When I saw this set in the Lego catalog I knew I had to have it. I have been needing a break from 1/72 scale modeling and I have been wanting to practice building dioramas. I had an idea for this set. I would make a dio of the scene with C-3PO and R2-D2 arguing over what to do next. 20160416_191450

I used some left over shipping boxes from our recent outing to Emerald City Comicon to start building up the impact crater.

After covering the layers of cardboard in some drywall putty I attached it to the base I bought and covered it in sand colored paint.

I took off the masking around the edges and added the minifigs of R2-D2 and C-3PO . This is my first DIY tutorial and my first DIY project. Stay tuned for the studio photos , for now here is a cellphone shot.
