NEWEST FIRST EDITS:

The final piece of the diorama is finally here: The Daily Planet newsstand. Now all what's left is to suspend the newspapers.

So I received a small LED that fit in the top of the phone booth. I painted it red and re-wired it to a plug:

Now I need to suspend the newspapers and add the figure to the scene.

I decided to re-separate my Clark Kent and Man of Steel figures into two different Dioramas. I think it looks better this way:

I acquired a rare 1/6th model for the suitcase he held in the movie!

I lined the interior of the cabinet in black velvet and blocked it from the back.

I added a laminated ID Badge:

EDIT:

I made tiny sixth scale Superman newspapers for my diorama from every headline that appeared in every Superman movie I've seen. I'll have them blowing in the wind when the last two pieces for the diorama arrive... for now, I haphazardly placed them on the ground:

Original Post:

So the new Phicen M36 I preordered 3 months ago is finally here, and so are many other key components to this diorama.

This is a really, really tall figure and the downside is, all the clothes you will find won't fit it, so you'll have to do many tricks to hide that fact. In this case, the pants had to be pulled real low to cover the ankles, so I covered the waist with the coat. The shirt can barely be closed, so I kept it open to show the Superman crest.

I'll be adding a secondary light in the near future but I thought I'd share this for now.

I couldn't find a proper 1978 Superman costume but the closest I found online after a long search was the slightly paler evil Superman costume, which didn't matter much since almost the entire costume won't be seen under the suit (I used Stark's grey suit):

And this is the small secondary light I'll be installing opposite the booth close to his head:

That's pretty damn cool.

Well done, indeed.

PureEnergy


That’s an excellent rendition of an iconic image.  


The fit of the suit’s certainly a predicament - although your smoke-and-mirrors photography and posing techniques make decisively decent improvisation...  

Great Scott! Take out the hem!  

Or, perhaps, put a Met’s cap on him and turn the bill way to one side?  Razz


Nicely done, sir.

I saw this movie again on TV recently. The above scene is very well executed.

Looks very good to me, and I even love the little light you are preparing to complete the scene.

Really cool dio and a great rendition of such a classic image. I am curious, what made you choose to use the M36 body for this. It really is tall! The M32 has such a similar, lean muscle build, but you would probably have a much easier time getting everything to fit, as well as him being closer to the same height as the phone booth. Just a thought, and welcome to take it or leave it. The lighting looks really cool, and give it a great comic cover quality.

Well, no, you are not alone...  Clark is busting out of that - but he’s far too fast to have been seen by the bobbies!  

Also unseen perhaps are the emulsified remains of the poor Dr. Who - inadvertently stomped into the grid amidst the blur; his last word: an abruptly truncated, weakly uttered, “Occupied...”


But this is simply classic, and given all the awkward complications encountered along the way, it’s very well done.  

I also happen to approve of your choice for the tall M36 body, Tare; quite literally, larger than life - which brings to fore the requisite suspension of disbelief that such a fellow could ever effectively pass as “normal” - although perhaps it is somewhere therein that we may find some quintessence of comic superhero lore.  

The factors of appropriate props and their variable proportions seem quite par for the course of this craft, but I suspect that you’ll eventually find and / or cobble and introduce tweaks of odd ends in order to further compliment the scene, and make it match perhaps yet closer with regard to some certain specifications.  

Meanwhile, I say again...  I dig it.  Smile

I originally had bought the M32, but Clark Kent looked really... short in it. Nothing like Christopher Reeve. And when I put him next to Henry Cavill's figure, he was actually a bit shorter and that's when it felt real wrong. I agree that M36A is taller than it should be, but I'd rather have him taller than he should be than shorter than he should be!

Yes, the clothes will be a BIG struggle for this figure, but TBH it's well, well worth it!

Well, that’s just tosh...  

With the exception of Harry (who had been out of country at the time), those are just the names of the local bobbies...  So, no...
 
There's been a dodgy lorry in the nearby car park for the past fortnight; however, lacking a good butchers, it were - due to vantages being proper obstructed by an opened bonnet.  


Nevertheless, I expect the Yard to be sending their aces around to investigate the unfortunate demise of the good Dr. Whom.  (One yank reporter, a Ms. Lane, I believe, had had the wherewithal to correct the poor chap’s appellation for the obit section of the morning pages)...

But in all seriousness, Tarexmd, I stand by my original compliments, most sincerely.  It's excellent, truly.  Be happy and be proud.

Great update, Tarexmd.  A fantastic diorama that continues] to improve...  

I do indeed dig the “action” of the transformation.  

Very nicely, sir.

So Peter is into 1/6th?



But what insufferable nincompoopage is this?


Peter Parker is not pertinent.  Nor is Peter Piper, who is also probably quite preoccupied picking pecks of pickled peppers, I’d presume…


So that leaves Mr. Lorre...  Which is homonymous (a euphemism for incorrect).  

And I really wouldn’t know the answer to such a question, but I’d say it’s rather dubious at best - since he is, somewhat - well - actually, quite deceased!

 
Not being keen to current events is one thing, Mr. Razz; but that man’s been gone for several decades now; let him rest in peace.  

At the very least - if ever your Peter did tinker with some sort of ancient form of 1/6 scale figures; not unlike the fellow, himself - your tense is certainly well expired…  



PS: Clearly, your “Peter” isn’t into much of anything these days, is he?

Yes.

Yep.

That’s right…


What…?


Yes, my inability to decrypt your obtuseness certainly makes me the obtuse one...  

Embarassed



PS:  Incidentally, however does one go about pretending to be smarter than they actually are?  Seriously, just how would that work exactly?  

And do you now feel that you’ve successfully exposed me for attempting such deception...?   Why, you sleuth, you...


Perhaps we should just get this over with and whip them out right now onto the measuring stick…  You know, for Peter’s sake...

Apologies to Tarexmd... Wink
