Tiny Diorama GB Oct. 1-Mar. 1

Modeling Subjects Dioramas
1

Welcome to the Tiny Diorama GB. I have been wanting to do something like this for a while, so here goes!

The rules…

  1. The diorama has to be 1/72 scale or smaller.
  2. It can be any type of vehicle, building, or scene. Large ships are not allowed. Most ships are already smaller than 1/72 scale.
  3. The size of the dio doesn’t matter, just try to add as much detail as possible.
  4. Feel free to go crazy with super tiny details!!![:p]
  5. Have fun!

The Start date is Oct 1, to March 1
(anyone who wants to start a little later is welcome, as long as they finish in time!)

Here’s who’s in…

SSpanzer…
duckman…
PakNick-40…

Fish-HeadAric…
hemble…
bultenibo…

4

1st sounds good for a start date.

5

welll heck, what if I am doing a tiny diorama, as in the whole size of it would be less than 9" x 9"? But the model is 1/48?

6

I won’t be able to begin until November. What’s the end date?

7

1st sounds good to me also

8

Sure, but just this once[;)].

As far as the 1/48 scale dio, I’m not one to refuse anyone… what do you all think??

Also, how does March 1st sound for a finish date? Or should I extend it?

9

Im in,with a 1/76 diorama,an SU-85 on a big base,maybe two of them

10

march 1st sounds good or maybe even sooner then that becausethese are small dios!

:slight_smile: i just put in an order for a bunch of stuff andi have a few ideas i want to really try!

11

Tentative to my acceptance in this, the diorama I strive to build will be recreating this scene, in 1/48 scale:

Never done something quite like this, and am not even sure if it fits as a “mini dio,” so if this isn’t the right gig, please just say so. I just happen to be scheming on starting this in late October/November for other reasons already… So gimme the go-ahead or the nay! I will be building it either way.

If this doesn’t fit the bill, then the other dio I am just beginning this coming week, much more simplistic and not as large, will be along the theme of this pic:

Although not joining this GB, some time ago I built a 1/350 scale diorama on a UK 1 pence coin!! A small section of plastic card ship decking, an anti-aircraft gun tub with the gun and brass etched sights and shield, ready use ammo lockers, a crew of two in the tub, a visiting Officer on the deck and another sailor with one foot up on a section of ship’s railing at the back! I take it to exhibitions, place it on a sheet of paper which tells visitors there is a diorama there, and provide a strong magnifying glass on a stand so that they can see it!! It has caused much laughter and discussion about the difficulty in finding a good source of trained spiders to do the build…!!

13

Cool! Would love to see a picture!

14

I can deal with the March end date…I’m in!

Cheers!
Eric

Fish-Head Aric,
Sorry! There is a digital camera on the Christmas list, however…
Maybe I should try a bigger one on, say, a 2 pence piece…

16

We gonna have a badge to sport after this GB is done? I can design something funky if you like. I do a fair bit of art using several programs (GIMP, PSP, etc.).

17

march 1st is great by me

Ron

18

sign me up!!! march first sonund good!

Aric, the 1/48 dio looks like it will be too big to fit the category, but the ship dio looks like it would look great! What scale are you planning to build it in?

Hemble, are you in as well?

Aric, if you could, I would like a badge possibly with a ruler, or some sort of measuring tool in the background, with the words Tiny Diorama GB in the front. That’s just my idea, if you want do design your own unique one, give it a try!

With the beginning coming tomorrow, I plan to reveal my plans then, and start!![:P][:P][:P][:P][:P][:P][:P]
