Looking great as always Ron.
You are THE Indy diorama king buddy.
One question though... How big is your house?
Mark
Mate my house is very opened up so it look shuge but mt man cave is about 5 meters long x 4 meters wide so it's pretty big, but eventually I run out of room and sell alot of stuff.

excellent.... this has a lot of potential..... the one Indy display I would LOVE to see someone do is if someone would build a 1/6 german truck... would kill to own one of those
I would also love to see that also I remember I company that made 1/6 German vehicles I'll see if I can find it and get a link for you.

I tired to do one German truck out of cardboard, and failed during the process, haha. I always thought if there was a guy who could do it, that would be Hemble!!!!!! Great Dio my friend. You must have a lot of money and a lot of TIME! haha! But what you do have is a lot of TALENT!
I remember you doing that truck and I actually though that it looked great and maybe one day I'll do one.
I do get alot of spare time especially at the moment as for money when I do have it I just buy alot of things in bulk saves me money that way

Awesome work ron! Glad you got all the snakes . Would be awesome you'd add the statue too
Where did you get the torches? Is the sand, actual sand? If not, how did you make it?
I was lucky to find a tube of 24 snakes that were under alot of plastic dinosaur boxes. I was going to at least have one statue but have it to the knees and I was going to use a dummy but the prices were just way to steap.
The sand is a 50/50 mixer of plaster of paris and fine river sand and while mixing I added some folk art cappuccino paint and just kept adding the paint till I got the colour I wanted.
For the torches and flame the torches were made using thinsticks that you can buy at craft shop and the flames are made from tissue paper and plaster.
All I did was wrap the tissue paper around teh edge of the torch and then used some watered down PVA glue to soak the tissue paper. when the paper started to dty I shaped and ripped them into the desired look I wanted.
Once they were completely dry I then used plaster of paris and covered the paper and then let the plaster dry and then painted them.
Ron
