First time diorama questions
Posted by TB6088 on Tuesday, June 6, 2006 3:42 PM

Although I have never built a diorama, I would like to do one involving a 1/144 scale Boeing B-314 Clipper in a tropical setting (dock-side facilities somewhere in Hawaii, circa 1940).  I expect to do some scratchbuilding, but am wondering how much in the way of pre-made figures, docks, streetscape features, trees (palm trees), vehicles, etc. is available in 1/144 scale, and what would be the best sources of these products.  Any advice would be appreciated.

I believe that's very close to N scale and there should be some good stuff in the model railroad section of your LHS. Surf around here http://www.walthers.com/ and you should be able to find some stuff.

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