Re: The Winds of War, My very first Diorama!

remember looking at the dioramas in the tamiya catalogue and tried to make something similar, still remember one of some paratroopers walking by a big house (think it was british paras in holland, name of the dio could have been "Arnhem") and there where a big tree to, always wanted to build something like that since then, but still not dared to do it
Great dio Bob!!

Thanks! I have only built one diorama with British Paras in Holland. It was called "Lost Cause" and in on my masterclass thread.

They say "You can't make a silk stocking out of a sows ear" but that Dio proves em wrong.
That is one hell of a build in the dark ages of modeling,no wonder your a Dio master.

Thanks Kurt,

When I look at this today, I see so much wrong with it in every possible way, it's hard to be positive about it. I guess for what little experience I had, the absence of aftermarket altogether and lack of availability of figures, I did OK. Just OK.

I've never thought of myself as a master of anything. I'm still learning every day just like everybody else!

I remember seeing this in FSM and was floored by the details, and attempted my first dio with posterboard, Elmer's glue and dyed saw dust! It is still a beautiful piece of work.

I had nowhere near the results that you accomplished with your work, Bob. :woohoo: In fact, my dio "folded."

Well, just keep practicing! I've been making those buildings since the early 70s!

My "folded" dio was done back in the 80s...but the sheer thought of even attempting one back then was so exciting, even if the outcome was not successful.
