Hoth Rebel Base, Diorama/MOD

[Hewman]

I have been slowly working on this for a very long time, but now that it's Easter break I have a bit more spare time to share my Rebel Base Diorama/MOD. There are elements of a number of Hoth related sets here, but also the major construction of the basics of the base on 2 48x48 plates.

A general shot of the base

And an overhead shot

And a side view, showing some of the lovely transparent light blue windows used. Also the rear exit which all the ships bigger than the snowspeeder have to use. the plan is to eventually expand this and include an x-wing and the 7190 Falcon.

Now we see Han returning his Taun-taun back to its pen after rescuing Luke

Of course no Taun-taun enclosure would be complete without a personal salty ice lick for each taun-taun

Luke is trying to impress Leia with the story of how he cut the wampa's arm off but gets a little too enthusiastic

Meanwhile Chewie just surfs the 'net with Han's stunt double who can be recognised by his different colour pants

R2-D2 and C-3PO are having their own Bert and Ernie moment where C-3PO complains about how messy R2 is

One rebel pilot is more than a little upset at the engineers who failed to secure his grappling hook properly

Finally, a classic spaceman has just joined the rebel alliance and as part of his initiation he had to run out in the Hoth snow and ice wearing nothing but his unwipeable smile and his classic space lego tattoo on his chest. It looks like most of his yellow skin didn't cope too well with the cold.

It looks nice with a few funny scenes and some good detail with the 1x1 trans blue pieces but your pictures are incredibly big and it would be nice if you resized them

Great work on the base

[RoryoCox]

You have a nice hanger going on there. If you expand it, it could make a nice hoth rebel base.

Also, please resize your pics it took forever to download.

Resize faster! I want to see the pics.

From the text, it sounds really cool, but I want pics

[Big Cam]

Ahh drats, I want to see the pic's, sounds interesting.

Agreed!! For me Hoth has been and will always be the most interesting environments in the SW universe.

Looks good so far hewman. Here is a link to the gallery if people can't wait. Hope you don't mind Hewman.

This looks fantastic !! i love how you have gotten the play-set and turned it into this massive fun filled detailed diorama !!

very nice work there

No I don't mind at all . I still haven't gotten around to resizing. I shrunk them once but that obviously wasn't enough. It's now been put away, so maybe in another year or two I'll have the full scale version with an X-wing, MF, and a whole battle scene.

Very nice Diorama 'Hewman', I really like the walls around it.

But a rebel speeder ? Should that not be a ice cutter ?

Great work and I'm a conformist! !

Thanks ISC.

I like it, it looks like it was made from a few sets. I like the random light blue. The size looks pretty appropriate too compared to the vehicles.

People still openly use that and completely forget that I was the only believer few months before!

This is a very nice base, Hewman! The inside could use a bit more detail, and the outside too, but this is well off as it is, and with a couple of AT-AT's, you could do the whole battle!
