Dioramas I would like to build.

What about Stalingrad 1942 or Battle of Kursk? 

With the recent echoes, how about a squadron of tanks getting covered by an avalanche.

I can understand .

   Did that off line on the birthday of the Marine Corps !

Peter !

 Where in heavens name did you get that picture ? I saw it once many years ago and laughed it off .That might make an awesome Steam-Punk type dio . I mean really , a chariot race with Motorcycles instead of Horses ?

SMS BAYERN-RAISED FROM SCAPA FLOW-1933

Really neat thread.  Some far out stuff.  

This is the one that I want to do.  It is a little farther along in my "curriculum" but I can see it coming together in my head.

Now that would be a nice diorama.

And one that can follow a similar approach to your Blue Angels (but horizontally I guess).

Here’s my recently completed Battle of Stalingrad dio:

That is a really nice diorama. The work on the base is absolutely superb. The models are very nice too.

Now ! ! 

 That would be a very interesting Dio . Not something you'd see every day .You could do that in a Pearl harbor setting too !

I gotta say , Where'd you get that photograph ?

    That's what it looks like to me , a Drone shot from maybe 500 feet or so .Very Nicely done !

Oh !

   E.Z.8 mechanics would have loved to be  able to have made them that light to work on ! Lol. Lol.

Hmmm;

 Can you say " Everybody loves a Nut ?" Especially when it Doesn't fail such as here ? Perhaps racing on three wheels is a new challenge ?

Oh ! 

    Me likes dis . Specially when da chips got dem Knuckles on dem . Dey looks reddy ta fyte ! An example of street talk from a well known American city .

  Yes , Peter I do like this . I did not know the Swedes kept their patrol Boats in Pens like this . Very interesting .

  Plus , the Boats look a lot like our old " Crockett " Gunboats ! Squarer and all , But the resemblance is there .

OOH !

 MMthrax , Big hopes there . Perhaps in 1/350 ? Or 1/144 ? This would be a very eye catching dio for sure . A re-fueling in air ? I don't believe I have ever seen one .

   Another would be to shadow-box the boom operator's station looking down on the  " Buff " for a real point of view !

A guy in our local IPMS Chapter built this one a couple of years ago... I had the photos on PB originally...

Look at the mirror in the top photo- lighting in the hangar deck to simulate the fire. The flash on the photo undid that effect coming up thru the smoke column on deck.

Thats a really impressive dio. The fire effects in the hanger look really well done, i can image how the smoke would look without the flash. I am guessing thats 350 scale, really impressive work. Thanks for posting.

Uh Oh;

 You forgot one ." Frankly , my Dear , I don't give a Da%$ " From Gwtw

Yeah , " G " ;

 When I was a tad ( That was a loong time ago .) The Buffalo , N.Y. Museum of Science and History had one of those . Detailed even down to loaded and unloaded mine carts .

All these awesome ideas, mine looks boring. My 1964 VW Bug as-found. I want to create the garage it's in, and the bug in the same condition, with all the boxes, parts missing, rust, etc. 

I have a Revell 68 VW kit on the shelf I can use as the basis for this. I'm more hung up on recreating that garage. lol

Hmm, might be fun to "tinker" with that one a bit--(like adding the contra-rotating rotors that design would need to have), or just upgrading the "sky soldier" to have an M-14

Anyone care to "re-create" one of Shep Payne's diorama's ?

Oh, I think many of us already have tried!

How about this one: 737 fuselages that have fallen off a train?

Have a nice day!
