Alan Sannazzaro Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Hi Guys, My wife and I have recently set up our own shop called ‘The Model Room’ in Papakura, Auckland, where I build on commission, along with selling models and supplies. I’ve been working on this 1/32 North American P-51 factory diorama for a while, and decided to set it up to see where the holes are, how things are going to fit etc. Here’s where progress is at at the moment. I’ve since been asked by the customer to add 2 more Mustangs to the diorama to fill it out. I’ve got 100 Masterbox figures (factory workers) to modify and put on it, along with all of the tool boxes, tools, compressors, ladders, scaffolding light fittings etc. All of the lights are LED and will work. The completed Mustang rolling off the production line will be number 10000, and will have signatures all over it. I have asked a lot of my customers and friends to sign a piece of paper for me, which I will then scan into my computer and print out as a decal to put over the aircraft. A unique way of getting customers involved with the build. Be sure to like our facebook page www.facebook.com/themodelroomshop to see regular updates on this build, along with other projects we are working on.

wombat Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I remember an old modelling book which featured a diorama of a Mitchell or Marauder, part built, in a mirrored box to produce a similar effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Wombat, that was done by the late Shepard Paine. A superb diorama. Alan, I have just commented on your FB page... best of luck with this, a *monster* diorama! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeusa Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 If the finish is anything like the start, this will be amazing! And it looks quite massive. How on earth are you going to move it once it's finished? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom216 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Wow! That looks incredible. I could imagine someone doing it in 1/72 but /32 is huge! Kudos and keep us posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
