Christian Lehmann AuthorDespite my original plans I decided to proceed with the diorama now.

Christian Lehmann AuthorThank's mates.
@Choppa: The pic gave me the inspiration to add some small rocks.
6 June 2016, 19:51
Choppa NuttaCool 🙂
I think you "need" 😄 to add some more foliage on the ground, especially around the bases of the trees and the fallen log😉 😄
I photoshopped the above pic for Ken's AT-ST diorama as he is going to print it out as a backdrop etc.
you are welcome to do likewise if you want to 🙂
6 June 2016, 20:26
Christian Lehmann Author🙂 this will be done when the plaster is dry. It will mainly be fern
6 June 2016, 20:51
Michael HickeyYou're doing an awesome job on the base so far and I can't wait for the end result.👍
6 June 2016, 22:14
Christian Lehmann AuthorSome progress today. Pic added. I am lack of fern which is ordered.
9 June 2016, 19:05
Christian Lehmann AuthorThanks Choppa. Your'e right. Step by step it is shaping and each day I get new ideas to improve it. 🙂
9 June 2016, 21:06
Choppa NuttaThe foliage on e the floor etc. has really helped bring this to life 🙂
I would say add more but then I would😉 😄
Are the ferns painted PE or something else ?
9 June 2016, 21:59
Christian Lehmann AuthorThe ferns are made of laser cut green paper. I did some additional coloration with the brush and air brush. It is the first time I used this kind of product and i am really surprised about its effect.

Choppa NuttaJuicey !! I love it
very nice all round, looks great, all of it, I really like the details and the drama/comedy of it.
A great piece indeed 🙂
Would be nice to see it with a forest backdrop, it could look like it is right our of the movie😉 😄

Holger KranichHey Christian, the dio looks awesome and i love every single cm! But to be honest - the Ewoks are the quintessence in it! And it was a pleasure to watch you making ´em!!! Too cool, too nice - absolutely perfect!!!👍👍👍👍
15 June 2016, 18:08
Christian Lehmann AuthorThanks Holger. I have the idea to make a larger one that fits to the Knight Models Star Wars figures
15 June 2016, 19:22
Christian MeyerhoffAnother stunning Dio from Mr. Lehmann! You should be the next Producer of any comming Star Wars movie. Excellent from every point of view!
15 June 2016, 19:28
Michael HickeyBloody unreal mate, a real show stopper, you should be extremely happy with what you have achieved, well done. 👍👍👍
16 June 2016, 00:06
Martien Lourensimpressive work. Great how you have included the damage of the base in this dio.
16 June 2016, 05:12
Christian Lehmann AuthorMany thanks mates for all the motivating coments .
@ Martien: I had this in mind from the beginning and bought the base especially for this project.
16 June 2016, 08:31
Chris NormanThis is a brilliant diorama, how long did it take to put this together?
16 June 2016, 09:53
Bernhard SchrockGreat! I think THIS dio is the real "base" for the SW episode IV🙂.
16 June 2016, 10:02
Christian Lehmann Author@Chris: All started with the Ewols in February. I did not work the whole time on it. During this I also built an x-wing fighter and had some interuptions. With the base I started 2 weeks ago.
16 June 2016, 11:35
Christian Lehmann Author@Arne: Yes they are selfmade.

Christian Lehmann Author@Arne: Tried too copy the link of the photo album into the coment but it did not work. Don't know why
16 June 2016, 11:41
Urban GardiniGood and creative work mate! I really love the touch with the "rotten" base by the uprooted tree. The rest of it is just up to the usual standard that one expect from you, in other words extremely well done...
16 June 2016, 12:12
Choppa NuttaChristian I just could not resist a quick spin around photoshop with your model 😄
Hoe you don't mind 😉
Of course getting rid of the blue edges would be easier with a printed backdrop when you took the photo 😄
Anyhow, I just think it looks awesome with the backdrop in, it's like a still from the bloomin movies 😄

