I've got to go with the rocket ship. You're already planning to have a car in the building. A rocket ship still attached to the end of its steel arm would allow it to be sort of "suspended" in the room, up off the floor. It would add a kind of vertical element in a room of objects set at floor level.

Im kinda torn , the scooter looks better for eye candy but reckon the rocket will be more of a challenge to scratch build . Whatever one you choose I know it will turn out class!

Great, now you're gonna make us think??? Bahahahaaaa,......crud. Ok, I like em both, but that rocket is a trippy lookin thing, and that scooter does bring back memories, lol. I call a draw AG, whatever you think is best will certainly be a master piece on this one Bro. Standing by.
Cheers, Ski.

Hi guys, time for a quick reply on your opinion : autoscooter or plane...
This morning I brought the different items together in the barn and however I like it stuffed, the entire picture came out better with less stuff. So I have made the following decision, knowing in the back of my head that less is more...I will use the jukebox and the coke dispenser completing the Admiral together with smaller stuff that doesn't cause to turn away the focus of interest (the Admiral).
Suddenly it just became too full.
My next diorama will contain a rusty old autoscooter in the wood bed of a truck.
Now I will go for the finish of the Rusty Admiral dio, there's still so much to do...
I'll keep you up to speed my friends !
Best regards ! AG.

Sounds like a wise decision AG, gotta keep the main thing the main thing.

Good plan AG, you want to retain a balance...enough stuff to draw the eye but not too much that it's over-stuffed...otherwise you'd have to call in the American Pickers team!  |

Thanks guys, I'm very glad to hear you share my decision to reduce the stuff.
The barn got its lamp and wiring, the Admiral's parked already, jukebox and coke machine were installed...
Now it's a matter of finishing the entire diorama with smaller items.
Best regards ! AG.

Looking forward to seeing this one come down the homestretch AG. The car, coke machine, and juke box all look just right on the ground floor together.

Hi buddies, today I printed some Coca Cola advertisings on decal sheet. They still need to be sealed to protect the ink.  Time to add a bit more color to the diorama ! Best regards ! AG Merry Christmas, Happy New Year 2014 ! |

Thanks Andy, I don't know when this diorama will be finished. Each time I see things that can be done better so I keep trying to improve things, which is very time consuming (and maybe a bit silly ?). Thanks Bill, the Coke signs look good indeed (thanks to my printer, didn't paint them myself LOL), they add color to the wood structure. Thank you Ski, the AG factory keeps going but other projects are haunting my head (so many ideas). Dicky my man, I'm afraid I will have to dissapoint you...I won't use the fr*ggin' bales because their color doesn't match the diorama, they really pop out in a horrible way ! I'm still figuring out how I can solve the problem, I think there's no solution. The farmer's tools were glued on.  Best regards my friends and in advance... HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014 !!!! |
