Re: Pescadero Encounter. NOW ON SALE
Amazing piece of art.
Suggestion: Why don't you sell this on the forum instead?
Ebay would rip you off a massive amount of fees anyway, why not pass on the benefit to someone here.

Well, I thought on Ebay it could be seen for everybody (members or not)

Re: Pescadero Encounter. NOW ON SALE
Y'know even if I wasn't already inclined to buy this diorama I would have done so anyway just to live up to this post!
Sure enough, I went for it in Vialli's auction and I won it. This thing is quite simply a grail, a stunning piece. I haven't posted pics yet because as I looked at it I realised it quite possibly was within my capabilities to add to it by finishing off the elevator as far as and including the back wall - better for full scene recreations and photographs. And so thats what I've been doing since I received this on Tuesday.
I'm not done yet. I ran out of glue and made a small but annoying mistake on one of the wall panels that I want to redo...but can't yet because I also ran out of the thing that I'm using for the walls.
However, heres some in progress shots I just took of the elevator section:
I have not made any permanent changes to Maxx Replica's work. The floor I've put in is removeable, the entire extra structure I've added is not attached. However, if Maxx isn't offended by the notion, I would like to go over his foil-covered walls with what I found for the part I've built. As you can see from the last pic his original walls are a bit bumpy with air bubbles underneath now and they are not as reflective, it doesn't quite match my new elevator walls. While I would prefer if my walls weren't as reflective as they are, as I don't believe they were particularly reflective in the film, I would like the whole thing to be consistent.
Other remaining work on my new section is to extend the 'skirting board' and the matte silver wall panelling all around, paint the back of the wood white to match the rest of the diorama 'exterior', try to make edges a bit more finessed and maybe add a bit of a ceiling to the part I've built - basically, inasmuch as I can to try and make it look like everything I've done was always part of this diorama.
So Thanks to Vialli for selling this to me and Maxx Replicas for building it in the first place - his work inspired and enabled my own bit of creativity these past 2 days.
I'll do a full photo series when I've finished.

Re: Pescadero Encounter.
Everytime I think I'm about finished I decide to do something else or to try to correct a mistake (in some cases only to replace one mistake with another). Its been fun but with some frustrations aswell.
So, still not my proper photo series but heres how its looking right now.
You might notice in the first and third pics that the corridor section and elevator section aren't flush with eachother - at the moment its on the floor, an uneven surface, they do line up properly on a hard flat surface.
I went ahead and redid the wall panels on the part of the elevator that Maxx replicas built. The foil he used had air bubbles underneath it which was spoiling the look a bit and also I wanted it to match my new walls more closely.
I added a metallic looking section between the elevator door and the actual elevator - it had just been the blue floor of the corridor and the white wall underneath there. Not a mod that I planned but I had bought some aluminum tray for something else and it had this feature on it that looked somewhat 'elevatory' so I used it. Those are the only changes I made to Maxx's work. The floor that I added over his part of the elevator is removeable, I didn't want to glue anything down on his original floor as it looks really nice in itself. Ideally I could have matched the rest of my floor to what he did but alas I didn't know what I could use.
The grey panels going all around, again I couldn't perfectly match what Maxx had done, mainly just the colour but not the texture but they're passable. Cutting them (and all the wall panels) was a pain in the arse. Glueing the stuff to the walls was an even bigger pain. Thats where I had a lot of mistakes with things glueing down in the wrong position and having to either accept them like that or redo them. I'd also get glue on my fingers and get them stuck to the panels which would leave unwanted blemishes some of which are still there on the walls....but it is an elevator, I guess not every surface needs to be perfect.
Its not super-accurate. The walls are far too reflective and the matte grey panels actually look more white in the film and were placed lower down but since the diorama overall is intended more as an impression of the hospital than a perfect replication and a huge appeal of this dio IMO was the mirrored walls of the elevator I decided to keep that. Making the walls a flat silver as in the film would maybe have been a bit boring looking.

Re: Pescadero Encounter.
Thanks Void! I must admit I've impressed myself with what I've added to this already excellent diorama.
I'm thinking about doing a removeable ceiling for the elevator with gunshots going up into it and stab holes coming down through it - I just need to figure out how to implement such a thing and how to achieve those effects. Something I tried the other night didn't look all that good - Basically just punching holes in the same thick card that I used for the floors but it looked too much like what it was - holes punched in card, frayed edges and all.
The elevator ceiling in T2
I'd also love to add another LED strip on the back wall of the elevator but I've never worked with electronics before.

Re: Pescadero Encounter.
Great stuff Andrew! Looks boss mate.
Maybe for the ceiling you could use some thin metal, some 0.5 Ally and punch holes in that, imagine punching holes in a tin can (coke etc) with a knife, you'd get frayed edges and stuff but it would look accurate. Then you could spray it white.
If you gave me some measurements mate I could try it in work as I am a sheet metal worker!
