At the Mountains of Madness Diorama

This is insanely cool.  "Billn53" at the BritModeller forums created this diorama of the Miskatonic University expedition to Antarctica, featuring the fateful flight to the Elder Thing city.  I could quibble with the use of a Ford Trimotor instead of the canon Dornier Wal, but that would be picayune.  To the average person the Trimotor is far more familiar, having played a vital part in Byrd's 1929 expedition.

There's so much to like here.  You really have to click through and check out the full gallery.  The diorama is filled with amazing details and easter eggs, including the story's giant albino penguins, the all-too-descriptive wall carvings, and a hungry shoggoth.

  1. Speaking of ATMOM, how has progress come along on the order of patches and notebooks? I don't mean to pester, but there hasn't been an update in quite a while. Thanks :D
