It is great to see some stuff from the orginal Star Trek series here on ISY.
I can't wait to see the finished dio.

I've had a very busy weekend.  Researching what the planet Vulcan looked like, which meant watching this episode a few times and also watching a lot of Star Trek. Vulcan is a reddish planet so I needed to redden the arena wall. Mixing up burnt umber with crimson red, I dry brushed all the stone work including centre platform. Then mixed up crimson with burnt umber (crimson being the dominant of the mix) I went back round dry brushing all the stone. Then each of the five pillars had a coat of this latest mix.

I recently purchased a TNG Sarek figure to customise and to my delight he came with the gong and the mallet from this episode. I have base coated them with gun metal grey and left it to dry over night.

This weekend I will laying the sand down for the arena.

The past couple of days I’ve been busy. Mixing a tub of sand with a PVA/water solution (4:1) then adding in both white with a touch of orange paint. The sand was spread around the arena floor and surrounding area behind the arena wall and left to set.

I dry brushed gold over the five pillars to texturise them.

The gong and mallet were both dry brushed with black to weather both pieces. The rope of the gong and mallet handle were painted a reddish brown.

Once everything is dry I will start putting it all together.

I hope you enjoy the test PCA shots before I complete this diorama.

I returned from work this evening with only one thing on my mind, to finish this diorama.

Taking a knife I trimmed the base at the back of the diorama, curving the edges so they run parallel with the arena wall. Taking my sander and neatening the surrounding edges. Once completed I took my paint brush with some black acrylic paint and painted a border along the edges of the base.

After gluing a couple of pieces of fishing wire to the gong, the other ends where glued to boulder, making it able to hang freely over the fire pit. The boulder was then glued into place at the top of the central column.

So enjoy seeing this. Can't wait till I get to that episode now. Just finished the one last night where Kirk was two people (some type of transporter malfunction turned him into two Kirks one bad one good). Off to share the latest.

Thanks mate!  Amok Time is episode 1 of season 2, I do prefer season 2 even though season has some great episodes!

Ron has done the original bridge and transporter room, I am wondering now do I stay with TOS or shall I go for something from one of the other series? DVP
