paulhoyosm · Apr 17, 2015

After 7 months of hard work on this project (August 2014 - March 2015), I feel so glad I've finished this diorama from one of my favorite Sci-Fi movies. I am so proud to present this 1/6 Scale Mojave Desert Armory from Terminator 2: Judgment Day. This diorama is specially crafted based on the movie scene where T800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and John Connor (Edward Furlong) come into Sarah's weapons cache.

Every detail was carefully analized from scale to small wood boxes, in order to make the most accurate diorama from this movie scene. Everything you will see in these pictures was made from scratch. Ammo wood boxes, Blue hardigg boxes, large table, and ladder were made of authentic wood. Only green ammo boxes were bought online from China. Supplies cardboard boxes (water/food) were made of stock paper. Concrete block were made of Apoxie Sculpt. T2 logo and plaque were made of wood wrapped on with pewter and aluminium sheets.

Every weapon seen on the movie scene are displayed on this diorama. They were bought online mostly from China and US Here's the complete list:

-3 Antitank Bazooka RPG-7
-4 M60 machine gun
-2 Winchester 1300 (12 Gauge)
-1 M79 grenade launcher

Perhaps strange to reference Die Hard but I think Hans Gruber may have said it best

There's been some great ones. What this one has over any other is that it fully and completely recreates an environment from the movie. Everything else - Pescadero hospitals, Steel Mill furnaces etc - is necessarily limited but this had the benefit of being a small, enclosed room that could be made in full. And he did it with stunning perfectionism. The figure is the least realistic thing in this display - the head specifically - as he did an awesome job weathering the clothes.

I was going to say the same thing, but I didn't want to piss all over the DX10's headsculpt. May we one day have a clean Uncle Bob that rivals the quality of this diorama. :duff
