Frank Diorio's Diorama Workshop Week in Review : August 12 2012

JEDI STARFIGHTER COLLECTION

Today's play was centered around space battles, and since I had all of my Jedi Starfighters out, I figured fit would be the perfect time to show you all the collection.

Jedi Starfighter Collection

Don't forget how easy it is to create generic Jedi Starfighters by switching out the side panels.

 

 You can easily switch the fronts on the Clone War Starfighters for some diversity too.

 This works great to create Starfighters for your custom Jedi action figures.

Star Wars Custums

So, not too long ago, I made a friend on Facebook...another young customizer like myself.  He asked if we could promote his Facebook  page, and Youtube  channel, and we were more than happy to spread the word.  Check out the work of Christopher Yanak with a video of his work that Dad put together.  Be sure to like his page and check out his reviews too.

Trandoshan Mercenary

Dad grabbed a Bossk action figure and a Vintage Dengar action figure to create this figure.  He took the head, lower arms, and lower legs of the Bossk, the upper arms, upper legs, and torso of the Dengar and fit them to create this custom action figure.  Unfortunately, he isn't sure where all the accessories came from.

Dad's Trandoshan Mercenary was featured on the front page of Imperial Shipyards.

Star Wars Celebration VI: Diorama Workshop & Customizing Panel

Get ready folks!  There's a reason why everybody that goes to Celebration makes an early stop and then frequent visits throughout their weekend experience to this one event that has now become the most popular event year after year.  The room for the Diorama Workshop is the favorite of children that attend Celebration because they get the experience of building their own diorama, and then being able to take their creations home at no cost, thanks to generous donations.  The children all help each other to construct a 1:18 scale Tatooine with help from the masters like Frank D'iorio.  

Hopefully, next Celebration there will be a Custom Action Figure Workshop everyone can attend.  Cross your fingers and show your support for the 1st ever Custom Action Figure Panel at this years Panel Discussion on Sunday at the Collecting Stage from 11:15am - 12:00pm.  Star Wars customizers Sillof, Sith_fire30 and Luke Sprywalker will be presenting to what we're expecting to be the panel talked about the most after Celebration VI is over.  Don't be surprised if you also see these guys over at the Diorama Workshop when you're there.  I can confirm that there will be sightings because these three artists are all diorama builders of epic proportions as well.  Definitely the place to be so fit it into your schedule.
