Dueling Jedi diorama

This is a diorama I created.

Last year, I got to talk to Jeff Grace (he's responsible for a lot of great minis from Dark Sword, Privateer Press, Reaper and others). We talked a little bit about how easy it would be to make some of his Dark Sword minis into Star Wars characters, and how cool it would be if someone made a diorama of a dueling Jedi and Sith and entered it into the painting competition. Naturally, I agreed that such a thing should happen.

I'm not totally sure that he meant it as a challenge. I think sometimes people get surprised when I run away with an idea like this. But here is the result. It received an honorable mention in the Masterclass competition.

Love it!

Really great.:)

Thanks.

They seemed to cause quite a splash at the con- I ran across quite a few people who mentioned them to me without knowing that I painted them.

I got to smirk a little and say "yeah, that one's mine" in most cases. Once, it was in front of one of the judges, so I just kept my mouth shut.

That lighting is amazing. And the rest looks good too, but that lighting...

Thanks. With the method I used here, there really wasn't much to do beyond the lighting.

Actually, it took me quite a while to finish the conversions and basing- largely because I got it started, then started avoiding it.

Wow, just had to pick my jaw off my desk.
