Rules:

• Photo touch-ups are allowed but please no photoshopping the diorama directly. AI backgrounds are NOT allowed but physically printed backdrops are. If overly edited, clarifying photos may be requested.

• Scale must be 1:48 - the default scale of all the eligible files

• No overall diorama size restrictions

• Please keep all Humanoids, Monsters, and Vehicles to the approved file list. Terrain, vegetation, or other can be included at your discretion.

• No restriction on electronics or LEDs

• Small edits on our files are allowed, provided the model is still recognizable from its original state.

-------------------------------------------------------

In regards to the new files they're something I've been working on for a bit! They are 3 poses of each of the 3 arena creatures from Attack of the Clones. Each one includes pre-assembled and pre-separated versions, with pre-supported duplicates for each piece!

The Reek also includes 2 head variants, one with the normal 3 horns and one with a horn cut off.

Hope you all enjoy! Please put any questions you have in the comments and I'll modify the post if anything needs clarification.
