Dan starts to spread the plastic tarps as the rest of us move the tables out of the way. Dan will start putting duck tape to secure the plastic to the floor. All the while, my art supplies finally arrive. Yeah :) XXX |

7:00 PM...I am starting to set up the dioramas for display. Here I am fixing the lights on the Millennium Falcon. A croud Favourite :) On the left you can see my gungan Head and on the right, Joe Amaro's awesome Jedi High Council. I was so happy that he was able to bring it to the workshop for display. XXX |

This picture should have gone before the last one :P Joe has just started assembling his Jedi Council. I have yet to place any figures into their dioramas. What time is it? Oh, only 8:00 PM, about 7 hours behind scheduale - LOL. We started hearing Star Wars music in the room next door, in hindsight it was probably the footage from the Episode 2 digital preview. XXX |

My bacta Medical Center, Vader's Secret, Carbon Freezing chamber and finally jason Garner's Dagobah Training. It was SO awesome to be able to share the spotlight with these guys. Their work is extraordinary and can be viewd in my Visitors Section. XXX |

Here is a close up of Joe's Jedi Council. A small piece of Trivia for you guys. Joe did his council over 1 year before my own and it was actually his designs that I stole - UH - I mean Borrowed :) To make my own sitting Jedi's. When you have perfection, might as well base your own customs on it right? XXX |

My Falcon was the number one choice in e-mail votes for the diorama you most wanted to see at the show. I teased a couple of people by telling them I didn't bring it :) I am SO mean - Hee hee. XXX |

The Bacta Tank Medical Center made it's world premiere at the show. Since I had not yet taken pictures of it for the site, Celebration II fans got to see it first. Looks pretty darn cool if I do say so myself :) And judging by your reactions, I have a feeling some drugstores ran out of hair gel that weekend - LOL XXX |
