The Making Of Star Wars Universe Diorama

These pictures show our steps from preparation, production process and displaying the diorama. The group consist of three architects (Gautama Oktavidya, Achmad Syakir and Syahirul Akbar) and one product designer (Gegi Dharmika). Although we have a different professional backgrounds but we do share the same passion in action figures and Star Wars.

These architects (with the black shirts) were not familiar in making diorama before. So it was my call to transfer all of the knowledge and skills that I had in a very short period of time. But most of them had experience in making architectural scale model during their college years. So it wasn't difficult at all to direct them how to twist in making diorama. Although it was a bit pressure for them when I showed them some of the "how to paint" the diorama. Especially the effects painting technique and bringing all the lifeness effects in the diorama.

SHREK Diorama

This is one of my recent projects that I developed for another a very good friend of mine. This SHREK diorama was for their son's 1st birthday present. I consider this project wasn't finish. I still owe them some finishing touches but they already fell in love with this work.

Star Wars Battle Scene for Order 66-SITH (Star Wars Indonesian Trooper Homebase)

This is my latest diorama project which I developed a few months ago for HelloFest event held at Balai Kartini, Jakarta, Indonesia on December 12th 2009. This project was assigned by a good friend of mine Riza Satyagraha. He wanted a battle scene diorama between Jedi & Sith. Since he had so many figures from different collection editions we had trouble at choosing the story at first. The other hard part was when he wanted all of his collections to be displayed at the same spot. So finally we decided to twist the story aside from the original Star Wars story with silver lining Star Wars Universe. The idea was a massive battle diorama between Jedi Knights & Siths with a detailed planet Tattoine scenery. But I didn't get what he wanted at first, after several meetings and brainstormings we came up with two conceptual sketches. I developed this diorama with a group of four people including myself, it was a two weeks full of fun crafting days. This diorama also exhibited at the 6th Jakarta's Toys & Comics Fair 2010.
