A Star Wars Swamp Diorama

 

Here is a great diorama made by a web visitor. This is, of course, the famous swamp scene from one of the star wars movies. It is a great example of seeing something then creatively turning it into a diorama. This is one of my favorite things to do and you can see an example of how I did this with the battlefield from the movie 300. Chip Frazier is the creator of this Swamp Diorama and you can also see another example of his work in this elegant giraffe diorama

 

 

Here are the pictures and Chip's description:

  • Swamp1--Full view of entire diorama
  • Swamp2--A closer view of tree roots made from Sculpey
  • Swamp3--Large tree stump in back is real but smaller stumps and all roots are made using Sculpey
  • Swamp4--Rock and roots made from Sculpey, mossy appearance and scum on water is created using model railroad foilage
  • Swamp9--Another full view, different angle
  • Swamp12-- X-wing and R2D2 painted as weathered (doesn't show in this picture but cockpit is scratch-built and connected to fiberoptics and LEDs for instrumentation panel and R2D2's light in dome-on/off switch is built into back of large tree stump)
  • Swamp15--A little better view of scratch-built cockpit
  • Swamp18--Full view, different angle--can't see the on/off switch for lights but it is in largest tree stump on right side of picture.

A Note from Will: One of the most outstanding things about this diorama is the wonderful tree roots that Chip sculpted out of Sculpey. If you want to try your hand at Sculpey you can find it on my webpage here.
