lol. (strange that they don't have a laughing Emoticon).

Anyway, very true PFJN, unless it's the ant's perspective. 

There's a widely-published (with wildly differing captions ) of a CH-46 Sea Knight  that has perched on the roof of a building with the nosewheel out over some abyss while troops transit the lowered rear ramp.  This would be a striking dio--if needing a huge foot print in 1/35 (pretty large in 1/48, too, come to cases).

That was a great read, thanks John.

The one I’m thinking of is a CH-47, but someone built one on this forum, can’t remember for the life of me who did it. 

Edit- found it, model has built it

Unfortunately photobucket strikes again. It was a fantastic Dio you can still see if you click on the broken photobucket link will take you to the album, pics are still there. Thanks for reminding me of this build CapnMac

Yikes !

 That one would definitely have me in a funny room with padded walls and a jacket to keep me from harming myself ! !

 That would be like a firing squad . Eyes shot , Nerves shot , Fingers  shot , Olfactory senses shot , ad infinitum .

 But ! Whatta way to go out !

Whad you say ?

   You want to do a cut-away of that ? Hmmmmmmmm. Let's see , my grandson's rocking horse is big enough . Note . Hey Bish ! What's with the flag and aircraft tail outline ? It takes up your whole space .

Now, I have seen models like that of mines.

Saw another pic of a CH47 in Afganistan doing the same, hover over open space while the grunts unload on a rocky outcrop, from the ramp.

Now that would be an interesting one.

Sorry TB, i didn't realise it took up that much space. That was my tribute to the RAF on its 100th birthday. Took it down a few days ago.

Seeing the referance to the Chinook reminded me of one i would like to do.

This one made the magazine. 1/8 scale resin model with lots of mods.

Well, sure but it took a while to put together. Aquatic environment dios are best as CG.

What do you mean by CG?

Will guess "CG" means "Computer Graphics"--a notion I'd second compared to, say, resin immersion.

Otherwise, to my thinking, you are left with making a deep/tall display case, and having the "surface" just under the top of the case to imply the depth.

At the price of resin, you would need to win the lotery to afford that much anyway.

Going through my stash I pulled out my tamiya quad guntractor and 25pdr kits (one comes with glue lol).  I was poking around and found this pic.  Anyone make this style pontoon bridge?  I know there's a bailey bridge in 1/35.  Would make a nice diorama

Complete with glue :)

What about stalingrad 1942 or Battle of Kursk?
