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).
Swedish Navy
Here’s my recently completed Battle of Stalingrad dio:
That is a really nice diorama. The work on the base is absolutely superb. The models are very nice too.
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 !
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 !
Oh !
E.Z.8 mechanics would have loved to be able to have made them that light to work on ! Lol. Lol.
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 !
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 .
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 !
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.
Thats a really impressive dio. The fire effects in the hanger look really well done, i can image how the smoke would look without the flash. I am guessing thats 350 scale, really impressive work. Thanks for posting.
Uh Oh;
You forgot one ." Frankly , my Dear , I don’t give a Da%$ " From Gwtw
Yeah , " G " ;
When I was a tad ( That was a loong time ago .) The Buffalo , N.Y. Museum of Science and History had one of those . Detailed even down to loaded and unloaded mine carts .
All these awesome ideas, mine looks boring. My 1964 VW Bug as-found. I want to create the garage it’s in, and the bug in the same condition, with all the boxes, parts missing, rust, etc.
I have a Revell 68 VW kit on the shelf I can use as the basis for this. I’m more hung up on recreating that garage. lol
Great idea.
Then when the real Bug is finished you can create another 68 VW kit for comparison and future memoirs.
