Title: Transformers
Post by: kathymillatt on September 07, 2012, 12:59:36 PM
Hi

I joined this forum ages ago at Nick Ogden's pushing and thought I should get around to actually posting something!  I know quite a few people from other forums.

One diorama I did recently was based on two model kits of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee.  I love Transformers!

I've just bought one of Ken's shopping trollies to go on it...

This was great fun and a little out of my ordinary railroad modelling.

Nice Kathy, who would have guessed.   Now you need to try some military diorama.

Thanks Guys

It's nice to do something different and I had never done 1:35 before.  The bug has bitten.

As for military, it does appeal as it has such interesting "damage".  I have a Stryker but I'm waiting for the next transformers model kit to build the diorama.  Here's hoping it's Megatron. :)

Oh, Lord. Girls and their dolls!

It's about time you posted something. Turned out rather adequately, too.

Thanks Russ

I never had dolls really - guns and action man was more my thing.

I'm impressed to be rather adequate on my first outing too :)

It's only because you are a girl that Mr. FinescaleRR himself is being nice to you . Plus he is afraid that you might go over and steal his own dollies .

  Anyway you should forget your Transformators and get yourself a real scary dolly http://industriamechanika.com/blog/shop-industria-mechanika/adrian-smiths-frankenstein/

That should convince your Mum that you've really lost it .

Welcome aboard ,

I was thinking of Frankenstein so there must be something Freudian in your answer!

I admit in recent times I visited a few toy shops looking for large "transformers", hoping to make up a diorama for the grandson ( and me  ;)   ).

It's still on my bucklist, but ended working a "Kong" dio in the meantime........ ;D

I keep looking in the toy shops too because I am missing Megatron. He's £60 at the size I need which seems a bit much!

Kong is good but I hope that you aren't having to build the Empire State Building too. I'd love to see some photos of your dio.
