my diorama

B-16707 · 10-07-2006, 02:19 AM

been designing my diorama on adobe illustrator now for a couple weeks. here it is so far. still waiting for my modeling grass, 1:200 figures, towbear to come hopefully next week. ill also be completing the backdrop with a foamcore made evergreen aviation techonologies hangar (from taiwan). its only going to be a backdrop, not a real hangar. more pictures when its done! too bad i have limited space in my shared apartment. maybe i should have gone 1:500

B-16707 · 10-09-2006, 01:44 AM

got a partil hangar backdrop almost done. i really want to find a backdrop image of the inside of a hangar so it looks like we are looking into a hangar but i cant find any, any suggestions? hangar doors are in the making

B-16707 · 10-10-2006, 01:43 AM

finished the structure of the hangar now. now i gotta find a background for the hangar so it doesnt seem to look so shallow
waiting for my grass to come and my herpa figures and ground vehicles to come
next up is LEDs to light up the taxiway and the hangar.
just thought someone may want to see pictures =)

Learn how to read you moron!

He doesn't have alot of room.

For the limited amount of space you have, what a great idea to put up the hangar facade! Nice thinking!

B-16707 · 10-10-2006, 03:09 PM

yea wasnt designed to be a full hangar, just a backdrop so that i could take pictures against. i could live in a 1:200 scale hangar if i built it hahah.

Sorry about that...

Nice diorama !

Looks like you need to visit your local airport, take a digital pic of the inside of one of their hangers and photoshop it in your model. Nice model, lot of potential for dressing it up. Maybe fabricate some parts, tires, etc to put near the front just inside the hanger doorway.

yeeea. dont think im getting anywhere near my airport at SFO. security is tight there! if someone has a pic that be gravy. but yea i want to do extra junk stuff to leave around the hangar

gospodin · 10-11-2006, 12:47 AM

Just tell them at SFO that your name is Muammar Kahlid and that you're doing some "research" for school. Yeah, that's the ticket!

B-16707 · 10-11-2006, 12:02 PM

haha then ill never get my diorama done!

B-16707 · 10-12-2006, 01:14 AM

ok so its a poor poor job of photoshopping but ill deal with that later. added partially closed left hangar doors, faux turf/grass, and made a small taxiway sign! still working on getting a hangar bkg and the LEDs. herpa ground thingys come this week too!

B-16707 · 10-12-2006, 07:56 PM

update on the hangar. thanks d-aihc! malaysia came in the mail today, so did my towbear and people!

pulenta&cassoela · 10-13-2006, 05:34 AM

Nice shots and good idea.
1/200 is really big. Maybe you can also add some "decorative elements" on the hangar roof

B-16707 · 10-13-2006, 01:23 PM

yea 1:200 is big. what decorative elements were you thinking of? the gray holes will have LED lights coming out of them whenever I get my lights in the mail.

No worries, dude! Glad to know you like it and putting it to use for your diorama!

B-16707 · 10-14-2006, 01:53 AM

oh its in use alright!

DavidMich · 10-14-2006, 02:06 AM

Dude! where do ya get all the little people?

I need rampers for my 1/400 airport.

B-16707 · 10-14-2006, 02:39 AM

herpa makes them for the 1:200, 1:400, and 1:500 scales.
do a search for "figures" at Diecast Airplanes and Models. Your collectible aviation source for Corgi, Armour, GeminiJets, Model Power, Dragon Wings, Air Command, Realtoy, Motormax, SMA Seattle Model Aircraft, StarJets, Herpa JetX, Yat Ming, In Air, Aero Classics
1:200 people are already small enough, i couldnt imagine setting up 1:400 or 1:500 people!

Yes, they are already small even in 1:200 and when it comes to 1:400 or 1:500, they are really tiny!
