Over on the Forum of Doom the good people of Haslefree Miniatures, Fenris Games, Heresy Miniatures and Black Scorpion run an annual painting competition known as the (unofficial) Diorama of Doom.
This year the theme is: "Pick on someone your own size!"
The competition starts on the 24th September 2013 with submissions due by 24th December. At the start of the competition you are required to submit a photograph of your miniatures to demonstrate that you haven't started to paint them yet!
Here are my starting materials. In total that's 15 miniatures from all four manufacturers, an Old Crow tank, 2 walkers (cough), a skip, loads of brass etch, styrene and other modelling gubbins.

This will be a tongue in cheek scenario featuring two interlinked diorama's - as you might be able to tell from the oddly shaped MDF base.
I can promise a reappearance of Bob and Dave from my DoD 2011 entry "Do you think he'll notice?" (http://brandlin.blogspot.co.uk/2009/10/do-you-think-hell-notice-final-pictures.html); and we shall find the inept duo have been sacked from their line marking jobs and have set up their own scrap business!
For scale reference, the base shown here is 80mm diameter lipped resin base from Fenris Games. The overall ellipse shape is 250mm by 160mm (sized to fit on the available display shelves). The MDF is four sheets of 9.5mm thick, cut with a jig saw, sanded on a drum snader and the other pieces routed using the first as a template...

And a little more in the way of interest and levels...

I like these two aspects...
Yours looks very interesting already :)

Looks like a very promising start. Would you mind posting links to your previous entries?

Slowly getting there on the basic base modelling...

Hmmm, but how do we know you haven't painted the side of the miniatures that we can't see in that photo? Eh? Eh? o_o

Looks interesting. I'm eager to see how it progresses.

Because I've already bitten off more than I can chew and planning to pain half early, and the other half later is frankly no sodding easier :)

Notice he hasn't actually denied it though... >:D

Notice he hasn't actually denied it though... >:D
Actually it's much more subtle than that. Either:
a) I have designed a diorama where all fifteen miniatures have been turned into cybernetic organisms from 1970's low budget tv shows.
b) the diorama is an international convention of living statues.
In either case all the miniatures are naturally silver skinned and clothed.
-
This looks hugely interesting. Can we get a close up of the minis your using please?

In response to a miniatures list I am preparing to use the following :

Black Scorpion
no pictures available but a tiny parrot and pirate monkey that I shall work in somewhere...

A change of direction. I have begun modelling the part of the diorama that I am most concerned about!I am relatively comfortable and happy modelling with styrene sheet and resin, but much less experienced with green stuff and organic modelling - 'sculpting'. So hence this is a bit of a step into the unknown for me.
I'm not going to explain why part of this diorama appears to be set in a forest and another in a workshop - I shall leave that to the reveal and the supporting short story...
(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pPxwJ3U2HMw/UnZr-eI4Q_I/AAAAAAAAEJg/Mqk3MUelnwQ/s400/WIP10.jpg)

Looks good to me!

is this the 28mm version of that crappy Eddie Murphy/Dudley Moore film about the supertank?

what puzzles me most is the combination Ewok jedi and BSG characters.....

Superb stuff, looking forward to watching it unfold 8) :-* 8) :-*

Closer than you might think... ;)

I won't continue asking or assuming, I might spoil the surprise.... ::)

Looks great

Right well that's that part of the diorama modelled, and painted.
What? You don't believe me?
Well, I *could* show you! but it would simply ruin the final reveal...
Now... Back to the workshop side...

Very interesting WIP to follow ...
;D

OK, I'll show you some of it (minus the bit that will obviously give the game away...)
Ignore the background - it will get painted over.

And a small conversion...

-
Your 'organic' sculpting skills are better than you think, the pieces are very nice.
-
The tree is ace - a little smooth but heaps better than anything I could do.
As for the conversion - no idea what that could be (he lied) lol
Keep up the little titbits please…
-
great project! thanks for sharing.....and keep it coming.
-
Well, that took a lot longer than I had hoped.
OK, so I am still not showing you what is in the middle - but it IS finished. If all else fails I can just enter this part of the Diorama in the competition and it'll still qualify. (I don't have the best record for finishing stuff!)

It looks like a zoo display of a Jedi Ewok adjacent to some kind of Imperial vehicular repair facility.

Already looks bloody impressive, the back piece is great, love the diffused light of the sky. What have you used on the base for the forest floor clutter? It looks very effective.

That's what I keep thinking. No clue what the final intent is!

Thank you for the positive comments guys. It's always encouraging.

It's oak leaf scatter, from decorplus I think.

