Jabba's Palace Sideshow Collectibles Diorama

[Reverend Strone]

I own only a few SSC pieces, but recently I was asked to exhibit some of my collection in a boutique cinema to celebrate the opening of TFA. Jabba and his critter buddies seemed like a great centerpiece for the exhibit, and an excellent excuse for me to finally finish building the diorama I always hoped to build around him. The following pictures show Jabba and his pals in their glass case at the cinema. I was limited by the display case they had and the lights could not be moved more than a few cms, so the lighting isn't ideal, but it still turned out pretty well. Making the creepy alien food to dress around his dais was lots of fun, and I used the staging to tell little stories, like the Dwarf Varactyl stealing a berry/egg-thing from a spilled plate, or Salacious crumb having torn some of the worm-filled dumplings in sauce.

I look forward to getting the display back home in a few weeks and building a proper, permanent display case for it to live in, down in my hobby room.

Phenomenal work Strone. Love the detail and thought that's gone into it - it'd be great seeing people's reactions as they notice each of those little story-like elements playing out around the dais.

Thanks, mate. It has certainly been fun watching kids especially spotting things in the diorama.
