here's my empire/republic hanger, Thanks for all the great comments. After the reading the good suggestions about the floor, I have changed it out. The dio measures 30" x 30" and is about 26" tall. The tie grips are adjustable hand clamps. here's a few new pics.

Re: empire hanger

WOW . . . AGAIN! You keep amazing me with these dios. So cinema-like.

Great attention to detail. The one thing is I am not sure about the linolium floor. Imp floor have a very distinct look to them.

But that's not important. I'm still blown away!

Re: empire hanger

Wow! A HUGE and amazing diorama!

Very, very cool. This looks terrific!!

I also think you should consider putting another floor down.

Here's a suggestion - I have a large piece of shiny, black reflective poster board that I've used in the past. Something like that might work great and they're very cheap at art supply stories.

In any event, this is wonderful, imaginative work!!
 
Re: empire hanger

Re: empire hanger

As I have stated in previous threads, I love to see the resurgence of large dioramas. Nicely done. As far as the floor, I like it. When I first saw it, my thoughts were that the Empire had set up a hangar in a former temple, like a Yavin IV setting, and engineered the walls to conform to their standards; leaving the temple flooring in place.
 
Re: empire hanger

yea i have seen the black reflective poster board at the store, i wasn't too impressed with it, too many dents and creases. The floor was made to be interchangeable, so it could double as a republic hanger too, so there is another floor underneath the ones in the pics.
 
Re: empire hanger

One possibility is printing out a floor pattern on glossy photo paper. That way you get the reflection you want and whatever design you want to put on it.

Re: empire hanger

AMAZING!

Very, very well done. I too think the only room for improvement would be the floor. I used black giftwrap from Hobby Lobby to get a good smooth, reflective finish. Looks pretty good and it's cheap too.

Re: empire hanger

That looks amazing...the first photo of the Tie fighter..looks so real and huge...all the ships look great...what a job on detail....the floor doesn't look too bad, but I agree to change it to a glossy black floor.

How big is the dio in inches?

thanks for posting

Re: empire hanger

Sorry to sound like a broken record but this
Dio is so sweet . I love the details in the walls
and the tie hangers . The offices in the second
floor look really nice . Great work .
Nice that it holds land based equipment too.
I like the rest of else say its got to have a solid
black floor but the floor you have works fine .
 
Re: empire hanger

Man, I know I already commented, but this thing is just so great, I have to keep coming back to look at it!

The scale and lighting I think is what really puts it over the top. Again, great work.

Re: empire hanger

Wow! Great work - that first pic with the TIE looks awesome! GAR is right - the lighting really does it, you've got the slightly dingy look just right.
 
Re: empire hanger

That is a work of art. Seriously. Just throw a thin piece of sheet metal down for the floor and you are good to go. I would love to see some more shots of it (around the outside - to see how you constructed it). I have been wanting to do something like this, but just have not found the time.

What were your construction materials? Foam core? Ahhh so many questions. Must...see....more....!
 
Re: empire hanger

Where is the Millennium Falcon with our heroes escaping and Vader & Obi-Wan's duel behind the door with some stormtroopers?

LOVE THE DIO!
 
Re: empire hanger

Rebelstryker, I'm a big imperial enthusiast and gotta tell you that your hanger is a thing of beauty. How did you make the TIE grips?
 
Re: empire hanger

I can hear the imperial theme while checking out those pictures.
 
Re: empire hanger

Thanks for the great comments! The dio is basically a foamcore box, the walls are foamcore with the wall details made out of thin foam pieces. I think its called funky foam. The floor is made out of tile-covered foamcore painted gloss black.
 
Re: empire hanger

I see you added some pics of the new floor. It looks outstanding. I love the vader and luke from jedi, for that matter I love all the pics. Once again, great job!
 
Re: empire hanger

Okay, I'll just keep on piling the comments. That new floor kicks, well, you know. Love that look with the gloss floor. Awesome job!
 
Re: empire hanger

Wow wow wow!

The new floor looks fantastic, and who knew that there was an awesome hallway on the other side of that blast door?
cool.gif
 
Re: empire hanger

Absolutly amazing..the floor now really does add to the overall look and feel of this dio. This really wants me to try to make one.

Great Job.

Re: empire hanger

LOVE the new floors and the new pics.

This is an OUTSTANDING diorama. Well-done. Your pictures are fantastic.

This is brilliantly conceived and executed. Bravo. Love it, love it!!
 
Re: empire hanger

Great new pictures . The floor with the white detailing
really brings this piece of work to a totally new level .
This dio could also work as the hanger bay in a star destroyer for the clone era figures ..
laugh.gif

Its so versatile and well done ..Love to see more of your
work in the future .
 
Re: empire hanger

Thanks for the escape from the death star dio pics.

Re: empire hanger, new pics!,

Very awesome! Wish I could have the patience for something like that. Great job!!!
 
Re: empire hanger, new pics!,

wow this is nice.. i like the picture showing the tie fighter.. the floor looks like marble to me.
laugh.gif
 
Re: empire hanger, new pics!,

Very nice dioramas. I love the level of detail you added. Also, what were you talkin about "Leader". That is kind of a strange comment to make.
 
Re: empire hanger, new pics!,

Really GREAT diorama rebelstryker81!! love the TIE fighter there!!
