Anglia105E Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Maybe the new customer is asking the Boss if he might be interested in going into partnership with the engine building business....... ? Perhaps this guy has a substantial amount of money that he would like to invest in such a venture? David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps if he enters into a partnership FTB could do bigger and better things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglia105E Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 You have probably reached a crossroads in your diorama project, and I find that such a position allows you to make decisions as to where it might go next.This has happened several times with my project, and each time I have stepped back from what is on the table, giving myself time to think more clearly.

Anglia105E Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Pat.... I was already blown away by your ' Fat ' man figure, but the guy in the blue shirt with the wrist watch, just to the right of fat man is so realistic..... he must BE real, surely?

David The Printle figures are scanned from real people. That guy is great. The yellow one not so. So the quality varies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglia105E Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Yes, I particularly like the Printle Shop figures from Shapeways....... and it does seem that certain figures have a great deal more realism than some of the others.

landman Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 The Boss is an avid club racer. Now that the season is over, the cars have been brought in for a bit of tuning and winterizing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchook Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I love your diorama. I always find something new to look at, and now that you've added figures it just brings it all to life even more. I have to say though, if someone doesn't start getting their hands dirty, the boss isn't going to be too happy.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglia105E Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Now you have all these cars and realistic figures in the shop, the whole scene looks extremely life-like...... your lighting is absolutely spot on, Pat and I particularly like the blue Talbot Lago GP car with the front engine cover off. There is so much detail in each of these photos of yours, that I find myself looking around the internal space of the diorama, picking up all sorts of interesting objects....... brilliant ! You have a clever way of positioning each and every component of the scenario. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Pat...... and using figures carefully does indeed help tell the story, which then becomes yet another interesting aspect of diorama building.

Pat, you have matched the conversation to the scenario, to a tee...... the figures are really good by the way, and now it looks like a CATerpillar fork lift truck is about to join the shop's equipment.

David That was my intent to create a little scenario. However, the fork lift has been there since 2015. It is something else they need.
