Originally Designed in 2002 by Frank Diorio for the Star Wars Celebration II Diorama Builders Workshop booth - The convention's Mega Mos Eisley project has always been a fan fave.

[@sinceunati]

Some of the best videos on KZbin. You're providing hours of fun for all ages!

[@dioramaworkshop]

AA - This is the best message, that is so kind of you to say. I really enjoy building the dioramas for my own display and sharing the blueprints, decals and instructions with you afterwards so that you can build them yourselves at home too. If it was just about me, I think that it would be dull. But sharing makes it indeed fun for all ages :) SHow me your photos if you build something !!! And help spread the word, Dioramas, the most FUN hobby out there :) Frank.

[@chadchesney3858]

Man I really dig your videos. Just discovered your channel. I’m a Star Wars diorama let’s say beginner. And you’re great. I’m learning a lot.

[@dioramaworkshop]

Hi Chad, Welcome to the workshop :) Make sure to spread the word to your friends and social clubs, Thanks for taking the time to tell me this, it makes me very happy and excited to learn and see what you will build with my tutorials and help. Don't be shy to email or comment if you have any questions while building. Frank.

@@dioramaworkshop for shure but I will try at 1/12scale need to make some adjustments to the metrics but let see😉

[@neillowery7634]

Great video!! It’s always awesome to find new techniques!!

[@dioramaworkshop]

Thank you Neil, for letting me know :) smile of the day. Will you try and make one ?

[@binarysunset6662]

Awesome tutorial, Frank. Thank you. I'll have to try the bandages + plaster technique soon. I usually make my Tatooine textures from tissue paper and diluted PVA glue.

[@dioramaworkshop]

Thank you for taking the time to let me know :) you welcome. So much fun to build this. Wait till you see next weeks large house :) same technique but bigger :) paper n glue similar to papier mache. Its good way to do it too. Some use stukko. Its all relative, its really the domes that give the movie feel. All techniques work, this was just to show how the kids did it at celebration 2. Can you believe 20 years already.

[@lazyhydroponicsandstuff3682]

Use XPS foam(its much more stable then cardboard and its fairly cheap and Tile Grout mixed with Matt ModPodge 1:1 You have a lot longer working time and its less messy(at least i think) than plaster

[@dioramaworkshop]

There are so many cool ways to do Tatooine houses, your technique works well too :) I use plaster because that's what the fans used at my Celebration Convention booth and the tutorials from the shows, I try to do the same for those who could not attend and want to experience the same. Does that make sense the way I explained it ? Frank.

[@rayprado6601]

So is there plans for 6in figures as well?

[@dioramaworkshop]

Hey Ray, I dont own, collect 6", too $$$$ in canada. The techniques are the same for all sizes which is good. Even smaller like for Lego or FFG. What I would do is make a door shape first to get the height and then design the rest of the walls, dome around that. Use movie stills for inspiration if you want accuracy. Best thing about Tatooine, great for all ages and abilities as the film set look is run down city. So perfection like say Death Star is not needed. Have fun, show us photo when you are done, love to see it. Frank.

[@rayprado6601]

Thank you so much... I was just hoping... I really appreciate what you do and I absolutely love your channel. Thank you
