Sorry about the wait guys. I have taken this dio to where I have decided to let it be as is. I have already started on another dio. So I am leaving it as it is and calling it quits. If anyone is interested in this dio I am willing to sell it for about $45. Let me know. Otherwise I am going to just dismantle it and use it for spare parts.

No. Everyrhing, including the sidewalk, road and building structure are basically poster-board which has a foam material sandwiched between two very thin paper. Then I just spread some wall filler in very thin layers in some areas.

ok thanks. Jim, the scene takes places in Libya. The graffiti I guess shows a rebel doing the warrior scream, I guess.
-
so far so good.
-
I am not sure what I want to do with this little diorama but I might just add a Technical with a couple of figures or find some other theme. But so far, this is what I have on hand. Still a little more work to do on it.

Thank you Ridge.

thank you. Appreciate comment.

Thanks for looking in guys.
-
The completed build. Some tune up here and there but its pretty much done. Thanks for watching, although this topic is not of so much interest here on this forum. But I appreciate the little interest you have shown here. Until my next build guys. Chow! My apologies for the bad pics.

31. I decided use another wire that I found in a dumspters. I simply cut both ends to reveal the copper wire inside. Then I measured the distance between the two Electro attachments and made the cut. I also wrapped a much smaller wire around the the thicker one. I just thought it would add to the overall look.Then I primed the wires with black charcoal paint and then dried brushed them with silver.
-
30. The cable attachments. I had the choice of two. The first one and the second version. I choose the second alternative just beacuse of the way it looked. Alternative 1. Alternative 2. Alternative two mounted together and base painted. Will dry brush it before mounting it to the Electro attachments. The cable will not be glued as I want make any changes if I am not 100% satisfied with the look after mounting it. So there are mount holes at each end that will make it possible to just shove the cable in the and out it the need arises. This is one of the main reasons I chose to use lead soldering thread as the cable. It makes it possible to pose the cable exactly the way I want it without any movement.

29. The Electro cable that will attach to both the pod and the engine. I used a soldering lead thread is what I used to make the big cable. A thinner steel wire is used to wrap around the bigger cable. THese will be painted black then dried brush with silver.
-
28. The little details added.
-
27. I think the overall look on this old beast is starting to look pleasing to the eyes.
-
26. The painting is done on the area surrounding the intakes. Will be doing some dry-brushing later on them.
-
25. The overall look, so far on this pod. I think it is starting to look descent enough. Still contemplating the components surrounding the seating compartment. We'll see if I will use both or one or just leave it off entirely.
-
24. Added the Electro Attachments to the pod.It's starting to take shape.
-
23. Painting the external intakes on the fuselage.
-
22. So I started working on the fuselage intakes. Nothing too complicated or advanced, but I thought a slick design would work well for this old beast, even though it is an out-dated design and/or engine. I saved about anything that looks it might work for me in any future builds. I am an asthmatic, so I have lots of these canister lying around. I knew one day they will come in handy. I Still contemplating the design aspect of this section of the build. Will have to do more testing on the over all look later. But so far, this is what I have.

Thank you David. Thanks. I love doing imaginative builds. Lets me go crazy. Kind regards Lance.

21. I added an extra detail to the Electro attachments on the engines to add more interest to the fuselage. There will be a tiny cable, along with the bigger one, that connects this attachment point with the other smaller one on the pod. For me, the more detail, the better.
-
20. Finally threw some paint on the fuselage to give me more inspiration to carry on. As I was a little skeptical about this was coming along. So far, so good. I think. I first used a charcoal black color from Citadel, then an automobile dark reddish rust as the base color. It gives the whole machine a rusty old derelict vehicle looking at it from a fading technological aspect.

19. I think I like the results of the bottom. Although, it will be visible, but one would have to bend their head just a little to look underneath. The details would be sufficient. Or maybe I should just add a mirror just under the pod. We'll see.
