that's actually a good idea, but then it should be the entire island and surrounding sea loving that idea. actually i can do that, the board in the picture is only the "blueprint" so to speak the actual diorama display in its current state...

i might aswell make this an actual thread... i have have started my very first Diorama, and its is the SDF-1 situated on macross island, its will be in scale 1/8000. the SDF-1 model im using in the diorama is a Bandai 1/8000 storm attacker kit, i converted into Cruiser mode, i had to remodel some of the parts since they where not to scale or was simply the wrong shape, changes made to parts where: Main cannon (gave it more bulk and more details) Main Cannon connector (changed shape completely) bridge boom (made from scratch) bridge (needed separation and details) main thrusters (looked to much like feet, changed shape and added details) the diorama rough sketch is pretty much done, need more roads though.

Yes that would be a very interesting one to do... adding dust clouds around the SDF-1 as its trying to take off... but are there any good pictures of that Mars base where you see all the base? a mix of these and a touch of me...

well i always wanted to make the island diorama, and this is the smallest sdf-1 i had on hand... 1/8000 the 1/15000 and 1/20000 are way too small to make a discernible macross city and military base... (with any details atleast) and its my first diorama ever so.... you and me both

A little diorama in the works

That's actually quite close... 3.2 kg

do they come big enough to handle my SDF-1?

@MechTech that boat is coming along nicely @Xigfrid thx i'm quite satisfied with it too made this little bugger.... Wave 1/100 VF-1A custom paint scheme

the hair added and base coated....

made a bit more progress...

made boots for my figure

i always loved the A and J versions the most... be interesting to which you go with

if the thoughts were about either the AT-AT or yamato i would be concerned.... great work on those those btw also the snow effect looks good if you mean my Sivil figure... well.. you are not the only one i imagine...

got some more done on the Sivil figurine what i did was draping the figurine in vita wrap, then applying milliput, so that i could take it of again, easier to work with that way

paper ain't that different from plastic, you can paint with airbrush regular brush, weathering ect. ect this is what the original hair looked like... what i did with the new hair "strands" to strengthen them was to add a drop of extra thin superglue making them as resilient as plasticard...

made new hair from scratch for this paper figure, since the standard hair was too simplistic

Thx I'm still working on it.... Currently I'm looking at light for the city And the stand for the ship.

Whenever I finish painting eyes, I always consider myself very lucky, if it worked out OK... Tamiyas fine soft brushes works well for me, since the tips are very pointy and stay like that if cared for... That I would really appreciate if they did.. Looks like a new Nausicaä fad has emerged here

made some progress on sdf-1 (mini me) still need to paint more markings and a bit more weathering... also started on the inder layer of the heir for "Sivil"

im guessing as to her size, so my estimate says 160cm ish or 5.25 feet model is 47cm tall with heels 45.5 without ..... so roughly scale 1/3,5 (you where close)

after what seemed like endless sanding... i have some progress on what is essentially a Morrigan/Sivil hybrid, to become a .... Uchuu Kyuketsuki (space vampire) version of sivil from Macross 7 the hair is in the works.. sivils headgear almost done and i havent settled on what kind of boots...

thx its a hasegawa GERWALK kit and its suspended like this... temporary solution though, as im planning to make the entire "rig" in plexiglas

yea the one from wave

approx. 90mm scale 1/20

what scale is it in?
