Anglia105E Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 1:24 scale is quite a nice scale in which to work, Michelle........ but of course, the diorama takes up lots more space than the same diorama in 1:72 scale. The 3D-printed SS Minnow boat is a large model at 19 inches in length, and it is very realistic too. Nice work you've done on the 1:24 figures, which are so much easier to work on than say 1:43 scale........ the two dioramas that I am currently working on, are both in 1:43 scale, but my previous diorama was in 1:24 scale, and there are some really good figures available..... such as those from ICM, which is a Ukraine company, and they are easily assembled from around 12 pieces.

I was just having some fun. But a year or two ago I have seem some first season episodes un-colorized (B/W) on MeTV. I can also just turn down color saturation on my TV and watch the colorized episodes in their original B/W format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

64Comet404 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Great job on replicating the show. I remember seeing some stills from that first episode, and you can see a '49 Ford in the background! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills72sj Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Great job on the work you have done. May I suggest softening the lighting or taking pics outdoors. The shadows take away from the scene you are creating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chepp Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 That's a clever idea, Michelle, and you've done a pretty good job. I should have looked at this five months ago! Like one person wrote, you might take more photos of it outdoors without the harsh shadows and post them here, too. That show has a lot of possibilties for more scratchbuilding. I think that there was even a sort-of vehicle that was probably made of bamboo. Keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1930fordpickup Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) How did I missed this earlier. Looks great and brings back memories. We had a black and White TV for a long time in the 70's, as a young kid I didn't understand it was the TV and not the Show.
