/etc. Angled mirrors can also be used recursively. For example, each window of a building can have an angled mirror so that it reflects the room which is against the outer wall. Also, look up 'Pepper's Ghost' for more ideas using mirrors. Finally, mechanical hard drive platters work well enough as front-surface mirrors that they are often used in laser projects. You can cut the aluminum with regular woodworking tools, but I suggest taping the surface until the last second to avoid scratches. Cheers!
@@KeithOlson nice! I love taking tips from other types of hobbyists, so much expertise in model railway folks. I used to be an actor and we used peppers ghost for a show (where a ghost appeared and disappeared) simple but very effective 😁 oldie and a goldie. Thanks again mate 👏👏🫡
This is incredible! I use half pearls for rivets on my terrain, definitely worth picking up if you want simple round ones. Id love to see you using some Dirty Down rust, which is magic in a bottle for model makers. Glad I found your channel, excellent work.

@CraftyPadawan-gh2ou thank you very much for the link, I will give that a look-see. I was going to up-scale a card-kit or the little Metal Earth model, as I don't have a 3rd printer, just basic old school cardstock modelling skills. Cheers for enthusing me along 👍
@@MartinFutter70 I love that. I really enjoy my 3D printer but if I don’t adapt the print, design some parts or something it can feel a bit like cheating- just a personal feeling and no shame on anyone else’s preferences. So it’s super cool that you’re going the old school route. 👏🏆

Amazing! I started a 1/18 scale (or close to it) full sandcrawler a while back, but the treads were the one component I just couldn’t make correctly. I’m hoping your files might just be the thing I need to finally complete it!
Looks great, you earned yourself a sub. You should look into possibly picking up some Archive-X paints. I do a lot of Star Wars model kit custom builds and Archive-X is color matched for Star Wars paints. No other company has come close to the color accuracy that Archive-X has been able to accomplish.

@@CraftyPadawan-gh2ou Hobbycraft is awesome! You are making some really good videos which are very much worth praising. Politeness is next to Godliness, which is adjacent to the gemstone aisle in Hobbycraft! 😃 😀 😄
Before I watched the video I thought you'd absolutely lost the plot and built the entire sandcrawler, which would be like 7' tall at that scale. Wouldn't be the craziest thing I've seen a Star Wars fan do. It turned out great, it looks fantastic! Also, I love that you have Sebastian Shaw Anakin on your RotJ Force Ghost display above it. Is that a custom? I looked around and only see it with the Hayden Christensen head. EDIT Never mind I see you have a video on how you made that custom figure.

@@jimaiken1167 this is a great suggestion, I was thinking about it for some time. In the end I decided to effectively fade to black in there because in footage you can’t see through the gap to anything, it’s a dark or solid mass.

@@StarWarsJay thanks dude, bad motivators are above my pay grade 😂 Makes me laugh in Star Wars how often bad motivators come up 😁 I’m pretty sure anyone could make this… I made a mess so many times because I didn’t know what I was doing but it’s all possible 😎

Far be it for this humble viewer to belabor the starkly obvs - BUT *duder, wtf are u squandering ur downtime on this exercise in total futility????* A long time ago, before the Dis-knee corporation killed it, there was a healthy collector market in *3.75" Star Wars figures* that came conveniently scaled to fit world building accessories, beasts, playsets and vehicles. Moreso infact, they still exist with a level of sculpt detail that rivals their six inch usurpers. So why not just put away ur girlie sized dollies and rejoin the realm of the sane?
Awesome work. If there’s any way of detailing the separate track links between each link, it would really make them stand out. Your 3D printer is out of this world mate!
@@brendanjobe7286 thanks chief. Yeah I went back and forth about how to make more of treads. That would be cool to add a join somehow 🤔 The Bambu PS1 is my printer, by no means top of the line but great for a padawan 😁 thanks for the comment mate, appreciate it 👊🏆

Didn't want to harass you, but you have "rocket-ted-ded" into my favourite YT plastic tat channels so I did notice your absence. Thanks for checking out my crappy IG. I'm really struggling to engage on there at the moment, for no discernable reason? I must try harder, although that particular tenet should be applied to my whole existence!!
@@DavidEdge69 thanks mate, nice of you to say. There will be more plastic tat soon 😂
I really don’t understand insta but post there in half assed way anyway
You going to echo live btw?
@@CraftyPadawan-gh2ou We are the half-arsed Ins-stu-grum crew! 😃 When is EB?
@@DavidEdge69 😂 Oct 12th
Bad Ass!
@@LeftCoastGraphics thanks chief 🫡 much appreciated
Far be it for this humble viewer to belabor the starkly obvs - BUT *duder, wtf are u squandering ur downtime on this exercise in total futility????*
A long time ago, before the Dis-knee corporation killed it, there was a healthy collector market in *3.75" Star Wars figures* that came conveniently scaled to fit world building accessories, beasts, playsets and vehicles.
Moreso infact, they still exist with a level of sculpt detail that rivals their six inch usurpers.
So why not just put away ur girlie sized dollies and rejoin the realm of the sane?
@@OrangePopAndBirthdayCake 😂 but I like the big dollies! They make me feel small again.
Unnteenii?!......LOL
@@axelusul 😂 utinni indeed my friend, utinni indeed 😎👊🏆
Wow
Awesome work. If there’s any way of detailing the separate track links between each link, it would really make them stand out. Your 3D printer is out of this world mate!
@@brendanjobe7286 thanks chief. Yeah I went back and forth about how to make more of treads. That would be cool to add a join somehow 🤔 The Bambu PS1 is my printer, by no means top of the line but great for a padawan 😁 thanks for the comment mate, appreciate it 👊🏆
Thank you.
