Hi folks,

I love a good diorama.  I especially like it when someone can take a photo and make a diorama of it.  Given this, I thought a thread showing diorama pics or photos that would make cool diorama's would be useful.

To start with, here are some photos I think would make interesting dioramas:

Tempted to do 3 and 5, and motorize the model. Flick a switch and watch as the lazy bugger gets flung across the room.

Here's one I've been meaning to get at for a while, I already have both models:

Hmmmm, reminds me of an AAC initiation ritual I head about once, where they strap the poor unfortunate to the rotor head of a Gazelle, spin it on the starter motor, and take bets on how long he'll last before he re-decorates the hanger walls...... :o ;D

Now I know somewhere I have a pic of a decorated elephant pulling a Supermarine Walrus in somewhere hot and another of a semi delapidated Walrus with a goat teathered to it with the caption `I think I`ll eat the rest of it tomorrow`, but their obviously to be found for another day

It would be a big diorama, even in 1/700, but I think this would be cool:

I'm going to build this as a diorama someday, at least the three big ships - USS Midway, USS New Jersey, and USS Mispillion. They are all WW2 veterans that were upgraded over the years and continued serving into the 1980s. I'm going to call it "Old Dogs Can Learn New Tricks".
In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.
