Finally resolved my issue with photobucket so am able to post some pictures of the finished figures for these two dioramas. I'm starting the building parts now and will post pictures soon when there is enough to share.


The Variants


Reed and Horn


The scientists and a Variant juvenile.

Don't look like much but will when they are placed in the diorama.

OK, starting to get back in the hobby mood, and am now working on these two dioramas again. I have cut the templates for both, but am not pleased with the autopsy ones, so am going to redo them before I cut the wood for real. I make he templates out of cardboard, which allows me to see how it might look - very helpful, worth the time for sure and saves on real material costs. I'll try for some pictures tomorrow or the next day to share.

Here are a few pictures of the early stages of these projects. The walls are all just the cardboard templates but since i took here I have cut the actual wood pieces and will start assembling the actual walls and share updated pictures shortly.

The ship board autopsy. The figure is just to give an idea of scale . I think the windows are too big, so am going to make them lower in height.





The Store Front.

Glad you are back at it, Terry. Appreciate your comment about getting back into hobby mood. I've spent the last several weeks reading one space opera after another and working on almost nothing.  Incidentally, as I refuse to disable my ad-blocker I am required to view your photos through the photobucket watermark. Still, I can certainly see enough to follow your work.  :) :-bd

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the kind words all. The watermark on my photos was a Photobucket problem. After I saw that I contacted them and it is fixed now so you should be able to see the pictures clearly now.

Bill - space operas huh!!!! Need to get you back into HOTT, great rules for space games. I have several armies for that genre. A British one for War of fe Worlds, an alien one based on Hollywood movies, and a Green Man army form John Carter. The GBnUIT theme was alien invasions a couple of years back. here's my British Defense Force to combat the martians.

Progress is slow, as there are no instructions with a project like this - it's all in my head....and that is a dangerous thing because it can get lost in all that empty space! I have been working a little each days so here's some new pics. I've done more since as I took these before I started working today. The smaller one is further along as the larger one is more involved since it is going to have working lights and sound.
