Well, Scott, I really hope that all that marryage work will go as planned to ;D

What I think is excellent in SW dioramas (and all Star Wars props as a hole) is that as they were built from the things common in our world (lightsabers hilts from photo-flashes, little redisigned old weapons, I'm eveng using an old computer mouse holder similar to the one redisigned in a naboo engeneer's datapad in Ep1). So with some creative You can make every single weapon crate from WWII look extremely StarWars-ish =)

P.S.: Watching Your video of building a taken down AT-AT right now for the tip of making snow.
