I made this temporary display last weekend out of cork board. I say temporary because I did not fasten it too well, and when I went to take it down it pretty much completely fell apart. At least it fell apart in sections so I can easily re-piece it together  When I get home I will snap some shots of this weeks "display"

| You're doing a much better job with lighting. It shows in the quality of the pictures, doesn't it? |

Absolutely! I have to agree.
I still can not believe how much lighting, actually affects a photo. Both darker and lighter moods can be established as well as variants in depth just by height/ angle adjustments of your hands while shooting! All because of light... it really makes, breaks as well as creates a photo. It is becoming more fun for me and less tedious, I appreciate the tips and advice from you guys very much! |

snapped some quick shots of one of my displays, these were taken a few weeks back when I was obsessing over these Republic Commandos haha
The building structures are merely cardboard inserts from opened vehicles. I simply painted them grey. Enjoy as best as you possibly can

| As one who loves this figure(Bespin Fatigues Luke), you know how much I can appreciate this ^ How did you portray that? those snakes look like the ones from the clone wars... I like the way they look here, I may have to get some. Unbelievable job! I love it! |

I shot it through some plumbing piping, the inside of which was covered in glue and showered with dirt. The background is an aquarium piece, with a bunch of gunk from my gutters shoved into it. Added some twigs, obviously.

Good eye! Those are the worms that I got out of those TCW DVD packs. And Caped Crusader sent me some extra worms, too.

I wanted to share one my current displays, a different take on Hoth with a "General" Solo saddled up on his Taun Taun and battle ready. I re-used Styrofoam "trash" as the snow.
