Joe Patroni takes charge.

Fantastic diorama..

How did you do the snow.. ?

M1968Q · 01-19-2008, 04:27 PM

That is really great! Where's Dean Martin when you need him.

Trevor C. S. · 01-19-2008, 04:27 PM

Amazing job. To have this scene in 3D is visually enticing!

Karl Hungus · 01-19-2008, 04:28 PM

I don't remember.... flour, baking soda, seized cocaine....something like that

fazeman · 01-19-2008, 06:05 PM

Great movie. Great diorama. Thanks.

mjabbasi · 01-19-2008, 06:16 PM

Karl that is fantastic!!! Magnificent! What a recreation. Makes me almost want to fire up my DVD player and watch it again. Keep the snow ploughs well away from her ok??

ELY707 · 01-19-2008, 07:49 PM

How did you do the open door effect? Nice job.

sammyk · 01-19-2008, 08:19 PM

Holy crap, that's awesome. Good job!

dc-8-556 · 01-19-2008, 08:29 PM

Now that is a unique diorama! Cool!(no pun intended).

Couple questions out of curiousity. Is that a Northwest DC-8 in the background of photo #1?, and....second question, did you have to do any permanent alterations to the TGA 707 for this excellent diorama? Will the snow melt off in the summer?

I guess I asked three questions.....sorry...

Don't be silly, of course the snow won't melt, I have the DVD and everytime I see it, the plane is still stuck in the snow.

C-Rex · 01-20-2008, 08:21 AM

You are really good, had to return to this thread and see the diorama again.

Can you do the Die Hard 2 session involving an evergreen 741 taxying, fuel hatch opened, it takes off, Mr. Willis rolling in the snow, and lights a zippo, aircraft blows up midair ?

nosegear · 01-20-2008, 09:57 AM

there must be something with my notebook,i cant see it

CcrlR737pilot · 01-20-2008, 12:58 PM

You should do the end of Die Hard where the planes land in the snow. Nice diorama.

dylan · 01-20-2008, 06:24 PM

Totally bad-a$$!!! Love this movie, have the entire series on DVD. Had this plane once too!

Hey Karl: How much better would the movie be if Patroni showed up on scene and said: "Meina dizpatcha zayz zeir iz sumsing rawn vith dana 707...zats vy zey sent me...I am zee expurt" -PlaneJammin'-

MDWTWA · 01-20-2008, 06:39 PM

That has got to be the coolest thing I have ever seen. Ever.

SDF · 01-20-2008, 09:23 PM

very clever... most creative

Karl Hungus · 01-21-2008, 03:13 AM

Fake door made out of thick paper..... black cello tape to simulate open door....

The Northwest in the back is Klink's 707 or 720... (can't remember... I actually did this about two years ago)

thanks for the feedback!

G-ARPR · 01-21-2008, 12:37 PM

For those interested in the UK, that other movie "Skyjacked" has just started on TCM (17:15GMT 21/01/08). Great shots of the 707!
