Thunderbird 1 Behind the Scenes 1:12 scale

Hi All,

The dio is 1:12 scale and TB1 is 1:350 scale which is a perfect size match for a 1:12 scale figure. The partial building is made from foam board and balsa wood, the table is also made using foam board and balsa wood.

The scenery on the table is a mix spakfilla and sand and once dry was painted weathered using Vallejo Paints. The trees and bushes are from Woodlnad Scenics Fine Leaf Foliage and TB1, the vehicle and small figures are all 1:350 scale. The background picture is a hand painted piece I scanned from a book and then printed it off and the frame work is done using balsa wood and plastic tubes.

The roof brackets are made from plasic tube and the lights hanging of them were made using plastic card and old ear phone cord, the studio lights were made using bottle caps and plastic tube and the wheels are 1:72 tank wheels and the cords are from an old light. The camera is made using balsa wood for the legs and the camera is made from plastic card and greeblies form the parts box. The ladder and the step up are made from balsa wood.

The Kirk figure is just for scale.

Ron

What a wonderful idea for a diorama!

I think you should cross post this over on
Eagletransporter.com
That forum is about all things Anderson and they would love to see this creation
 
Excellent work

I love the model of a model concept,

Next step is to make behinds the scenes model a model of yourself, making this 1/12 behind the scenes scale model :lol
 
Awesome!! Love it.

Something like this would be cool for the AT-AT scene.

Cheers mate and damn I just did a 1:144 Bandai dio, I'll have to get another one and do the behind the scene dio using it.

Cool... Keep me informed!! :) LoL

If you stick "scanning yourself 3d" or something like that into your favourite Internet search engine you'll find a lot of companies that can do this for you. And some homemade solutions as well. The resolution of a lot of these is pretty crap, but if all you want to do is to stick your head on a model figure in a spaceship, they'll be more than adequate!
