Diorama of Doom - SCOOBY!
« on: October 20, 2012, 02:55:57 PM »
I wasn't sure where to post this ... but i thought you might like to see...

Those Nice folks over at The Forum of Doom are having a new painting competition. The Unofficial Diorama of Doom 2012 is being organised by my good friend Inso on behalf of the forum.

The last time i entered this competition (and indeed its the only painting competition I've ever entered) I came second by a whisker. So I have some sort of title to defend! Ha!


The theme of the 2012 competition is ADVERSITY .

I have a couple of ideas for this competition, my first is based on the Hasslefree Miniatures "Scooby Gang" miniatures. showing them 'before' and 'after' Adversity (or as it is more commonly known, 'the Zombie Apocalypse').

I came up with a name for this piece:

"Shortly after Mystery Inc discovered that the Brain Devouring Zombie of Hawkins Manor wasn't Old Man Jacoby the Caretaker in disguise, Velma instigated the 'shoot first, unmask later' protocol."

I suspect this may not fit on the base though, so I'll probably shorten it to:

"Shoot First, Unmask Later"


Progress so far ...





More and bigger pictures on my blog. Comments and criticism welcome.

The figures are amazing. I also really like the "shoot first, unmask later" protocol... lol

Cracking idea and lovely brushwork!
I think that the full title should be depicted somewhere on the diorama, though.

One small question: Is there anything the not-Shaggy has about his person that would prevent him being usable in the 1920's?
I love the figure but am unsure what he has on his webbing/belt.

Thank you for all the positive comments guys.

I love the figure but am unsure what he has on his webbing/belt.

Shaggy has an automatic in a close holster on his right hip. Everything else on the webbing are just pouches.

Hope that helps.

I was thinking the same thing, I want someone in the group I have to perhaps have a Battle Axe, the fire axe works well....the semi auto pistol is ok, that could be a standard 45.
