Mike Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 I've been experimenting with the diorama base and was thinking of using this as the basic layout. What do those wot know think? The wobbly lines on the left indicate a slight incline, while the parallel lines under her left foot are a dirt road. The circle with a dot will be a telegraph pole, and the little bits marked "rubble" will be rubble... isn't that odd? I've got some 1:72 bricks inbound, some stripwood all cut up, and general dust and gravel which I can mix with pigment, plus some microscope slide covers that I can smash up to represent broken glass. I'm not sure whether to have any grass in the bit on our left, as I'm not sure whether it'll look right in 1:72, but I have a Grassinator that @Dads203 made for me a few years back that I could use to apply some 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chief Smeg Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Ok “Grassinator”; that was something for me to google. Well, who knew there was such a thing. Nice little future project for me to think about creating there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Getting the correct spec negative ion generator is the tricky part, as they're a component of tazers, apparently? I managed to find a couple on eBay from China for decent wedge, so Dan built me one while he was doing his as a favour... bless 'im 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the layout of the diorama, though I would be tempted to turn the house to hide that damaged roof edge a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit of a 2-edged sword, as it also hides the most interesting part of the building. Might have a play with it later, as I'm matting down the J-22 at the moment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blastvader Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I like the layout as is. It keeps the Regult as the focus (as it should) whilst also allowing the eye to be drawn towards the parts that give it scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Thanks Now I've finished the FFVS J-22A, I can crack on with this and the Tunnan, so I'm just deciding what to do first. I think I need to level out the decal carrier film a bit first, which will be fun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 @Mike I've just rediscovered this thread. I presume it's hiding in a box now? Shame it never got finished, I always liked the design of the Regult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame it never got finished, I always liked the design of the Regult. In case you're not aware, Hasegawa has released a line of Regult kits in 1/72. They started with the standard one, the small missle pod version came next and the recon one is the latest.
