messy60 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I did a couple of small dioramas in 1/144 when I was in high school, although nowhere near as nice as these. In order to protect the model and base from getting dusty or destroyed, I built them on the lids of baseball card protectors, and then slid the body of protector on to the lid, creating a nice little acrylic display case. Here is what I used:Pro Mold trading card case Jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pirata Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Nicely done! I've always wanted to do something like this in 1/72 with the waves crashing up against the side of the plane. I like the way you did yours. Very cool! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lucas Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 Thanks Guys ! Is good to know that my work is good :lol: Jack-Swiss, I made the Palm tree by these way: I use Piano wire 1/16" and Tamiya masking tape to make the the trunk. So with Tamiya XF-52 and a weathering the result was this: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lucas Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 The leafs I did with Vellon paper, here in Brazil we call it Papel Vegetal, it was used to thechnical drawings. The tips of the trunks I did with epoxy mass and the coconuts too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lucas Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 Each Palm Tree have around 3,5" and 4" tall, and the leafs about 1". thanks to see Quote Link to post Share on other sites

achook-achook Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Here is a great example on how small things can make such a big impact! Great work and really like your diorama. Thanks for sharing your palm tree technique. Cheers, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
papa_bear Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Wow Lucas this is sweet! Amazing work, like the details much! Thnx for Palm tree tips Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scifi58 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 (edited) Lucas, Awesome work! I like 1/144th myself and appreciate the work you did on the Raiden. I'm bookmarking this page for the trees as well. Awesome. Two points if suggestion: The sand really looks out of scale. In this scale I would probably use plaster since the grain would be near invisible. At least I would use something finer like popcorn salt. Second, from a diorama point of view, the canopy being closed with no pilot I can see (or is there one in there?) puts a plot hole in the story. If he bailed, the canopy would be open or gone. I have a Sweet P-51B that is nearly finished with a scratchbuilt cockpit, cut away flaps, and a pilot to go alongside. I just have to vacuform another canopy (the first failed) to pose open. Now you have me thinking I want to get a little more involved than just standing on a tarmac with a pilot after seeing your work!

POMPEO Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 (edited) nice job on the micro scale, the scenery are very good, but the sand is out of scale, but is not a great problem cheers Edited June 3, 2009 by POMPEO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I try to make the sand on the scale, I use to it a paint filter, that make small grains, like salt.. but.. it was the too small that I can do.. About the pilot, it is there ! The dio history is a belly landing and the pilot don´t go out.... thanks to all ! :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
