Well here's your answer, Julian
This build started as a straight "Out of the Box" project but then became an "If it's in the Box" build.
However, it has now ended up as an....
"On the Box" build LOL
I had been planning this diorama from the outset once I had the "in the box" concept in my head.
The idea is to use the cardboard from the box to make the diorama and it's supposed to be a 1950s cobbled street outside the Ferrari factory in Maranello (I don't know if there ever was one but who cares! ROFL). The base is a 19cm square of foam board
I did some Google research and found this recipe for a cobble pattern
I made a template and penciled the fans onto the foam board and added a step which will be the sidewalk.
I then spent several hours cutting up the Hasegawa box into 5mm squares for the cobble stones, curb stones and paving slabs.
The cobbles were then glued into place...
About 8 hours worth of eyeball killing work later it was finished. Everything you can see is the kit box cut up.
And this is more or less how it will look with the TR on it.
The whole thing will get a coat of grey primer once the PVA has fully dried and then I will try to paint it up.
Thanks for looking in
