Re: RobertoBagg10's Display Thread

Congrats on the Rambo. It is looking great.

Just adding my uncalled for opinion... but the T-800 display is classy the way it is. I think poster might not do any justice. The small plate at the bottom is just perfect and more than enough. Accordingly to me you have nailed the display. Now concentrate on Rambo :lol

Hia Sarvesh, thanks for your input - please feel free to let me know what you think as its very refreshing to hear opinions and thoughts of other serious collectors so it s great to hear it. I think your definitely right, I had managed to laser print a copy of the poster and photocopied it into various sizes to see how I'd incorporate it into the display but I really don't know wherer to put it...thus I have decided to leave things as they are for the time being however another thought would be to frame a large full size T2 poster and hang it either above the display or beside it? Thanks again...

Hanging the poster above it would be a better idea. But if its going to be too large then it might take the attention off the T-800 display and you don't want to be doing that. Maybe you should keep the width of the poster frame the same as the width of the display and then hang it right above so it feels like one piece. Here is a quick sketch I did on my galaxy note to give you an idea.

Many thanks Sarvesh, i was almost thinking the same thing in regards to trying to have the poster the same width as the display...for the time being i will have to delay the poster ideas and concentrate on my Rambo III display case display and then the He-Man Display...moving home is never a smooth ride so while i've got some free time i'll have to get my head down. For my Rambo i was thinking of a middle eastern theme - bearing in mind the film was based on Afganistan. Materials such as large rocks, desert sand, etc...will be needed. Gonna try keep it subtle...
 
Re: RobertoBagg10's Display Thread

:rotfl thanks Platty, I'm thinking next to incorporate a picture of the original T2 movie poster inside the display but don't know where exactly it will go and what size to use?

:lol No probs bud.

You have really inspired me mate. I'm going to attempt something like this with the 1:6 Batman and Batpod.

A road scene like this, maybe even with the ceiling of the display like what you can see in this picture also.

That is quality Platty, really glad my display has encouraged you mate...it really is simple to make and I'll be more than happy to help you through it...:yess: picture looks awesome :clap
 
Re: RobertoBagg10's Display Thread

Well I don't know if you have seen the film or not, don't read if not bud

But that's Batman's first return in the film and it's a brilliant scene

added to the fact a Batpod doesn't fit in a detolf I believe, well I think they do but only diagonally? It all adds up! haha.

I'd be more than happy to send a few messages to you when I come to do it! :duff:
 
Re: RobertoBagg10's Display Thread

Well, it has taken a good month to almost complete my Rambo III diorama and i really hope you all think it was worth the wait...on the downside, i have completed the display case but its proving to be a pain in the backside to try and take pics due to the reflections and glare...the damn thing is so reflective that its almost like taking a picture of a mirror!!! Very fustrating as i wanted to be able to show you some pics of the completed case :gah:

Okay, so most of you have seen my Enterbay T-800 Terminator 2 Diorama display...pics didnt upload...will do it again below :)

so i wanted to continue along with the same themed case for my new Rambo diorama and this is what i have done so far...

So this pic of my Rambo is as it stands so far...i still may want to add some more detail to the diorama but i like the way it looks so far and its sometimes best to leave things as they are before you overcomplicate them. Okay, so i've got Rambo in a classic pose representing a one man army! Filled to the brim with weaponary, he carries the AK-47 over his right shoulder, a new accessory bag over his right shoulder which i purchased separately on eBay, the arrow quiver in his right hand and bow in the other. I definately wanted to have him holding the bow as this is my favourite weapon that he has in his armoury. The black shirt/jacket was made for me by a good friend who wishes to remain anonymous but he did a great job with the tailoring as the fit is unbelievable! All i had to do was to add the weathering which was easy enough. I decided to go ahead with using the shirt/jacket as i got fustrated with the joints on view. I found myself covering one shouder joint with his bandana, the other with his quiver strap, his wrist with a watch and elbow joints were the most difficult to cover...i mean what could you use to cover them that could be explained in real life? I couldnt think of anything other than a weathered bandage but in the end i ended up using straps running down his arm and the whole pose look forced and not realistic enough for me...here's a pic to show what i mean...

with this pose, which i was very close to using as my final display, you may just be able to see a customised bullet ammo belt which took me over an hour to make! Wish i hadnt of bothered now as it didnt make the final cut. You can see the black straps that i have used on the right elbow and the left wrist...it was becoming too much of an issue for me keep having to cover these joints so the shirt/jacket was used in the final display. If you also look carefully, you'l be abe to see 2 mini grenades attached to his belt - these were bought again from eBay but were not used in the final display. It's all about trial and error and you have to go through these stages to achieve your overall stand out look that you desire! In regards to the rocky diorama, this was something that i always had in mind, and i know a lot of you Rambo owners are thinking of the same thing! It really makes sense to use a rockery base IMO, the film was based on Afghanistan and thus a middle eastern setting would go hand in hand with any Rambo pose. After all, Rambos I and II were more of a woodlands theme...I have used actual real life rocksthat can be found in your pet shops, garden shops and DIY stores...you cant imagine how heavy the entire display is hence why i had to make reinforcement legs on the base of my display case! The sandy terrain was purchased from an aquatic store as i wanted a very light sandy look and not go for the more common beachy sand that i could have pinched from my 2 year old daughters sand pit out in the garden! She would have given me a good kick in for that! :horse :rotfl :rotfl

Enough talking, here is my final pose and completed Rambo III Enterbay HD figure Diorama...Enjoy my friends and as ever, i'd love to hear your thoughts...

Re: RobertoBagg10's Display Thread

Here are those T2 T-800 pics that i promised earlier...alot of people had PM'd me regarding a better pic of Arnie's leg on the otherside of the bike as they wanted to get an idea of how to make him straddle the bike! Ha! It will take some tweaking and futzing but trust me you will get there....as i was doing it i had Arnie's leg so far outstretched that i did have to wince at times! Didnt know he was so flexible!!!

As with my T-800 T2 display i made myself another custom display plaque (thanks to Sideshows SDCC plaque designs for the inspiration, along with the velvet material layering) You can see this in my pics below...

sorry for the pic quality guys, really dont know how i'm going to get a decent shot of the complete case but this was the best i could do at 1am in the morning last night. Once i've fitted some lights im hoping it will show alot more clearer...but just to give you an idea...
