Hey there, I started a few weeks ago on a on a Krote kit from Maschinen Krieger. First I didn't had a diorama for it in mind at all, but when I was building this kit I couldn't resist to add some leds to give it some special effects. The only problem was, there was no room inside this model to hide the batteries. So it needed a base to solve the problem.
Oh, and I added a small electric motor for the gatling gun that can be activated by pushing the red buttom on top of the head.
When I was constructing I,ve putted some masking tape on the inside of the head light so it won't be sprayed with the paintjob, I still have to figure out on how to protect the rest of the lights.
I've used a wooden canvas frame as a base. The inside is hollow so the battery holder fits in there, it still has to be mounted togetter with an on/off switch. The wiring goes from the legs trough the hull inside the head of the Krote.
I still need to do some fine detailing on the diorama. The Krote itself needs some extras to, like some bumper stickers or a foxtail on the antenna. Well I'll come up with something. Cheers!
