I appreciate it! 
I don't want it to get too cluttered but thought I would add a few for fun!

My phone takes lousy photos, I need to take some with my camera instead but until then here are a few shots of it. Hard to see but I made a teeny frog out of clay and he's floating in Jabba's snack bowl like in the movie The water pipe and globe are from an old Hasbro toy set, I painted them to make them look less toy-like. Pretty much everything else is scratch-built- the gargoyle heads, the bowl and all the fruit in it, the two spiral vases, Han in carbonite, the sculptural wall that wraps behind Jabba and holds the water pipe bowl and of course the backdrop, walls and dais. I tried to limit the LED strips to create mood without washing it in too much light because the throne room in the movie is pretty dark.
Before I got into Pops I kitbashed car models into cartoony versions, so I may apply those abilities towards a scratch-built hover taxi 
Los Spastikos Fantastikos
But I want those metallic dragons first! Not sure when they will be out, I've heard later this month to late December. I may start another while waiting. cswhite wrote:Would you mind explaining how you did the Han Solo in carbonite? That's pretty much my dream pop that'll probably never happen.
It is only used for clay. I used some clay working tools to shape the hands as they are way too small to shape with my fingers. I cut the back part off of Han's head to fit into the tray, used a moto tool to do that. I used the same tool to cut off his hands. I hot-glued the new hands on, then I hot-glued his head and body into the tray. Then I watered down plaster until it was a soupy consistency and poured it in thin layers into the tray and let it flow around Han's body. I let it dry overnight before pouring the next layer. After the last layer (flush with the tray) I let it dry a couple of days, then primed it all with Tamiya primer (my favorite, it atomizes to very fine droplets). Next I applied a few coats of gloss black (also Tamiya). I let that dry overnight and then airbrushed the Alcad on at 15 psi. I think I said earlier in this thread that it was "magnesium", but I checked and it was actually "stainless steel".

Below is a pic of a new Han in carbonite I did for a fellow Funatic!
Well the next project is decided, it's a GoT display for my girlfriend. It's a foam core display like the SW (cave) and GB versions I posted earlier in this thread. I'm about half done with it already. It will of course feature the iron throne, I'm working on the window that goes above it and will be backlighting it in red led's
