These are the vehicles that will be used int e Brutus Diorama for the Transportaion Museum at Ft. Eustis Va. I have to redo some of the markings on the burning tanker The dio base is to be 45 1/2 inches long by 22 1/2 inches wide and only 8 inches tall.
You can see the rest of the vehicles for the dio here

WOW Dave! That's just gonna be one heck of an awesome dio!! Please do keep us posted!!

Dave,

Damn you're moving Fast Looking Great!!!!

"Nothing but blue skies for miles!"

"Put the pedal to the metal!"


cool stuff!!!

Animal,
Looking great. The fire/smoke effect looks awesome and realistic. Fire is one of the hardest aspects to capture in a model/dio. Looks great. Keep us posted on the progress.

Thanks for the comments guys. This will be my first serious Dio. I have been studying all you experts and trying to learn as much as I can about the art.

Dave thats going to be an awesome dio. i really like the fire and smoke. Cant wait to see the rest. Cheers Kevin

WOW!
That fire and smoke is probably the best I`ve ever seen! the dio will be awesome!
impressive. keep up the good work!

Whooooaaaahhhhh!!!!.......way too flipping cool animal!!

Man, I seriously want to be your neighbour for a spell! Just so I could look over your shoulder and learn from our Mr. Miyagisun!
And you're building this for the Transportation Museum to boot!
Geeeeez, between you and our Gunnie you fella's are building some very honourable piece's. And I for one am proud to 'virtually' know you!

Your fire & smoke simulation looks superb. And as everyone knows, that's a real tough one. . But with your usual aplumb, you've managed to pull it off ya bugger!

Hey...just as an aside, and a 'throw-it-out-there' kinda thing. There is a product made for the RR people. It's a really small piece (trying to think of the name) that RR people mount in their locomotive's to generate smoke in a small way. This might be something to think about incorporating either now, or in a later dio to simulate real smoke. It's one of those things that you can only use, say, during a model show or something, but........just something to think about.

Tread.

BTW.....you're not finished yet. I think we need to see a little 1/35th scale 'animal' sitting in the driver's seat!
Whadaya think guys?

Wow - that fire got my attention. That is one of the best fire representations I've seen.
The maroon in the fire is a bit maroonie but that's a real nit pick - I like it.

keep us posted.

excellent work... hit and burning effect is very good.congrats dave. I have no doubt this dio deserves to be a museum piece
best regards .

Wow Thanks a million for the kids words and suggestions. I think that you are right a little deeper red is in order. I will work on that. I still have to add some smoke around the tires. I will add this once the truck is in place on the base.

Definitely an excellent build. The fire & smoke are very impressive. Really fit to be displayed for everyone to see. Keep us posted on the development there.

These guys say it all . Awsome work there Dave. This beastie under fire is very impressive . Move on we want more we want more

Thanks again for the kind words. I will be posting progress photos of the Dio as I get it assembled.
