Metaluna Mutant Bust diorama
by Geometric Design
Sculpted by Joe Simon, 1/4 size.
Concept for diorama began on 6/25/2008 and is was completed by October 2, 2008
I had a great amount of fun created this little diorama for the
Metaluna Mutant bust.
Creating the little space ship, modeled off of the ship from the
original movie. It's a corny looking ship, but so was the one from
the movie. I did it up in grand fifties styling, really cartoony.
Growing up in the '50s gave me just the edge I needed to pull this
little gem of a dio off in my head. I really hope you enjoy.
I added the Earth below it, as the last piece I create for the dio. I snatched the beam shining down to
Earth from the ships bottom core, just like they did in the original flick, "This Island Earth." I did very
little Photoshop work on this piece, just added the starry sky and a "whoosh" for effect.

| So what do you think? I love the way the Earth turned out. I took as many research pictures as I could find to get the same feel the Earth has from above. Then faced with the dilemma of "How do I attach the darn Earth in the dio. I tried string and that didn't work, all it did was to make me have to plug up holes I drilled in the ship for it to attach to. Silly right. Then it came to me. Just like in the flick I'll create a beam shinning down to Earth. I like the pulsing movement I tried to pull off. It kind of looks like a yellow barber shop pole, lol. Now take a gander at the completed Metaluna Mutant himself. I worked hard on this one. I think he's the best I could ever make him. I hope you like him too. |
I like 'im.
Now check out the complete dio.
Now check out the complete dio.
I hope you enjoyed my little show.
I may decided to write a story for the creature. I always wanted to take this,
my very favorite creature and give him different characteristics, instead of the ones portrayed in the original flick.
Ones that would be more believable. That sounds like a fun thing to do. And fun is what it's all about, isn't it.
Until ... you very favorite monster maker. I'd really like to be. From the village in the middle.
