Star Wars. 6 platforms that interlock with different backdrops. I found the platforms at flea markets years ago. The second backdrop I printed from Erikstormtrooper's site. He has all of the original backdrops there. The first one is not Star Wars, I found it on Google.

There will also be a Star Wars Extreme Set soon! https://twitter.com/Extreme_Sets/sta...24752685096960

So I downloaded this image from Erikstormtrooper's site, saved it, printed it, then reversed it and printed it again to create this shot.

That looks nice. I see only a little that is SW specific which would make it easy to use for generic scifi, not so much for anything as specific as Trek. I hope it is in proper scale. I keep asking them when they are going to do 1/18 scale sets and getting no reply. It would be so easy to flip these 90 degrees and do skyscrapers!

I am a little concerned about the walls on the second floor not linking up. Do you just need more connectors?

They link up, I just hadn't added the connector prior to taking the pic.

Same. I was pretty stoked to be able to get it. Had to shell out, but got it new in 2013 and for a reasonably low price relatively speaking. I had a couple of bookcases from the Peter Parker figure and stacked them to make a big bookcase, also had some loose books from a Buffy figure and scattered them around. Only thing that really disappointed me was how the books on the shelves it comes with are stickers.

Go to Michaels or Hobby Lobby and look in the doll house furniture section. There are a variety of loose books.

Welcome to the library owning club! It just occured to me that I have a librarian figure. I should put her into the set!

My first action figures were the Stargate ones by DST, and I clearly remember them advertising the library at the time. I was jelous what Buffy fans got, but it never occured to me to buy it as I thought it is too specific, everyone will recognize it as Buffy, and my figures have no use for a library anyway. Ten years later my collection has grown and I love to set up crossovers, the more mismatched, the better the fun!

I haven't yet made the book cases higher, for now I cheated. Sometimes an outsider's opinion is best and a friend told me to just put the first floor book cases onto the ground floor cases. It worked surprisingly well!







At first I did not like that the books were just stickers but they photograph surprisingly well, you can't tell on the pictures. Plus I love that they left empty spaces at the shelves where you can put real books in.

If you are good with your hands there are also tutorials how to make your own books, if you want a variety. I once made this Gotham novel Alfred is reading:

I found a short bookcase on google, downloaded it into paint, did a copy/paste and doubled it's size. It like the clock has a foam core inside for durability. These are scaled for use with my MU Dr. Strange, Reaction Bookworm, and others.

Got this set from Extremesets in the mail this weekend. It consists of 8 panels, 4 wall and 4 floor panels and there are 2 of each panel. They are 1/6 scale. I got them to use with my Readysetz City playset to expand the possibilities of it.

[LordMudd]

DAMN! Looks like somebody dropped the ball and now we have to wait 9 more days, and I was really looking forward to this!

I recently got the Star Fortress playset. It was not complete, missing the gun and main tower it sits on. Also the plastic coating shrank from heat so I cut it off. I took this piece and put it on the copier to see how it would turn out. Unfortunately someone who owned it before used scotch tape to hold some of the pieces together. Otherwise, it looks good, a little bit like something out of an old Flash Gordon Serial.

[Astra]

Pity about the tape. I hate when it goes yellow.

I got the Muppets kitchen playset and it's awesome. Expensive but awesome.

[LordMudd]

If I could make my scanner work right I could fix it.