It's two parts of a story. The cause and effect.
I hope it's also funny. :)
More work on it over the weekend, so pictures coming soon.
-
I cannot comment... It is magnificent but I don't understand it? I'm waiting for more clues... :)
-
No pictures today :(
I put a black spray undercoat on the main model. BUT I forgot to mask off a couple of areas that should have remained clear. So I am thoroughly hacked off. Anyone know how to get black acrylic spray off clear polystyrene sheet without scratching or melting it?
I then spent the afternoon designing some graphics for decals .... Which I'm actually very happy with!
-
Sorry to hear about the masking woes....
Try amonia... Window cleaner or similar. Acrylic don't like it, no sir. Follow up with a 'soft' plastic (a bit of styrene off-cut should do it) scraper to clear off the softened paint. Good luck. This is an awesome entry Mr. B.
-
don't scrape!
You can remove acrylic with acetone, but with very soft tissue - and then there is a special polishing paste for helmet vizors.
But this will be a pain in the ass - I'd rather replace the clear acrylic, should go easier
-
I have done some further work on the model but I'm in two minds whether to share it or not as it WILL SPOIL THE SURPRISE of the final reveal.
For those of you with no patience, there are a couple of spoiler links below the picture on my latest blog post here ... (http://brandlin.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/diorama-of-doom-x.html)
Enjoy. But don't reveal the secrets in this thread for those who want to wait for Xmas.

Thank you.
I'm certainly getting there slowly!
HELP PLEASE
The black edges of the various pits are going to be hazard striped. Anyone got any advice on how to paint them in so that all the stripes are the same width and angle. There's about 18" of them to do, and I think they'll stand out badly unless they are very even.
I've been thinking of making some form of mask out of styrene to spray yellow through but that seems very fiddly for the various different locations.
-

Make the mask out of Tamiya masking tape. You can get it very thin, and it is very reusable. That way you could airbrush it... ;)
-
Thanks grant. I'd considered using nod cutting masking tape but I'm not sure I'm going to get it even. Tamiya tape would at least always be the right thickness.
I'll have to experiment...

Well I do not know what your diorama will look like but I learnt something today, thank you :)
I believed I understand English but …"hasard" means random in French so I wondered why "random" stripes would need the same width and angle… OOOh I did some research and I understood my mistake.
I'm not helping you, but you helped me ::)

Today's updates find me going back to modelling again! Trying to make a version of this...

A bit more progress this weekend. I have base coated the hazard stripes and finished the robot 'head', as well as worked out the lifting arrangements and painting up some gubbins for decoration. More (and bigger) pictures on my blog. (http://brandlin.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/diorama-of-doom-xv.html)

ARRRRGHHHHHH!!!!!
I just ran out of yellow airbrush paint!!!
Moral of the story - when airbrushing a large item like a gantry crane, make sure you give it a good undercoat - BUT NOT BLACK!
I messed up and put a black primer on the gantry crane and after about 6 coats of airbrush yellow it was still a greeny colour (yellow has notoriously bad coverage and is very translucent). At the weekend i went an bought a 'sand' coloured flat matt humbrol acrylic primer and hit it with that which is a FAR superior base colour for the yellow. I've just hit it with the first of the yellow top coats and it is covering soooo much better - and then i RAN OUT OF PAINT!
Does anyone know of a model shop in the Warrington/Chester/Worsley areas (that's where i am working this week) that carried Vallejo Model Air paints????
HELP!

So, it all starts to come together ...
(Albeit after two hours of winding cable and linking chain and fiddling and more fiddling and cursing and yet more fiddling ... you get the idea!)

-
Looking good.
Sorry about this - but I have only just read your plea for help with Hazard stripes.
(I know that you have now done then - and they look great, but)
Try laying strips of Tamiya tape one next to another and when fully covered, remove every other strip. Always paint the Yellow first and the Black (actually dark Grey) next.
You can get transfers/Decals of hazard tape - One of the large aircraft carriers has it on the decks.
Like I said, looking goood.

Perhaps the full potential of a home terrarium with a jedi ewok in it, has not yet been fully recognized as a modern energy source? lol

I am wondering: Does no-one make ready-printed adhesive hazard stripe bands?
I'm sure it would be possible to print them on labels, then cut to the desired with/length, but I would think that there is a market for 'pro' made stuff??

Now I've seen the figures painted up, I have to say your figure painting is as good as your diorama building and detailing- bloody superb! I'm envious of your talents and your speed. Looking forward to seeing this all come together in one piece.

Episode VII - The Last Pedestrian.
A week last Tuesday, not far from a certain forest moon...
The Emperor is dead. The once mighty galactic empire is in turmoil; it's elite forces destroyed by a rag tag bunch of amateur insurgents and knee-high plushies armed only with native spears and slip hazards. The catastrophic failings of the mechanised walkers were clearly exposed.
With the death of the last of the Sith, scientific rationalism rather than a quasi-religious kratocracy, is in resurgence.
Assuming command of the remains of the empire military machine, in a ramshackle maintenance hanger, the new leader, Kim Wrong-Un, commands that all remaining bipedal units are retrofitted with a more proven motive method...

Lol. It's in pride of place in my display cabinet! It's only the second diorama I've ever finished.
I had this idea for about three years, so I HAD to get it done so I could think of something else.
Not sure what's next...
I like doing something with some humour, and taking the piss out of the genres in games.
I was thinking about a space marine with power fist trying to open a particularly tough jam jar...

Or probably funnier, a space marine with two power fists stood at a urinal with his legs crossed and a perplexed helpless look on his face.
