Of course internet didnt exist back in 1977 lol. You welcome and I hope to continue making fun tutorials for all of you to enjoy for years to come. I only wish I could get the videos out faster.

Yes, Lego fits in the maquette, one of the reasons I scaled it 40%. I will be building mine for my 3.75" hasbro figures since those are the ones I have collected thousands of since 94 (plus the originals mom bought me as kid in 70's) for those like you who collect and display 6" black, I will be releasing the decals in both scales. If there are decals on site not available yet, you can multiply them x1.6 or scale 160% in photoshop and then print at 100% scale. I'd love to see you make larger versions that we could put in the visitors section :) Frank.

Wow! Just Wow! Very ambitious. I have built my own version of a deathstar dio/playset. I would like to suggest to you for your chasm areas that you buy mirrored plexiglass and put that over your black foam core floor and then build your chasm walls on that. It will give you a much more incredible illusion of bottomlessness.

Hey Sergio, the designs are made for you to build with basic arts and craft materials that you can buy at your local dollar store. If you refer to the decals, starting this year, after 20 years of giving away for free, I have made the decision to charge small price for them. When I was working in movies, I got paid a lot so that was one reason my art was free, now I am retired, money is tight, so the little extra I can make selling my art will help pay a small percent of my art supplies so Incan contunue make more dioramas and tutorials for you guys. If you join my Patreon, you get discount codes so art even less expensive. Frank.
