As soon as I finish the diorama I am now working on ( and a few other WIP ). I plan on spending the winter doing my pet project. My precious...

I'm going to take a 1/ 35 Stug ( fully leafed and camoed ) and accompanying diorama  and do it all in black and white ( with varying shades of grey )

I think I have enough stock footage and other info to work from.

Just wondering if anybody ever tried or did it.

Should be interesting none the less. I did start the Stug and so far it's a little weird.

Will post pics when I have something more to show.

That sounds like a fun project a guy I know does that with them old movie figures. He's done the Mummy, Frankenstein and Bela Lugosi.

I've never seen that done, but what a cool idea.  Be sure to post up your build.

Thanks,

I've been intending on doing this with a 'Creature From the Black Lagoon'. 

 

Duplicating the look of a Second World War photo sounds awesome. I too really want to see this when you're done.

I've seen this technique done with SciFi themed subjects, in particular, a 1/9 scale Alien model kit. Which, like Cliff, would like to do one myself. 

I really like your idea, and, I will be following once you start.

If you put it into a shadow box, you would be able to control the lighting in the box and enhancethe final look. Down side is that you only see half the model Stick out tongue
