in seriousness… it does sound like a good idea… the possibilites…
Look at these two photos by Mathew Albanese the tornado diorama is incredible. He uses steel wool and cotton, airbrushed to match the angry storm and then just lights the photo with strobes for the final effect!
WOW!!! [:D[ That’s amazing, the lighting really makes me buy into that one. Wonder how much work it would be to add one of those storm-chaser aircraft that the Air Force(?) uses?
I wonder if flower foam could be used? Or maybe a mold made and pour resin into it? Just thinking out loud.
That cloud chamber Manny received as a Christmas present from Werner Heisenberg
might be useful…well…maybe not.[:$]
Now THAT’S superb execution and imagination!
Great! More posts like this one please!!! [whstl]
WOW, that is impressive!
Wow! That is an impressive piece!
Rather than an aircraft, I think a civilian vehicle fitted out with orange warning lights and antennae would be more accurate. I don’t hear of too many storm chasing aircraft following tornadoes unless a news chopper happens to be up and about.
Wow. Yes, really impressive and very well done.
But this is a scene that was built to be most effective in a photograph, with proper lighting. This dio is not something that could be nearly as impressive when viewed in person. Still, kudos to the builder for skill and imagination!!

It’s true, as it is set up this is best for a photograph, but all that would need to be done for a permanent display is to put it in a really nice wood display case. The clouds could be attached to the top of the box, the back and sides can be painted and strobes could be used for the flashes of lightning. It may not be as impressive as a photo because in the picture you don’t have the perception of the true size but it would display really well as a very large shadow box type of diorama.