Choppa Nuttahaha cheers Holly, but I think Christian deserves 99.9% of the credit😉
but yeah, back drops really set the scene though 🙂
16 June 2016, 13:19
Arne GreveAs I show my children the real trilogy last autum, they said, the Ewoks are so cute and sweet. I remember, as I saw the movie in 1984, I thought the same. 🙂
16 June 2016, 14:40
Choppa NuttaSometimes I wish you could like comments on SCM 🙂
he doesn't just suck, he sucks hard...... they might as well have used Michael Bay, that would have "Transformed" things......... ba'dum tish..... 😄
16 June 2016, 16:33
Christian Lehmann Author@ Coppy: The reworked pic looks cool. I know that so much increadible things are possible with photoshop but I am not so familar with these techiniques.
16 June 2016, 16:43
Choppa Nuttaif you want the background image to print out let me know 🙂
would be nice to see the back drop as part of the scene but I couldn't wait for that 😄
16 June 2016, 16:47
Christian Lehmann Author@ Arne: I also remember when I watched Episode VI in the cine in the 80's (was it really in 84?) . At the moment the Ewoks entered the scene the whole crowd started laughing because they were so cute and brought a slapstick component into the movie.
Btw. I like the works of JJ Abrams especially the style he uses the cameras and cuts the movies.I do not understand the JJ bashing
16 June 2016, 16:53
Choppa Nuttawell for me it largely centers around the thin plot, and I couldn't believe in the characters really, everything came all too easily to some of, no real character development, sure there was some models and camera work etc. but the overall story left me feeling disappointed, plus we were denied an on screen reunion and the Darth Vader theme tune, which was the best one in my view 🙂
hopefully there will be a decent fan edit at some point 🙂
16 June 2016, 17:19
playtime 222Not as bad as Bay but let's not forget this guy brought us the mess that was Lost.
16 June 2016, 17:35
Christian Lehmann AuthorWell Choppy, youre right about the story. It is the story of episode IV with other characters. I believe the final story book is the result of team work and you do not know the influence of Disney on it. I did not have that much expectation about the story. I just wanted to have a relaxed afternoon togehter with my daughter (the next fan generation) watching a SiFi movie with great special effects.
Btw: We are now curious about Star Trek "Beyond" in July and Star Wars "Rouge one" in December.
16 June 2016, 17:54
Choppa NuttaAh well if you were with your kid, well that changes things entirely 🙂
My feeling is that they chose Abrams because of some stats rather than artistic ability and that the story was "crafted" by a committee to afraid to do something interesting, like watching Luke turn into his father but through noble intentions, he could have come back as super uber Jedi to quash the uprising of the empire and declares himself benevolent dictator and vowing never again will the empire rise at the end of Ep7 only for him to descend into super power madness and becomes a puritanical monster etc. etc. etc.
That way you get the gang back together again for a proper re-union romping with the bad guys with a dark twist at the end, now that was the story I was hoping for but no we got -
"ooh I've never held a light saber, ooh this is easy, look mum I'm really good against this guy who has been training his whole life"
and
"Han, I know I've been on the Falcon for two minutes but I know how to fix it, easy" etc. etc.
Anyhow,
Star Wars "Rouge one" looks intriguing as it is a spin off from the main story line ( I think, please correct me if I am wrong there )
16 June 2016, 18:25
Arne GreveAt the end of Episode VII, I ask myself, Why must Han die?? But suddenly, like a flash, it appears in my brain. He must die, because he will come back as Indiana Jones. The story goes like this: In Indiana Jones V, Dr. Jones find a Stargate and in the end of the movie, he enter it. ;-D
17 June 2016, 07:42
Urban GardiniI remember how me and a mate rode our bikes down to the cinema to see Ep. VI one warm summer evening in 1983.
17 June 2016, 09:54
Holger Kranich1983 was the year i came to School and i was not allowed to see it... A Little Anger arose in me... 😄
17 June 2016, 12:18
Choppa Nuttahaha, why oh why do I have a picture of Bart Simpson having a tantrum..... 😄
17 June 2016, 14:43
Christian Lehmann AuthorThank you Charlene. As written before, This was planed from the beginning and the base was bought especially for this.
18 June 2016, 05:58
Philip De KeyserThis is a great diorama Christian, very nice build, congrats
Greetz, Phil

