Yorksnproud Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 My first attempt at a diorama. I felt compelled to make my childhood hero Roger Clark the subject. The man that inspired me to start rallying myself. I just need the Driver and Co-driver figures to complete this, but as they are non existent in 1:18 scale then I will sculpt these myself. Thanks for viewing.
bobthehobbyguy Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Nicely done. When I saw the pictures I thought they were what you were plannning to do.
crazyrichard Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 whouw thats soo realistic , this is your first ?? hope to see more then !!
Yorksnproud Posted October 14, 2014 Author Posted October 14, 2014 Thanks so much for your comments guys.
jerseyjunker1 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 FANTASTIC !!!WOW IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT IS IN STORE FOR US LATER.
Prince Ital Mike Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Very nice diorama, very realistic!!!
gordon Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Have you checked out the 1/20 th Tamiya Motorsports team set ? The scale is close ( they might be a tad small ) but you get a driver figure with helmet and enough other figs to create the navigator. A few more mud spatters on the glass and who would know ! Your ground work is excellent, do I sense a model rail or military modelling background ? In any case keep it up. Cheers Eh!
Yorksnproud Posted October 22, 2014 Author Posted October 22, 2014 Thanks for your comments guys. Gordon, thanks, I've ordered the Tamiya team set. It may at least be a base to start from. No background in scale modelling, although I once built an Airfix Spitfire when I was about ten years old. Next project will be a Monte Carlo Rally Mini Cooper diorama. Need to start experimenting with snow and ice.
Yenkocamaro Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Excellent work! Since you are talking 1/18 scale, American Diorama just recently released a 2-figure pack of Policemen in a sitting position. There were also a few other figures made by the same company in a sitting position, but they are not looking straight ahead. Check it out, and see if they might suit your needs. They will require significant modding, but I think they would be a great starting point. Cheers Lance
gasser59 Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Wow !! Your first, really?? I love the water puddles, so realistic. How were those done?
michael1969 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Really nice dio Dave! My favorite part is the air between the rear wheels, only thing missing is the splattering mud.
vaughn Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Nice Dio ! Is the background a photo or the real thing ? How about the water and mud ? Real or created from other materials . Regardless. Very well executed !
mrindy77 Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Most realistic grass and mud I have seen in an auto diorama. Nice job...I like it.
kruleworld Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Nicely done. When I saw the pictures I thought they were what you were plannning to do. me too. it's very convincing
DumpyDan Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Nicely done, if this your first can't wait to see more.
darthsideous Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Fantastic work, I too thought the pics were of the real car on first look. Great job
