Travis, One word "Space" is something that I don't have enough of. I do all my works on action figures and Legos on the same 4'x8' hobby table. Since this will take awhile to build that's why I chose to build it by modules and then merge them once (...) (21 years ago, 28-Apr-03, to lugnet.starwars)

Sounds like you'll have fun. If its just a diorama type of thing and not a modular project that other can contribute to, why bind each module to the baseplate? It sounds like you could get a better result by building it exactly to scale. good luck. (...) (21 years ago, 27-Apr-03, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Thanks! There were some lucky things that happened while I was building, and the collar is one of them. I did that to give a place for the head to rest. Bad thing is, it does look kinda like I put his head on a platter:) Now if I could only (...) (21 years ago, 28-Apr-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)

I tried to make the eye color a little more accurate by placing a trans-orange behind the trans green, but while the color was pretty close, it looked odd from the wrong angle.
