1/35 USS Constitution Diorama - anyone know where to find one?
Posted by Irish3335 on Friday, July 2, 2010 1:07 AM

Hi all,

I saw a picture of a 1/35 Diorama at a IPMS show, it was a scene of shartpshooters in the ships rigging - I was told it was a kit and was available, anyone know of it / where to find it?  Thanks much

The master was by Dr Joel Labow and the model was a resin kit produced by Meteor Productions.   Meteor has since gone out of business.   You may be able to find one on eBay.    Labow visits the SteelNavy message board - you may post there and ask him if he knows where to find one.

Duquesne Military Miniatures makes a rev war Figure of a sharpshooter in about 1/8th 6-7" high If you re-model teh hat and paint the jacket the correcct green, he looks just like a marine fighting top sharp-shooter.  I've used this figure several times to creat a Marine fight top sharp shooter for clients.  You of course have to scratch build the fighting top and rig up some yards and shrouds, but it is well worth the efffort.

When Doc Labow didn't respond directly to your post on SteelNavy I posted a tickler message direct to his email.

He wrote back saying that he has all of the masters for the fighting top and is working trying to find someone who can put it back into production.

Posting by Rusty White of Flagship Models indicates that he's coming out with a Constitution mast diorama this year (2011).    Question has been asked if it is Doc Labow's master and which quarter it can be expected
