Bing! Idea for a diorama... (Long post)

Hi Rusty,

What scale is this undertaking going to be in I have noticed that while searching for figures in the 1/32 or 1/35 scale that there are not too many things that a not directly related to combat What I have had to do in this scale is to order figures that are close to the pose I need and replace the heads and sand off and re do their uniform There are probably figures in a large scale that shows the five Honor Guards in the proper uniform Your undertaking is a fine one and I wish you luck with your search, but you just might have to do some scratch building

Wish I could have been of more help

I am figuring on scratch building the coffin and the floor, the figures are actually the easy part, except of course the "detailing of them" and actually getting them all together and in one spot without sacrificing to much detail by adjusting them to the proper positions which is what we modelers are all about right, detail and adjustment ?("even if that means our own attitudes" hahahaha)... I just need to get started first and see what I can come up with and stuff, as far as scale... I am figuring once I get the 5 pieces in whatever scale they will be in, I will be able to "eyeball" the coffin. Its easier to eyeball stuff for me once i get a basis to go on. It stinks that its so hard to find figures that are not in "war mode". This was an idea that I started off by saying "WOAH this will be EASY" It obviously won't be as easy as it seems, it will be VERY nice for me, I am sure I will do 5 of them before i get them down to a science=)), anyway I was talking to a museum friend who knows a curator of some "other" president *no names* needless to say I won't be doing a diorama of him and Monika Lewinsky anytime soon, . I am thinking of after I get it right and done RIGHT I will send it to the Ronald Reagan Memorial.

Thanks, RSaddlemire your continued help in this matter would be greatly appreciated, I am figuring it will take me about 8 months because at the moment I have NO tools so it will be interesting.
