OK, I know it has been a while
since my last update, but this one should catch us up on any recent
developments. This photo is super structure #2 (remember him from way,
way back). If you look through past reviews you will notice this piece
to be Wald’s house fronting from S.o.M.E. update #1. Behind the
house front I built a huge structure that creates some realistic depth
for the homestead, as well creating a backdrop for the main vending
area from last update (which also creates some inner-city alley ways
for general Jawa mischief) and finally offers an entire caged in area
for Dewbacks or other beasts of burden that are up for sale or trade.
On the reverse side of this piece (unseen in this photo) is one of
Watto’s many junkyards. We will see that in a minute! But
first……….

Here is a better shot of the
stable area. This photo features 3 Star Wars custom figures that I
tried to design in the same motif, as if they are members of a gang.
The total idea is to have some smaller free standing cages setting
outside the stable with smaller animals for sale/trade. Perhaps Massif
pups? However that idea has yet to materialize. This is my first
example of a wall mounted moisture evaporator which is being tweaked
by one of Watto’s many service droids. This particular evaporator
model has piping that runs throughout this entire super structure
leaving water sources available for easy access. Also, if you look at
the top center of this photo you will see Watto’s balcony which
beautifully overlooks his small inner-city junkyard and the main
vending area seen in last update. . . te
detail. Let’s view theses shops a little closer. |

Here is Ani, Wald and
Kister coming up with some street wise plan or game to play with one
another on a long hot dessert afternoon. This photo just captures the
overall scale of this super structure. This mutha is huge - and when
placed ever so snuggly beside super structure #1, look out.

This is a shot of Watto’s
backyard/junkyard area with 2 service droids working about. This is
the entrance/exit Watto takes when we wants to be let out straight
into the main market/vending area. He also uses this area to keep
prized pieces of junk that he wishes not to keep at his main junk
shop. Notice the final Lego decos – they are supposed to be a
security system. The best on the market baby!

Here is a little sneak peak of the
current piece of city structure I am working on. This is the upper
floor to the Mos Espa Cantina. There is definitely a lot of action
going on in this bar. Plenty of drinking and bowl smoking for
everyone, even a game of Djerrek it time allows. This is my first
attempt at running electricity through the inside of a structure and
it turned out quite nice thanks to a strand of Christmas lights. I
promise that the next update will feature all of the wonderful aspects
of this piece, but for now I just wanted to show you the main area
with natural lights as well as bar/diorama lights only – for
contrast. There are many great features on this piece to discuss –
however we will get to them later. For now I hope you like this sneak
peak. Keep checking back for future updates.
