Quick update*** The UFO diorama took 1st place in the diorama category at Modelmania in Houston Texas.
Video coverage of the event. My model shows up at 6:09
Here's another UFO diorama I recently finished. The figure is in HO scale so it would be that scale if someone wanted to add this to a train layout.
The model is a kit-bashed 1/72 Area 51 that originally had a clear green dome and windows. I made all of the windows and added some blue LED lights inside. It is held up by a steel rod welded to a flat base that is screwed to the plywood platform.
The base is plywood, green foam, gypsum cement and cheese cloth, then painted and landscaped using Woodland Scenics trees, turf and static grass. I also added a waterfall and small creek. The Water is a clear 3D material from Woodland Scenics called Water Effects.
The last one of these sold for a pretty penny so I built another. It is for sale but I didn't place an ODT ad because of the stupid price.
