Dioramas I would like to build.

A guy in our local IPMS Chapter built this one a couple of years ago... I had the photos on PB originally...

Look at the mirror in the top photo- lighting in the hangar deck to simulate the fire. The flash on the photo undid that effect coming up thru the smoke column on deck.

OOH !

 MMthrax , Big hopes there . Perhaps in 1/350 ? Or 1/144 ? This would be a very eye catching dio for sure . A re-fueling in air ? I don't believe I have ever seen one .

   Another would be to shadow-box the boom operator's station looking down on the  " Buff " for a real point of view !

Oh ! 

    Me likes dis . Specially when da chips got dem Knuckles on dem . Dey looks reddy ta fyte ! An example of street talk from a well known American city .

  Yes , Peter I do like this . I did not know the Swedes kept their patrol Boats in Pens like this . Very interesting .

  Plus , the Boats look a lot like our old " Crockett " Gunboats ! Squarer and all , But the resemblance is there .

Hmmm;

 Can you say " Everybody loves a Nut ?" Especially when it Doesn't fail such as here ? Perhaps racing on three wheels is a new challenge ?

Oh !

   E.Z.8 mechanics would have loved to be  able to have made them that light to work on ! Lol. Lol.

I gotta say , Where'd you get that photograph ?

    That's what it looks like to me , a Drone shot from maybe 500 feet or so .Very Nicely done !

Now ! ! 

 That would be a very interesting Dio . Not something you'd see every day .You could do that in a Pearl harbor setting too !

That is a really nice diorama. The work on the base is absolutely superb. The models are very nice too.

Here’s my recently completed Battle of Stalingrad dio:

Really neat thread.  Some far out stuff.  

This is the one that I want to do.  It is a little farther along in my "curriculum" but I can see it coming together in my head...

Now that would be a nice diorama.

And one that can follow a similar approach to your Blue Angels (but horizontally I guess).

SMS BAYERN-RAISED FROM SCAPA FLOW-1933

Peter !

 Where in heavens name did you get that picture ? I saw it once many years ago and laughed it off .That might make an awesome Steam-Punk type dio . I mean really , a chariot race with Motorcycles instead of Horses ?

I can understand .

   Did that off line on the birthday of the Marine Corps !

With the recent echoes, how about a squadron of tanks getting covered by an avalanche.

What about Stalingrad 1942 or Battle of Kursk?

Going through my stash I pulled out my tamiya quad guntractor and 25pdr kits (one comes with glue lol).  I was poking around and found this pic.  Anyone make this style pontoon bridge?  I know there's a bailey bridge in 1/35.  Would make a nice diorama

Complete with glue :)

a notion I'd second compared to, say, resin immersion.

At the price of resin, you would need to win the lotery to afford that much anyway.

Will guess "CG" means "Computer Graphics"--a notion I'd second compared to, say, resin immersion.

Otherwise, to my thinking, you are left with making a deep/tall display case, and having the "surface" just under the top of the case to imply the depth.

Well, sure but it took a while to put together. Aquatic environment dios are best as CG.

What do you mean by CG?

This one made the magazine. 1/8 scale resin model with lots of mods.
