Star Wars diorama vs Mars Attacks diorama

Le seigneur noir des Sith Dark Vador et un martien de Mars Attacks

Let me show not one but two dioramas. And they are not so much differents as they seem. The first one is a nice Star Wars diorama reprsentong the Dark Lord of the Sith himself boarding the princess Leia’s ship during a nice spring matinee.

The second one is an amazing Mars Attacks diorama made by philigore. The very first philigore’s diorama on Fantastic Modelers.
