the UAMF 'Compact Diorama' GB. *** Dec/Jan Mojo Builder ***

[Dazzled]

Just looking for clarification of a point. We've established that the model should fit within the circumference of a CD/DVD, but can the CD be inside an open case? I have a couple of ideas, but my favourite would require an upright back to give support to part of the diorama.(within the confines of an imaginary cylinder shape of CD proportions!)

I'm thinking "cylindrical" too. I hope we're not planning the same thing.

I think you're probably safe! In my experience, to most people, "Being on the same wavelength" as me appears to be the precursor to some kind of breakdown!

Oh dear! not another one? I should be getting commission from the makers of Valium!

Here's a practice run:



USS Freedom 1/1200

That's a good example, and something we should clear up.

If you are going for the model = CD theme "trophy", you don't need to possibly ruin a good CD - you can mount your model on a blank CD, just have the theme CD available.

That's probably obvious to everyone, but ....

I'll just use the wife's collection of Robbie Williams albums

Justin Bieber CD's top the list.

I can just see what would happen to me if I did that

[JohnRatzenberger]

Bump !

Just to keep people lively, troll for a few new members, etc ....

I've got my CD & kit, all set ....

[Clashcityrocker]

Been pondering on this, and I have something in mind

Just verifying something. Does it have to be built on an actual CD/DVD or can I cut a wooden base to the same diameter as a CD?
Sorry if I've missed something here

[JohnRatzenberger]

Another Bump, to keep interest up. We have quite a number who have expressed interest.

Informally, what are you thinking about specific start time and length ?
Typically, our "mojo builder" starts about 25 December and runs through the end of January - sound right ?

[Arcwelder]

Oh, this looks like great idea.. I'm in and happy to go with the flow (does this count as a poll vote? Can't see where to actually vote). Now to rack branez for a suitable theme/subject.

[jssel]

Set to go here.
