Good bit of progress there Dave.........Aren't you glad you have 570 along to keep you focused and on task LOL
Too bad about Steve's shelf being unavailable but it looks like you are getting along well with out it. Keep it coming. Rick H.
Well now Rick, I been thinking about that. Even though the building is a LONG way away, it still looks ridiculously tiny against everything else. I've also been thinking about the size of my crane and trailer. They don't look too bad against the rocket until you remember it's supposed to be in 1/350 - then you realise that crane jib is a scale 350ft high! That's big for a mobile crane!
As this is a purely fictional build, I've decided that actually it's 1/144 scale! That brings everything back into some reasonable sort of limits. But even though it's much closer now, that building still looks tiny and ridiculous! The things I do for this hobby. If I scrap the kit supplied building, I really need to make one of my own. I can make it bigger and a more reasonable size - even though it will still be a LONG way away!
I got plans for another half a dozen little dios, but at the rate this keeps changing, only the Gods know when I might be able to start them.
I have made some progress though and I'll have some pics this weekend.
PS You're right. Without Ron's help and encouragement I wouldn't be doing any of this dioramerering and not having half as much fun in my life!
PPS Tell you how daft some of my ideas get. You know the sort of zig-zag line breaks you sometimes see printed in documents and tables to indicate they've cut some bits out of the middle? I was tempted to put one of those breaks on my base so I could show that the building was a long way away - even though it's right next door!
Thinkin of Alan Tracy guiding Thunderbird 3 down through the observation walkway, back under the swimming pool! THAT'S SCOTT in thunderbird 1 lol
