The Loggie Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 G'Day All. OK - the show is over, but I would seek your council on the following display. I reckon that most modellers would accept that a model of a AFV with the crew figures in/on it, and operation it, would be entered into an AVF category. But what about when all/some of the crew is dismounted from the vehicle for whatever reason. eg - they could be loading ammo, caming-up the vehicle, doing repairs, stopped to eat ........ Would it be just an AFV, or would it now be a (single vehicle) diorama? TIA for your input. George, out............. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know there's no hard split between the two, but the best definitions of vignette and diorama that I've come across are as follows; - A Vignette tells one story. - A diorama shows many small stories put together to tell one big story.

Holeshot Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 The official AMPS criteria for Dioramas vs. Vignettes begins on pg. 13: http://www.amps-armor.org/ampssite/Documents/ContestRules/AMPS_Rules_for_Show_Judging_February_2013.pdf Basically, a diorama must tell a story, a vignette does not tell a story but incorporates the model, scenery, and perhaps figures.
