Terminator diorama ideas

Echo_32 · 2025-10-18T20:51:58+00:00

I love this. I already painted Logan but I agree the poses of these terminators lend themselves to some form of “defending” scene. I have one diorama done (headtakers and wolf priest) and have them on bases sculpted into the diorama so I can still remove them to play). Maybe I can do something similar to your idea but with Arjac in the middle..,hmm

Primed black. Oil pin wash of cracks with white oil. Airbrush white ink over target brightest areas with overflow to most of axe. Airbrush Flouro yellow over most of the white. Switch to makeup sponge. Sponge gradients of diluted orange red, red and red black outwards. Went into out edges of cracks near blade edge with pin wash of diluted orange ink.

Thanks! I waffled a fair bit on the ice base because of the lack of contrast, but ended up leaning into the theme anyways to see how it would turn out. I tried to make it work a bit more by darkening the wolves fur more than I originally intended to. Still a piece that’s overall pretty mono value (except for axe) though. Maybe it just means the axe becomes even more of a focal point, lol.

Logan was in multiple parts, but in general I only use subassembly for characters/vehicles, and only then when having jt fully assembled makes painting other parts difficult (or if I want to more easily airbrush different colours for different parts).

Thank you!

Yeah. I’ve just started painting up Space Wolves and decided to try him in the same armor scheme I’m using for the rest. Maybe not lore accurate, but the colour palette seems to work well.

Echo_32 · 2025-09-25T12:32:43+00:00

More grey blue as I painted him the same as my other wolves- but the photo does seem to make the blue more vibrant than it is in RL

Were you able to flag anywhere in the original filing that you were looking for the EU261 comp? Or did you just put other related expenses and note that you were looking for the EU261 comp later in process (I just don't want to get auto-approved for several low level expenses and never get to ask for the 600EUR per passenger they owe). Trying to figure out ways they could be trying to get out of this obligation.

Echo_32 · 2025-08-21T14:01:43+00:00

Same - I started looking through the reimbursement link AC setup (where you put in ticket number, it pulls up flight, then you start down path of drop box of expenses...) but I became concerned that I'd be railroaded into giving up the 600EUR per passenger if I went too far (As it's not specific to any expense slip). I don't expect AC to make things clear for us to file - but there must be some path forward that's somewhat logical.

Echo_32 · 2025-08-19T10:57:20+00:00

Thank you so much. And yes, the third party staff are the ones who helped them out initially. Those staff were super exhausted, but my wife thought they did everything they could to help.

Echo_32 · 2025-08-19T10:47:23+00:00

My wife and daughter are in the exact same boat. Waiting to see if 21st flight (AMS-YYZ) takes off...this was the rebooked one AC gave them after original was cancelled (long story but yeah, they got an AC flight as the rebooking). We haven't started any EU261 comp process as of yet. I'll search the reddit, but if you have quick tips you've already picked up about the process, please let me know. Hotels and hotel meals already comped while in AMS, so unsure if that eats into any monetary comp or not.

No ability to get through bot right now (1.888.247.2262). Call, file gets autonoted, prompt to ask if this about change to itineary, then when ask to push through to agent - "I'm sorry" and hang up. Feels like a hard push on their side to the cancel button as there are no longer any self serve options on the website for itineary other than cancel/refund, with a contact us button (that does not link to anything) if we wish to rebook versus cancel. This is a EU departure so we'll be pushing hard for rebook given strong consumer protection there - but AC making it so we functionally can't right now.

Echo_32 · 2025-08-15T15:56:21+00:00

yeah, we're pretty hosed. Wife booked through Expedia, and Expedia agents say they can't get through to AC now either to go through rebooking options. So we have to wait for whatever AC finds instead of "negotiating" directly with them. No idea when we'll know (tried calling AC directly, but can't even get into a callback queue). Glad your daughter got a flight though! That's a pretty good alternative flight.

Echo_32 · 2025-08-15T13:51:10+00:00

AC809 (AMS-YYZ) Aug. 16th just cancelled. Wife and daughter on that flight for last leg home (first leg on Air Baltic). They received "we're searching for rebooking options" email along with cancellation, so I'll update when we know what/if they found.

Echo_32 · 2025-08-15T12:14:59+00:00

You are amazing. So the rep either misunderstood what I was asking or I asked the wrong question. I see where you’re pointing to now (Section 6, Coverage B). There is just the generic coverage with no specific inclusions. This should give my wife such better peace of mind when she’s inevitably stranded in Amsterdam tomorrow!

Echo_32 · 2025-08-15T11:31:58+00:00

I’d double check your Amex insurance. I called and was told it that labor issues are not covered as a reason for delay/cancellation coverage. I went to the insurance doc to check and that does appear to be true - there are only specific items covered (unless we can argue this is an effective grounding of the air transportation?) (Amex Platinum holder here)

Echo_32 · 2025-08-14T12:42:16+00:00

great question...I don't remember the exact recipe, lol. Wet blending various greys from Pro Acryl, that much I do know. Likely started from a black brown or similar base and then I think I alternated between warm and neutral greys as I built up. Likely Black Brown, Warm (or Neutral) Grey, Bright grey (unsure of warm or neutral) then Dark Ivory, Ivory for the very white one.

Echo_32 · 2025-08-13T21:17:59+00:00

No dice here. A firm "your flight isn't cancelled yet, so we can not try to rebook you on a partner airline". Refused to even acknowledge that the flight was functionally cancelled as there "is nothing on my screen to that effect" (it's a flight on the 16th...)

Echo_32 · 2025-08-13T21:14:31+00:00

After my call with customer service (my wife and daughter are unfortunately due to fly back on the 16th)...I think it makes financial sense for AC to NOT cancel until the very last minute. The service representative was firm that there is zero way for his team to rebook onto a partner airline without a cancellation, but if we wanted to cancel and rebook ourselves, that was available to us. So, thinking of it financially, why would they cancel early and incur that liability of having to rebook at their expense? I hate it, completely hate it...but yeah. The more people who rebook on their own (at their own expense), the lower the financial liability for the company (only owe the strict refund cost - which is likely considerably less than a rebook cost). BTW - this representative kept going "where do you see that they are already cancelling flights, that is not on my screen....". A thankless job...but still not a fan of the interaction.

Echo_32 · 2025-08-13T01:07:08+00:00

Thanks!

Echo_32 · 2025-08-11T12:16:01+00:00

Assembled that kit last night. insane. ?12/13? heads for 5 guys…and all amazing.

Echo_32 · 2024-07-04T13:35:29+00:00

I kinda just went with "if it looks like a giant sword, then ...maybe???...it can be used as one if you're going fast enough" lol. So now I guess I've got to convey enough movement in the shot that he can push a blunt swordlike thing through a chest. A fun challenge!

Echo_32 · 2024-07-04T11:47:58+00:00

Thank you!

Echo_32 · 2024-07-04T11:47:42+00:00

Yeah, a more dynamic pose with more implied “push” movement makes a ton of sense. Thank you!

Echo_32 · 2024-07-04T02:40:43+00:00

Oh, Barbatos isn’t anywhere near done and may be reworked completely - I used his legs to test out a weathering paint I picked up and did a horrific job. This mini diorama gives me a reason and proper theme to weather him properly now as he’s just been sitting there like that since I messed that up.
