Great job Ira. Do you have any pictures with the lights off/dim and the Diorama lights on ? I took some photos in the dark, but they didn't look too good. I had the best results with Natural Lighting... |

That's to bad that the pictures didn't turn out, I bet that the diorama looks AWESOME with the lights off and the Laser Beam and the lights inside the house Glowing. |

Exactly! And, that's fantastic, is very understated, but it is difficult to find an increase that is most awesome, great idea and execution, I love it! Ira, my friend, you are and will remain the maestro!  |

I think it is pretty cool that you saw this project in those two boxes and added a bunch of non modeling stuff to make it work. Barten would be proud. Nice work my friend.

Lost track of this one for a while, but I'm glad I found it again. Great work Ira.
One question. With the different types of plastic used, did you have any paint problems?

I used Dupli-Color Filler/Primer lacquer over the bare plastic. Then I used mostly Acrylics for the colors and Testors Glosscoat and Dullcoat to seal the Acrylics... |
