Norman Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Hello Blokes As if I aint got enough stuff at various stages on my benches both inside the house and out in the shed, in cupboards , drawers etc I thought I needed a big project to work away on in between other fits of stupidity that would use a lot of 1/24 stuff and stuff that would be made to fit in to a big sci - fi diorama so I present the beginnings of Le Sci-Fi Diorama Magnifica ! In 1/24 scale !!! Planning inclusions and basic layout today in the shed Thanks to Ian the ''Urban Spaceman'' and Richard the ''Elmore Alien'' for the brainstorming session a week ago …..……...could not have got the idea progressed without you maniacs….and before anyone asks we were ALL sober, maybe that’s what caused it ! Basically its a desert Highway gas station with a huge Pod racer type pulled up at the pumps and the pilot saying fill her up, a spit fuselage will be the control cockpit mounted to the side, complete with bang seat and external thrusters , inside the cafe/bar will be the ‘edge of universe’ figures, at side of building will be a Bladerunner Car with a policeman leaning on it and In parking bay a vehicle like Rey uses in Star Wars out back a field with crop circles, De Lorean parked with a ’special space girl exiting it, some ufo’s hovering above and I will be using LED’s and a host of other stuff throughout and envisage mounting it on one of the impossibly long pieces of plasticard sheet John gave me ( made me take more like but he knew I needed it !!!) Anyone with any spare bits ya think may fit in or idea’s are welcome to give input, as the reason I am broadcasting this is that I know what a great range of creative geniuses we have in the group yes I’m being polite ! Anyway all input or sympathy welcome Cheers Norm 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a couple of Star Wars Jawa's somewhere in the garage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USS_ESSESS Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Being 1/24th how big do you expect this to be in the end? Love the idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roginoz Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 See what happens when I make an early exit from the shed to attend to domestic matters..........insanity prevails ! Wonder if I'll live long enough to see it to fruition - unlikely, knowing your build speed, Norm. Have you asked the Martians permission to involve his relatives ?

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 All good dio's incorporate some little thing to catch the eye some kind of joke, or maybe something that doesn't seem quite right to the eye. What about a couple of droids at the service station pan-handling or hitch-hiking ? Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpopandchips Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Maybe some signs for pan galactic gargle blasters or service your astromech droid here or no Storm troopers allowed! Sounds like a great idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
