It's simple, just turn your garage/basement/attic/spare room into Tatooine!!

And excavate side-chambers (research Tutankhamun's tomb) to store the other parts of your collection.

Man, I still hadn't have the time to read through this whole thread. But getting there!

On my side, the first backdrop is ready for your appreciation in your mail box, the beast is nearly 47 inches long and 23 tall, in 300dpi the flatten image is 35Mo, the original work file with all separate layers is now 1.7Go

Here are some sneek previews for everyone (I didn't want to reveal a full view, that's for Mark first huh)





EDIT. btw about the LED light strips, they still need a bit of distance or you will get some light dots, a good option is to buy the ones already in a shell with a white acrylic cover that diffuses the light nicely

here is the aluminium/acrylic shell

I Just get my Boba with Throne and was wondering if you still have the Backdrop Files and are you willing to share;-)

I do. It was made by blackpool, but I’m sure he won’t mind. I’m not home at the moment, but pm me your email and I’ll send it when I get home.

Excellent!

You might want to tell Mark (Stryker) which version you would like -- with the extra characters in the background or without characters. But note, the version without characters comes without the BBQ either.

If you're moderately good with photo editing software, you can try to extract the BBQ and insert it in the desolate image (which is my plan, but I haven't gotten around to it).

I’m so bad at it

I’ll send one without the characters, but as Ian said — the BBQ spit isn’t in that one. I used a heavy duty vinyl (had to have it custom ordered) that was mat finish but still allowed light to pass thru from the back.

Hi mate, can you also please send me the background files(s) for this scene. I'd like to add it to my Jabba playset diorama.
Thanks!

Send me a PM with your email.

Done!

You would have started this about the time I joined as a member, and then forgot to come back as I got busy with work. And I'm just reading it now. And it's a truly amazing read.

This is a fantastic read from beginning to end. More than 2 hours of material. And worth it. It reads as a great tutorial on how to build a display. Quite satisfying even as a spectator, to see the whole process, and all the tips and tricks along the way. Your throne room is as big as my two display cabinets on their sides. Very impressive. It's also great to see how all the trials and tribulations work, just as making the whole scene for the movie would have played out during construction. And the use of a painted/printed backdrop as well... totally fitting to all the scenery painting used in the films. Take a bow sir. Bravo.

I got the old Sideshow Jabba from a friend who was getting out of the hobby, and my display is just the figures posed standing around Jabba. I can't even put the throne or Han's carbonite display into the cabinet as the shelved sections aren't tall enough. Your thread gives me too many ideas haha.

It also makes me want to get after a few old Star Wars project figures, either customs or just upgrading the old Hasbro bodies to ones that would pose better.

Your display stand is made in such a way that it would work well as the Rancor's chamber below the throne room. I hope you're able to find that statue at a good price someday, and put it below as an additional display. That would be awesome.
