Doobi Overhaul

[tiking]

This diorama was once slightly bigger before it was reduce to the size you see in the photos. I wanted to concentrate on making smaller dioramas, so decided to re-do the diorama. The cab is now back on and figures have been re-arranged. But I do not think it takes away from the main theme, which still remains from the original build. Hope you all like the results. I'm still adding little details here and there, but not too much as to not over-crowd it. Will be making the concrete floors a little dirty, but not too dirty; just some oil here and there. Not all areas of workshops or big factories are full of oily floors and dirt, like most would think.

Very nice work on a cool subject. I agree with you on the floors needing "something" more than what they currently have.

What scale is this, if its 1:35, is it the Meng D9R kit?

Love this...so much detail to ogle at!

Thanks a lot. Glad you like the subject matter. The scale is 1:35 D9R from Meng.

The build was good, actually. Although, I did not build the blade and connectors, it was a well put together model.

What I really enjoy about your dios is that you put subtle scale references and extras in there to make 'em really stand out like that chair, pallet jack and all the shop tools just laying around. Not to mention all of the great weathering and "wear and tear" that you put into your work. Fantastic outcome Charles!

[keavdog]

Another fantastic dio. Love your work - if there was a 'tiking exhibit' I'd go!
