I made this diorama a while ago and I decided to post some pictures of it. I love The Walking Dead and the first episode was my favorite so I decided to model this scene. The walls and doors are sheet styrene and the figure is on of the academy figures from Verlinden which was heavily modified to look like Rick in a hospital gown.

Actual Scene I tried to model


Model I made

That's just awesome. I've loved light box dios ever since seeing Shep Paines but haven't the ability to pull them off.

Top stuff .......

Great job, Ryan! You really captured the mood of the scene. Very, very cool.

How about doing one of that M60 crashing through the fence at The Prison!

Chris

That's just plain cool. And it's from one of my favorite shows.
Were the lights flickering in the hospital? I don't remember.

Wow!! Well done indeed!!!

Don't know the show, but this is just great!!

The only thing I would change is the lighting: cold in the show, warm in the dio. Maybe use cold white LEDs, or just a filter!??

Cheers

Fantatstic idea and great detail. I wish I had come up with this. I like the comic as well as the tv-series.

Cheers

Wow, so simple but so effective!

What a great idea!

@Uruk-Hai , I thought I would dream when I saw your pseudo again. I remember you from long time ago but it appears that you made a lpng break. Welcome back

I have always loved shadow boxes and light boxes. Well done!

Thanks, Claude!

Well, not a break actually, perhaps not so productive as I would have hoped for and a more bit active on Planet Figure.

Cheers

Very cool! You captured the scene perfectly. Makes me want to make a dio of Rick hiding in the M1A1 while being swarmed from the first season.


This is my reaction the first time I read the doors.

Thanks for the kind comments everyone! I really had a lot of fun building this little light box vignette and I think it turned out pretty well (If I do say so myself).
