Marvelous work.  

I found this inserting picture

 

That's a great photo.

For some reason I have been fighting painting Toolbox, I am not so sure I like the way it turned out. I am also wondering if my base is not too small..so many questions lately.

[Kirk]

Base is beautiful... but yes, it needs to be bigger to do justice to the scene. To my (armchair expert) eyes, anyway.

What's your concern with the toolbox?

Looking mighty good and the scene is wonderfully detailed. I do agree with Kirk that the dio feels cramped and as if all the details are being squeezed together to fit the narrow base, with no breathing room for the eye to wander and explore. 

[shark64]

Yep new base for sure.

looks like 36x8.5 is needed.

[Kirk]

It wouldn't look wrong on 50 x 20 but it might be a challenge to store!

How much bigger is the new dio base going to be compared to the old one?

Just a few inches on each side. I also forgot to account for the folding blades.

And carry to shows. Gonna need a big bin.

Any added real estate would be a plus.

[shark64]

Here's the new base, a bit more room.

Oliver

Good decision for sure - the more real estate, the better.

 

[belugawhaleman]

Looking great, Oliver! The weathering and detail are top-notch!

[shark64]

Made a wheeled fire extinguisher.

Will redo toolbox as well

[Peterpools]

Oliver, Awesome and easy to see, you are never satisfied with close to perfection. 

[shark64]

Pete you are so right, not satisfied.

here's the new one. different dimensions and added side table. I also change the spray nozzle and the wheels on the extinguisher.

I thought the last toolbox was great. What do I know.

The thing that stands out to me most in this last update is how unrealistic the figure looks in comparison with all the scratch-built jewellery. Let's hope Reedoak come up trumps in time for this diorama's completion.

I talked to Norbert about figures but I found someone else instead, he's designing them for my dio.

Wonderful work, O B Wan.  You are so creative.

Could you provide a link to this tool?  I would be most appreciative.  Thank you.  Sincerely, Mark

Are these scan- or CAD-based? I'm rapidly coming to the view that the battle between 3D scanned figures and all other techniques is a non-contest.

Designed in CAD for  my diorama.

The new figures look so good and Kirk assessment of the original figure was correct when compared to your incredible level of work. The bar keeps going up and up and what a ride. 

 

[shark64]

Thanks.

i am in the process of building and painting all the extra pieces to set by the engine. Its time consuming but will post once all done.

[Peterpools]

Oliver

Looking forward to seeing your next with all the 'extra detail parts/pieces done.