Roland SachsenhoferIch seh´s mir immer wieder an- was für ein wunderbares Dio!!
So viele Ideen spitzenmäßig umgesetzt, ich finde das Ganze echt und einfach nur genial!
19 June 2016, 10:01
Christian RistitsKann mich da Roland und den Vorgängern nur anschließen, eine tolle Arbeit, und eine Augenweide für jeden SW-Fan!
19 June 2016, 10:10
Christian Lehmann AuthorDanke für die motivierenden Worte Thomas, Roland und Christian. Das ist für mich die Szene aus der Schlacht, die sich wirklich ins Gedächtnis eingebrannt hat und die Idee zu dem Dio hatte ich sofort, als ich den AT-ST letztes Jahr in Mol gekauft habe.
19 June 2016, 11:04
Eduardo Arguijograt Diorama Chris, how you managed to make the Ewoks? Does they come with the kit?
Great job!
19 June 2016, 13:52
Kerry COXI just refreshed my memory of the scene in the forrest with Youtube, and the representation here in your Dio Christian has not missed a thing. Almost smell the smoke and pine needles. 🙂
Many happy hours spent on this mate. 🙂
Well done. 👍
19 June 2016, 14:11
Christian Lehmann AuthorThank's Kerry and Eduardo.
@Eduardo: The Ewoks are self made. Check my SCM Albums to see how. ( I tried to add a link but this does not work with my tablet computer)
19 June 2016, 14:37
Christian Lehmann AuthorBack from Euromodel Austria 2016 in Ried.
The dio was awarded with a gold medal in category "Sifi/fantasy diorama" as well as (surprisingly for me) "Best of show"
17 October 2016, 19:05
Kerry COXSo thoroughly deserved Christian. 🙂 🙂 🙂
A big salute and my hearty congratulations mate. 👍 👍 👍
17 October 2016, 20:53
Holger KranichThe Sci-Fi medal was no wonder but "Best of Show"? 👍👍👍 Great Lemmy!😄
18 October 2016, 06:24
Lex JassiesMaybe for the umpteenth time, but still a well-meant, Congratulations Christian!
18 October 2016, 06:33
Joerg R.Mensch Lemmy, das ist doch super und vor allem sehr verdient. Freut mich für dich!
18 October 2016, 08:14
Christian BruerCongratulations for a well deserved Gold and Best of Show 👍 I much like that something unique and different to aeroplanes and AVFs got the price.
What is about Lingen next March – any plan to attend to the show?
Cheers, Christian
18 October 2016, 17:14
Christian Lehmann AuthorThanks Christian. Unlikely that I will be in Lingen because the exhibition I plan to visit are: GoMo in Viena on 12/13 of march, Moson Model show in April andKMK Scaleworld in September.
18 October 2016, 17:46
Christian BruerUnfortunately not the Shows I plan to visit. Next to EME in March I plan to visit Scale Model Challenge in Veldhoven at the end of October.
18 October 2016, 17:51
Philip De Keysercongratulations Christian with the gold medal and best of show 👍
19 October 2016, 15:50
Kerry COXLooking at all the mates who have commented on your build Christian. I couldn't pass by without saying that your win is richly deserved my friend. And the cream on the cake being best in show. !!!! What a wonderful outcome. Congratulations mate. 🙂 🙂 🙂 👍

Christian Lehmann AuthorThanks Kerry and Dominik. I cant believe that it was built in 2016 and is 6 year old yet.
