Hello everyone, I had a request over at the Starshipmodeler boards to show you my latest Star Wars Diorama. I hope everyone likes it.
The Y-Wings are from Scale Modeling Technologies, and I managed to obtain 2 Y-Wing kits before SMT was ordered to stop selling Star Wars stuff by Lucasfilm.
The Deathstar surface is cast out of resin from scratchbuilt styrene masters based on drawings found in ‘The Star Wars Sketchbook’.
Tony,
That is incredible! It looks like a still from the movie. Thanks for posting that!
Dave
Great job Tony. Is it possible to post more photos of this dio?
Rick
That is simply awesome! I agree with Rick, more pictures would be great.
Thats well er words fail me gobsmaking[:O][:O]
Amazing work!
It would be a real shame not to bring it to Wonderfest. No doubt if FSM is there they will take a lot of pics. If ANYTHING has a chance to break through the really thick wall keeping sci-fi kits out of the printed pages of FSM, it’s Tony’s work.
Thanks for bringing it on over here, Tony. I’ll say it again, amazing work!! And inspiring for the rest of us.
That is really awesome! Combine that with the death star tower dio and you’re the king man, how long did it take you?
It took me close to 5 months to do. What took the longest was trying to make those darn tiles. I’m no master caster and I dread molding and casting stuff.
Great work, Tony! I’m so jealous. I wanted one of the SMT Y-Wings, but was too late. You made them look great!
Scott
Thanks Jimi.
It’s definitely going to Wonderfest which is the reason why started building it in the first place.
I actually entered it in an IPMS model contest a few weekends ago along with it’s sidekick TIE Fighter diorama and got 4 first place awards for it. My Ties came in second.

In the next link you can see more pictures of it. I brought it to my IPMS model club meeting for show an tell.

Awesome job Tony! [8D] Simply awesome! [bow]
I’ll believe that when I see it. [|(]
Here we are, a week from another Wonderfest and FSM hasn’t even acknowledged that WF even exists. [sigh]
Great work Tony, thanks for the peek.
Fantastic! Beautiful work!
Great job! I didn’t even hear of SMT until it was too late, so if I want a decent Y-wing, I’ll have to scratchbuild it.
Wow, that’s awesome…
(Course, I’m just drooling over the Y Wing’s details… But hey, they’re beatiful! )
