hey everyone, there has been a great response to my MONACO diorama base and LIGHT UP electric whiplash whips. so its time to open up the thread and take some orders. ill tell you a little about it first.

the base measures about 19 inches wide, and comes about 15.5 inches out from the wall, the fence is 18 inches high. it will be cast, and the fence and guardrail will be reproduced and built as well. it will also have shredded 1/6 scale F1 race car parts, like in the film, and a crowd backdrop behind the fence.

im offering it with or without whiplash’s whips.
with the whips, which will be fully integrated , the power box and wire will be hidden and built into the base. the power box is very small, and runs off a 9 volt battery, or i can include an ac adapter so you can plug it into the wall ($10.00).

so for the whips and the base, its $250.00 (add $10.00 for ac adapter)
without the whips, it will be $200.00.
for just the whips without the base its $100.00, $90.00 if you send me your whiplash whips to use for parts. Otherwise I cast the pieces myself.

this is the SHIPPED price (in the USA, outside of the USA , and alaska or hawaii it will be actual shipping.)

ill get to work on each persons base in the order you are added to the list, to get on the list i have to require a $100.00 deposit (this is to purchase all the parts, and so i dont get screwed and stuck with a ton of finished dioramas.) PM me for my paypal address, and in your payment be sure to include your username and shipping address. ( either as a gift, or enough to cover fees please if youre uncomfortable sending as a gift.)
i’m going to cut the list off at 8 people, and once those orders are filled, ill decide if im able to do more.

here are some photos, followed by THE LIST! (keep in mind, race car parts, and crowd background will be added)
thank you all!

* due to the underestimated work and materials cost associated with this base, the first 8 people on the list should feel very very lucky! hate to do it, but the price has to go up if i am to take more orders past these initial 8. the mold will have to be re done, and i wont do it unless i have at least 3 more people on board. just one of the drawbacks of doing everything yourself, by hand i suppose! haha i have a feeling once people start getting their bases and taking photos, word will spread, and there will be more interest, so i needed to chime in and mention that the new price will be 300.00 shipping NOT included this time. sorry to do it. i know its hard for people to imagine why it would cost that much, but trust me, doing it alone, one base is about 48 hours of work, and the material cost is... alot.
im not complaining, i love these things, and will be SO HAPPY to see them in people photos, but its tons of work.
i also appreciate everyones patience with the process, if this were my only job i would have been able to bust these things out. but unfortunately it is not. thank you all! *

Damn, that's an outstanding dio Bishart. The crowd and car parts are going to really add a lot of details.

At this point, it's a bit too rich for my blood....but if by "car parts" you mean a 1/6 Rolls sliced in half, you can count me in. :) :clap

haha i wish, ive only found 1 1/6 rolls and its really really pricey. these will be racecars.

as far as funding. its 100 now, but youll have time to come up with the rest, as im sure you read. so let me know if something changes. but either way, thanks for the kind words, im glad you like it. i love it, and am glad its done, and im waiting for the mark V anxiously!!!!
 
Yeah, that's quite a talent you have. Very resourceful and creative.
I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one eagerly waiting to see the finalized diorama.
 
2 questions:

1) Do the whips flicker or are they constantly on?

2) How much would shipping be to the UK?

It looks awesome. I've been twitching to buy something 1/6 figure related for a while now and this may just fit the bill...

the whips flicker, at any speed you choose OR they are constantly lit. the power box has dials on it, so you can adjust it to your liking. (ill take some pics of all that stuff soon.)

shipping to the UK, i have no idea right now, im sorry, i dont know how much it will all weigh until i get my first cast.

hope this helps! and thank you!
 
WOW that is absolutely incredible :clap

Would love to get on your list but the timing is awful with 2 SSC pieces being charged / shipped this week :gah::slap:gah::panic:

I hope there is no time limit on your production b/c this piece must be mine! Oh yes, it will be mine! :lol

thank you very much. there is no time limit, but at 30 ppl ill shut down the list for a while, and decide if i want to keep doing it. hope you can get one once you recover from your ssc purchases, i know im hurting right now from many preorders... haha:hi5:
 
Agreed, both of you.

The first time I saw the proto pics of the Mk.V, I decided then he will be on my shelf in battle damaged form.

Bishart's dio is perfect for my needs.

yeah, i knew i wanted him battle damaged, thats why i was stoked to get this, and the whips finished, they are going to look great wrapped around him.


here is a pic of the power box, showing how small it is.
