Ever since the second season of Lost (when they uncovered the Hatch and what seemed to be the abandoned remains of an unknown technologial project) I ahve bee thinking about doing a diorama about an "archaeological" dig, set in the future on a far distant planet,, where the remains of a technologically advance civilization has been found.
So, here is the basic concept.
We have a group of archaeologists getting ready to excavate a site. In front of them, you can see the foundations of some sort of structure. No clues as to what it might have been, or if there is some sort of something buried underneath it (I'm thinking of something like an energy plant, nuclkear reactor, that sort of thing).
To set the mood that it's in the future, there will be a model of an SEG-888 sitting there, without the rider.
For the half-buried foundations of the technogical artifact, I'll be using pieces from an old Space 1999 Moonbase Alpha model (rearranging them slightly).....
...but will have them half-buried in dirt and gravel, dusty brown, and looking much smaller in scale because it will look las though the ruined remains of a building's foundation surround it.
For the archaeologists, I've ordered three MA.K figures and will be adding the set which is supposed to go with the Falke kit.
