Do you have links to some website that explains how to build an airfield diorama similar to the one in the picture? I know Kalmbach has books on dioramas but I'm hesitant to invest in them after buying a few publications and noticing they tend to be reprints of stuff that hasn't been updated since the early 1990s or even earlier.

Have a look on the Hyperscale web site I seem to remember something on there. I will check my other `puter and see what I can find for you.

MonsterZero:

If I could offer one bit of advice. The reason some of the books have not been "updated" since the 1990's is that the method still holds true.

I personally have an entire bookcase filled with books, magazines and articles that range from the late 1940's to Present day. Each has a wealth of information. So don't dismiss the older books so readily.

Now to answer your question. If you review some of the posts here on the forum you will find everything you need to re-create that style of diorama.

That is a very simple diorama to recreate.

Items required:

Base

Static Grass

Sheet Styrene, Thin cardboard can be used to reproduce the runway.

For the shrubs you can use stuffing from a pillow dyed green and cover with dried spice (oregano etc.)

That's about all.
