Celebration Anaheim - Diorama Workshop Giveaway Raffle Today!

Mirko Martinovic's Sabine Wren painted Tie Fighter is the exclusive giveaway that I would want most at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim.  This custom Star Wars vehicle is just gorgeous.  We can all hope that Hasbro releases a version of this vehicle from the season finale of Star Wars Rebels "Fire Across the Galaxy" in the near future.  Until any announcements are made, this is the only way to acquire this iconic vehicle.  I spoke with Mirko, and this custom took him 3 whole weeks to complete.  A true labor of love.  The raffle happens at 2pm on Sunday April 19th at the Diorama Workshop at the Hasbro booth at the convention center.  The raffle is for kids 16 and under!

Frank Diorio is well known to customizing fans across the world and definitely a well known guest on CAFN. Chad and Tamer were looking for a reason to podcast and used this special podcast episode with Diorama Workshop.com to announce a few things that we think all will like to hear.

And if you would like to be on send them an email!

Star Wars Celebration VI: Diorama Workshop & Customizing Panel

Get ready folks!  There's a reason why everybody that goes to Celebration makes an early stop and then frequent visits throughout their weekend experience to this one event that has now become the most popular event year after year.  The room for the Diorama Workshop is the favorite of children that attend Celebration because they get the experience of building their own diorama, and then being able to take their creations home at no cost, thanks to generous donations.  The children all help each other to construct a 1:18 scale Tatooine with help from the masters like Frank D'iorio.  

Hopefully, next Celebration there will be a Custom Action Figure Workshop everyone can attend.  Cross your fingers and show your support for the 1st ever Custom Action Figure Panel at this years Panel Discussion on Sunday at the Collecting Stage from 11:15am - 12:00pm.  Star Wars customizers Sillof, Sith_fire30 and Luke Sprywalker will be presenting to what we're expecting to be the panel talked about the most after Celebration VI is over.  Don't be surprised if you also see these guys over at the Diorama Workshop when you're there.  I can confirm that there will be sightings because these three artists are all diorama builders of epic proportions as well.  Definitely the place to be so fit it into your schedule.

CAFN interviews Frank Diorio



STAR WARS PODCASTS



Frank Diorio is a well known commodity as it comes to customizing and especially diorama building. His Niub Niub's Universe was a host for thousands of free printables that allowed many of us to build our own playsets for our figures, beasties, and vehicles. Frank is definitely back with a great new website called www.dioramaworkshop.com and he was kind enough to give CAFN a few minutes to talk about his upcoming Diorama Workshop he will be hosting at C6. Be sure to give this link a look please to see how you can help Frank make C6 even better!
