Title: D9R - 'Major Maintenance' Diorama Stage 2 (Stage 3 Update!!!)
Post by: tiking on May 24, 2020, 02:08:31 AM
Hi all. This is what I’ve been working on lately. It’ a D9R propped on wooden blocks. This is the center piece for my latest diorama.

Things to do:

1. Build a steel truss, with a crane. Upgrade the steel bracing with minor bolt and plate details.

2. Minor weathering on the steel bracing, lower portions.

3. Complete painting of a welder figure.

4. Filing down, building, and painting a mobil tool metal chester drawers.

5. More weathering on the ground surrounding the D9R.

6. Adding corrugated sidings at both ends of the steel bracing.

7. Adding lighting fixtures and smaller details on the sidings...

8. Painting and weathering the crane rails.

... And whatever comes that needs attention. So you see, Still need more work before it is complete.

The diorama. It looks complete but it is not. I still have to include the overhead crane, a couple more details, corrugated sidings at both ends with some details, and a welder figure. But so far, things are looking good.

Things yet to do:

1. Upgrade the steel bracing with minor bolt and plate details.

2. Minor weathering on the steel bracings, lower portions.

3. Complete painting of a welder figure.

4. Filing down, building, and painting a mobil tool metal chester drawers.

5. More weathering on the ground surrounding the D9R.

6. Addind corrugated sidings at both ends of the steel bracing.

7. Adding lighting fixtures and smaller details on the sidings...

8. Painting and weathering the crane rails.

... And whatever comes that needs attention. So you see, Still need more work before it is complete.

Saw this pic first. Didn't recognize the D9 at first. Interesting look without the tracks and the cab. Looked to me like some huge (dozens of meters tall) sci-fi anti-grav mining/exploration vehicle, with the original rear now being the new front.

The funny thing about what you just wrote. I had an idea of turning this into some AG sci-fi vehicle. ;) But decided to go with this instead. :)

Is beyond a Grand Slam.   Must have been there and done that to know the touches, but however you do such details. :o  :icon_surprised:
Correct as it looks cannot rule out use of shrink ray.  ???

 8) Thanks. I think a shrink ray would have been easier. ;)

Stage 3 update!!!!!


Ok guys. Here is stage 3. As you can see, since stage 2 was posted sometime ago, I've added a scratch built steel truss with an overhead crane.  The overhead crane is a kit from Walthers. Yes, it is a HO scale railroad kit. But within the parameters of this scale, its usage was perfect. I had to cut and splice the kit to fit the space I needed. I also incorporated some scratch built parts to give it some UMP! :)

If you noticed, one of the mechanics has a remote control that operates the overhead crane. The crane itself was modified to simulate the new changes as it was manually operated by a operator who sat in a cab in the air. So, I justified this by the removal of that cabin and replacing the controls as a remote control device, in the hands of the operator. I have one issue, that I am still working out. It is to get the tension of the crane cables straighten out. It's a little better than before, but you can still see a little kink . Any suggestion let me know.

I also added a scratch built corrugated siding at both ends of the workshop entries. Added a scratch built flood light at both ends as well. I added a fourth figure, a welder. I am still working at improving my figure painting, so don't hit me over the head, too hard. I know I still need more work. But I can tell, I am improving. :) I am still contemplating, if he should be welding where he is at the moment. I'm looking for other alternatives. so, he is not glued in placed until I've decided.
I've also added more detail in the armor cabin. You can see a wire hanging downwards, that looked it has been strip from whatever it was connected to, after being removed from the body. I thought it would add some interest to the effect of the diorama.

So far that's about it. Will try and take some better photos and post the final look, when I get everything finalized. Thanks for looking.

On close inspection looks like you are painting plastic figures and setting them in with shrinkrayed equipment.  :smiley:

Have done some changes since the last update.

1. Re-arranges a couple of the figures

2. Added oil spills and oil absorbents(they are basically materials used to help soak up as much oil spills as possible.

3. Re-arranged the cab and pallets to make room for a forklift(still contemplating if it will remain)

4. Added a couple of fire extinguishers. Will have to add a couple of signs too.

5. I managed to straighten out the kink in the overhead crane. Probably not 100% perfect but way better than in the last update.

Things left to do:

1. Add a figure in the forklift( only if I decided to keep it).

2. Some minute details.

3. A couple of signs.

And whatever comes to mind that will fit the space. Hope you like what you see. Until the next update. Thanks for looking.
