Every battlefield has a beginning.

For this project, I decided to give a new purpose to a scenic base that had been sitting on my shelf for quite some time. It’s the display base from the Star Wars: Shatterpoint – You Cannot Run Duel Pack, and I always felt it deserved to become something more than just a display piece.

Of course, this is only the starting point.

Over the coming weeks, this base will be transformed with new terrain, additional details, elevation changes, debris, and everything needed to recreate the chaos of a Mandalorian battle.

My goal is to build a scene that feels dynamic, cinematic, and full of movement rather than simply displaying a group of miniatures.

Today’s photos are just the first glimpse of that journey, with a few of the Mandalorians placed on the base to begin exploring the composition and visual balance.

There’s still a long way to go… but every great diorama starts with a single piece of terrain.

This is the Way.
