Millennium Falcon - Star Wars Empire Strikes Back asteroid diorama (Bandai model kit) 

I do love a hand made asteroid

Love the SW Models

Welcome to the world of 3D printing. I started two years ago, and am now running four printers 24/7 in a hobby ebay business. ; ]

*A little composing with little models but it's a success and the 3D printer gives a good result (after some arrangements).*

A very different build to your usual but definitely worth watching. Your method of delivery is really great....visually and orally....you don't hold back when it comes to 'failures' but provide us with reasons and solutions for these (i.e., first batch of TIE fighters). A successful 3D diorama!

This is the best Millenium Falcon display I've ever seen. Grear job!

I love that that's brilliant

Wery nice! Great attention to details!

Absolutely wonderful project! Thank you for sharing!

The details are really fantastic on the falcon in this little scale!

This is great! I've been wondering what to do with my small Falcon. I'd be really tempted to have one of the TIEs blowing up after hitting an asteroid.

Very good job. SIFI everyday

very nice built, looking awesome

Looks pretty awesome! Very nice arrangement, looks like a good action scene.

Brilliant! Caught me off guard with the Star Wars theme, but it was good. I appreciate you sharing your thought processes and tips to create the dioramas.

Superb!

Awesome build, a lovely recreation of a great movie scene.

Well done, so much detail in such a small package.

One of your best videos ! 👍 Love your asteroids and looking forward to seeing more of your 3D prints in future videos. 😊

Outstanding build, Thank You for sharing. Hope you and your family have a great/safe weekend. Cheers, Tony

SuperB work, my friend! Absolutely love it!! Cheers!! :)

今でも好きなシーンです。

Great diorama 👍👍

Nice job very inspiring

I also have to admit I am no Star Wars fan but this was a really good video. I think these printers are going to be a thing of the future. One won't be buying detail stuff, one will be down loading files to print the stuff ourselves. It looks really good and a really 3D diorama

superb

Excellent

Well done! Love the detail on the MF…and Santa was very kind, I see!

Your asteroids look fantastic!

Epic 😉👌

Awesome. I am going to do one of these but in a bigger scale.

Nice little scene! Very creative! I’ve always thought about adding gun tracers to a model using clear stretched spruce painted a transparent color. Not sure if it would work, but might look cool.

Nice job with the secne

Very cool diorama, a few questions how long did the printing take and how did you remove the tiefighters from the supports

nice little build. Next level would be making one Tie crashing to asteroid exploding and adding some nice explosion effect.

Rest the complete asteroids to dry on a few drawing pins.

That looks fantastic 👍🏻 I usually build armour, but have recently discovered Bandai Star Wars kits and am hooked!

Well, I’m absolutely no Star Wars fan (throw your stones at me😅), but this was so interesting to watch! I really enjoyed it! Nice craftsmanship, clever ideas and especially the minimal dry brushing gives a good feel that the asteroids would be huge in reality! A light grey pin wash, maybe with slightly blue tint, would have worked on the larger surfaces of the Millennium Falcon. But it look‘s nice anyway!

That is an Awesome diorama.!!! When i built my Falcon, I saw someone here did a black primer with a light grey over coat coat. I did the same and it came out just the right colour and saves doing a pin wash. The stickers worked brilliantly when "buffed" down not just placed (and I got the guide for where they go from the Bandai website :) )

I am a huge fan of scifi and fantasy. Hopped on the patreon when you where doing the Zombi diorama. So I love these builds...

That’s looking awesome dude! Hope to see more Star Wars dioramas in the future. Possibly from the clone wars era. :-)

Cool

you should try "vantablack" to paint the supporting rods.

This is a nice diorama. For those who would like to make a diorama with Bandai's small 1/350 scale version of the Empire Strikes Back Falcon (box #015), it is interesting to know that the model is not accurate at all. If you look at all the greeblies and compare them to the filming models, you can see that they are the ones from the A New Hope version to which two landing gears have been added so that there are five.

Not bad. This is one of my favorite scenes from the movie. It's really cool to see you bring it to life. Do you think the Falcon is big enough to make the "exhaust" clear and add LED to the inside of the ship?

Not bad at all. Good dramatic composition, good "tricks" mounting the TIEs, only negative criticism might be the base and wires aren't dark/flat enough but overall I like it a lot. Every diorama should tell a story and you nailed it, even to someone who sees it has never heard of Star Wars. I don't have a 3D printer but from what I read and am told you're right about the learning curve. You're also right about the use of unusual parts and accessories found online that you don't get in boxed sets. There's modeling software out there you can use to design things you want but nobody has made yet either in boxed stuff or online. (IMO 3D modeling is where the hobby is going. Expect the major manufacturers to stop spending money on molds and boxes and just sell files online instead fairly soon.)

Dude that's awesome, Santa still brings you stuff. How long did it take for those to print?

Dam great build!! Them tie fighters wow, you should sell those on ebay!! All the best

You cloned the Tie Fighter? But the Empire no longer used clones by then!! Great build, mate! I've made a few of the small scale Revell kits myself.

Hello. Nice work. What is the material for asteroids?

Love it. I have the same printer. A hand me down from a buddy. It’s great when I can get it dialed in right. I’ve been looking for a formula to convert scales, this will come in handy. 14:13 Do you know a website that has other scale conversion formulas?

🏆

Mr model nerd will you ever try building gunpla or warhammer?

Does anyone know the pasty material he used for the asteroids ?

Just a comment for the algorithm.

You could have saved a lot of effort on the asteroids by using several oddly shaped potatoes and a sneaker.😆

I was thinking of doing this with 1/144 scale tie fighter kit but i think they are to big

Is their a way to buy all the star wars miniature sizes. I don't have access to make any. I am very interested to buy many micro miniature scale models. Want to start building diorama sets

I dont know why so many of the new Bandai kits are back to stickers instead of water decals. I bought the new 2021 Figure rise standard Lena from anime series 86 but it has stickers for everyhing and that is annoying.

could have used some of your messed up tie fighter prints by crashing them into the asteroids

You need to sharpen up the edges of the bits you painted as they stand out quite badly, just a creative comment

It's not an accurate diorama, there is no shoe

Nice work. I think the 'damaged' tie fighters look great!! Maybe they will make an appearance in the future? Very cool diorama. PS Do things jiggle/wobble around because they are mounted on wires?

Great diorama 👍👍
