Digital Dioramas

LOL! The Torch mentioned Bangor, Maine way back when?  I had no idea.

I live in rural Maine, but I lived in Portland for a few years (Maine's biggest city, but it's nothing compared to Boston or New York City).

Was the joke supposed to be as if Bangor is out in the sticks/the country? Bangor is small Maine city, js.

RD, You're dioramas are so neat!

Thanks guys

I was born just in time to be the right age for the first wave of Saturday morning cartoons and the classic HB superheroes like Space Ghost and the Herculoids, as well as prime time shows like Gilligan and Adam West's Batman.

When I started reading comics in my preteen years, I hit the the beginning of the Bronze age.

Those shows and comics, the artists and stories of those times, are the ones I have good memories and attachment to, even if I like content from other ages as well.

Uploaded the Spider-mobile and the Dynomutt Dioramas to their folders.

Another Cityscape - the first of a possible group for Batman

I used the cover of the hardback collection "Batman from the 30's to the 70's" (Which I have and got way back in the 70's!)

I wanted to add a little something more so I put the Batcopter from the 60's Batman show behind them

Standard problem of not being able to zoom enough in the viewer. Making the mesh bigger just caused more problems.

Batman - standard skin from Batman SA YL. Skin by Atomic Robot

Robin - Robin Classic Kx - Skin by Skindex and Kenn X

Batcopter - Made by Floyd Lewis for Sketchfab and converted to Freedom Force.

Thrown together by me.

These are all fantastic. You really take me back to Saturday Morning. A bowl of cereal and the best part of the weekend.

watching my favorite shows and eating Captain Crunch. Good times.

[Randomdays]

Thanks WyldeFyre. Same here, which is one reason I'm doing them

Of course, a lot of credit goes to the original modelers and skinners. Having the characters are great and having them run around in game gives that feeling as well, but putting them in a classic scene adds to it.

Trying to get the meshes posed to match what's in a known scene or what's in my head is fun. Robin above is a good match, but getting Batman's cape wrapped aroun his arm is beyond me.

Theme sung by Ted Cassidy, the original Lurch on the 60's "Addams Family Show"

That tiny ant and his atomic powers
has what it takes and always makes the vilest villain cower.

Atom Ant!

Part of the Atom Ant/ Secret Squirrel show from Hanna Barbera in 1965, with a total of six different cartoons. In 1966, he was split off into his own show with the Hillbilly Bears and Precious Pupp, while Secret Squirrel got the other two.

A good childhood memory, as Wyldfyre said, with a bowl of cereal in front of me.

Mesh is an stl by Peter Ferrell on printables.com, but was brought into Sketchfab and skinned by justsantiego.

Rigged to male_dwarf, but the pose made it a bit wonky, especially around the arms, so some tweaking had to be done.

Mailbox and flowers from the models resource. Tree from Freedom Force. Mushroom and anthill from sketchfab

This one is a bit smaller than the others and I was able to zoom in more. I may have to see if that helps with the other DDs







Updated with better grass and sky

Along with the GForce (the movie) drone flies, My Atom Ant is one of the tiniest action figures I own! I loved it and can't wait to add it to the action! It looks great!

Another Batman scene

I think that the "New Adventures of Batman" that Filmation did in 1977  was the last time they worked with DC. It featured Batman, Robin, Batgirl, and Batmite on the good guy side. As an added bonus, it featured Adam West and Burt Ward doing the voice of Batman and Robin

Changed my standard city scene by pulling the buildings back and adding a street to the front

Batman and Robin in the Batmobile is my previous import from years ago

Batgirl on her moterbike by Tommyboy

Batmite is by SCD. I shrunk him down on height only, which widened him a bit in comparison. Still not a great match compared to how he appears in the show.

Standard problem of zooming in with the viewer

Uploaded to the Diorama folder. It looks like I didn't upload the other Batman scene, so its uploaded as well

  nice diorama!

It looks amazing, captivating and reminiscent of the animated series! You've given them a great setting! They have their own little house!

    Speed Buggy!

A small diorama for HB's Speed Buggy cartoon.

Mu existing import of Speed Buggy with the skope of Tinker. Added in Cranlox's Mark and Debbie, and posed them with just a couple of traffic cones from the model resource.

I like  this one and think it looks good.

I just keep loving all of these. Going to sit back Saturday and watch some old cartoons.

Hey Abbott!

Abbott and Costello movies were always fun to watch growing up, and one of the best was "Abbot and Costello meet Frankenstein"

I'd line to do a couple of simpler AC DDs in the future - "AC Who's on First?" and "AC Meet the Mummy"

For now, here's "AC meet Frankenstein"

Lake shore scene and rowboat from Sketchfab

Trees and log from the "Empire Earth 2" game

 Abbott - an stl head put on male_suit.

 Head skinned by Randomdays

 male_suit skin is Jimmy Olsen Crime King by Atomic Robot

Costello - body, tie and head are an stl skinned by Randomdays

 arms and legs are from Cranlox's Wimpy from Popeye.

Frankenstein's Monster - Mesh by BIL, skinned by Atomic Robot

Dracula - male_suit with a skin by Atomic Robot. Cape from Texas Jack's Dracula

Wolfman - male_basic with a skin by cmdrkoenig (Dana)

I had really wanted to add the "Creature from the Black Lagoon" in the water near the rowboat, since AC met him as well, but the mesh is Tommyboy based with tons of hidden items. It was really hard to work with and crashed Blender a few tinmes.

Standard zoom issues

Definitely the most magnificent of the dioramas!    

[Randomdays]

Three quick dioramas set in space. None are new, but the characters looks so much better as a diorama than just the white background of the character viewer.

Standard problems with zoom, and the first two were so large they weren't showing up in the viewer till I cut the size by 50%

1) Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space, flying through space in their ship. Only thing I'm missing is Bleep and Sebastion, the two mascots

2) Space Ghost, Jan, Jace, and Blip in the Phantom Cruiser. Jace looks white in the FF viewer because he has dds textures that FF can't use.

3) Space Ghost, Jan, Jace, and Blip flying through Space. Jace looks normal here since its the FFvt3R viewer


I thought Dean had helped recolor Jan's blue to match Jace's on the uniform. If so, I'm not sure where that skin is.

All uploaded the Dioramas directory.

Very nice Dioramas, and adding

[WyldFyre]

Always Amazing! Keep up the nostalgia!

[Randomdays]

Spent most of today working on this. It's amazing how good the meshers and skinners we've had over the years have been. It came out pretty close to the original cover.

Standing on the shoulders of giants.

Spider-Man versus his greatest foes, at least in 1975.

This Diorama is based on the Marvel Special Edition Treasury for the Spectacular Spider-Man. I still have my copy but its a bit faded after 50 years.

It has a modified cover of the Sinister Six with the Lizard added in. The book featured the Sinister Six story from Annual #1, the first Lizard story from #6, and a Molten Man story from issue #35


Spider-Man - Spider-Man TVlite from Tommyboy. The skin is from Dark Jared of the Skindex, except for the mask which is still Tommyboy

The Lizard - Lizard TVlite  - mesh and skin from Tommyboy

Dr. Octopus - mesh and skin from the Beyonder

Kraven the Hunter - Kraven TV - mesh and skin by Tommyboy

Mysterio - mesh from Gren, skin by The Ultimate Evil

Sandman - Mesh by TJ, skin by Podmark

The Vulture - Vulture TF - mesh and skin by Tommyboy

Electro - mesh by BIL, skin by Firestorm
