Welcome aboard. Very nice diorama. You said it's nearly complete, what do you still plan to do?

 

[flying dutchman]

thankx for your post. I still have to paint the outside (not the most creative thing I can think of...) and glue some things, but for the most part it's done....

[Dorgmal Snow]

ahh man so cool... can I ask a question? The doorway... how did you get the curve? Its the one thing that stumped me and if I can get my head around it then I will be sorted.

Can you shoot some close up and some from a distance... Such a great iconic dio!!!! have you any work in progress shoots to? I love it man!!!!

Awesome Job! When I first saw it I thought it was a screen pic from the movie. The attention to detail is amazing.

Fanfreakingtastic!!! looks just like the real thing I'm in aw looking at this.

thankx Dorgmal!!
The frst thing I started with plastic tubing, result disastrous.... then I sawed an angle from MDF?(it's called that in dutch) and sanded it into a curve. I did the four curves individual and glued the straight pieces to the curves. First I thought it would be an enormous job but it went quite smoothly, actually. If I would do it again I'd get one piece of wood, saw out the middle and file/sand the angles into curves. (If you look colse to mine it's not straight)

Alas, I dont have any making of pictures, but the next time I take some...

I love your stuff too!!! Next.... my repaintes sandies!!

MDF is the common terminology. It means Medium-density Fibreboard. Also called Masonite.

Gives me plenty of ideas for mine for sure!

Holy ********************!

That's amazing, at first I thought it was a Vader figure photoshopped onto a background!

very, very nice job! I've always wanted to see this hallway in 1/6.

I'm looking forward to seeing what else you build.
