Hi! New poster, longtime collector of Star Wars MM stuff. Not sure if this is the correct thread since it's more like a diorama...
I recently bought the MM Stormtrooper/Jakku playset for ~$5 at a clearance store, mostly because I thought it would be a good home for some of my Tatooine micro machine stuff. I unscrewed the central column piece and dug out some MM Jawas & Tusken raiders + my die-cast Sandcrawler...I realized that the space left by the column fit the sandcrawler perfectly, like some sort of desert "drydock" that the Jawas could back it into for maintenance/repair after a long desert journey. I was inspired by those old Ralph McQuarrie paintings of hidden Jawa fortresses in the desert ( https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net...ortress.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20080226180703 -and- https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net...wa_camp.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100114210336 )
I added some droids and the TFA quadjumper for salvage bits and then, of course, a Tusken raiding party:

Awesome collection... where's the Death Star II from? I've never seen the second Death Star in the Titanium line before?Here are a few pictures of my collection. This is exciting because they have been boxed away for the past year since we just built a new home. Let me know if anyone is interested in seeing more.

Looks like a DeAgostini piece - several of those pictured are DeAgostini ships on Titanium bases.
did a quick setup this morning using the Revell Snap Tite Imperial Shuttle model kit and some of the Micro Machines figures, and the background is the space station walls 3.75" scale from Galactic Trading Post.
"Emperor Palpatine's Arrival"
I definitely need to get more Stormtroopers, Imperial Officers and Royal Guards

Well I almost fit everything in. It’s been 10+ years since I wanted all my Action Fleets together. Tonight I finally accomplished that. My original trilogy Action Fleet collection is complete, and here it is! The bottom part is actually wood so I might just hammer a few nails in to hang the battlepacks. The 3 playsets are somewhere in this house.
No more dusting!!

Very cool. Seen your collection on FB MM group too.
loving the custom ROTS Millennium Falcon. very nice
I'd love to see more pics of your custom stuff... looks like you have a TIE Aggressor in the mix along with 181st TIE Interceptor and Royal Guard InterceptorThanks guys! I'd honestly have more room if it wasn't for customs.
Thanks! Sorry for the late reply. I got some pics together, here are some of them.
TFA Millennium Falcon
Rogue One Partisan X-wing
Royal Guard TIE Interceptor
Red Leader X-wing
TIE Advanced/Avenger
on routine maneuvers.
So that glass display case I got last December? Yeah that was a mistake. I'm looking to get rid of it now. In the meantime I've bought some bookcases from IKEA and have done a new setup. I'm still messing around with the titaniums, not sure if they will fit on the small ledge. If not I'm going to place them in between their Action Fleet counterparts. The X-wing next to the E-wing is where my Blue Leader X-wing custom will go eventually.
Final setup 2019!

I don't collect Micro Machines but I do come in this thread once in a while to look at the pics. When I was a kid I loved the Micro Machines and always drooled over them in store. I owned very few and over time they disappeared. It's very nostalgic to come in here and see all your collections.
So I didn't want to make a thread for this very quick custom I did, which is why I'm posting here. I made a proper Dak Ralter figure for the Snowspeeder. I used the Snowspeeder from Hasbro, as it came with no figures so I was "free" to do whatever I needed. I didn't want to touch the other Snowspeeders that came with figures.
The figure was a standard gunner - the one with the gray markings on the helmet. I simply repainted the helmet white, then added in the blue markings with a thin paintbrush. The paint looked like it was about to run so I dabbed it with a tissue, and perfect! It always annoyed me we never got a proper Dak figure.
