Help me...
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, July 25, 2005 10:16 AM
I have been modeling Aircaft (WW2 in particular) for a few years now, and i have always wanted to do an airfield diorama. Now, i am really starting to think about making one for a GO 229. Can you guys tell me the basics (its it hard, its it costly, ect.) and any other tips to.

Cheers, the noob

You want it to look like which one? I don't see an airfield dio.

Here is a site that will help. All sorts of info on dio building. I'm sure you will find what you are looking for.

I believe that picture involves forced perspective. The aircraft in the foreground is a larger scale than the background os it can only exist as you see it when photographed. Photographed from any other angle, it would look absurd. You could do the same by buying or making a hangar and add some 1/72 scale aircraft next to it and posing your larger one close to the camera. When photographed at qa low angle like this one, it will look like there's more depth to the scene.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
