Dioramas and water-making
« on: 14 Jan , 2009, 02:17 »
hey jan, took a look at Your "Probefahrt"- diorama, Your waterline diorama outlines exactly like mine  ;D (see gallery, we call those mooring- things "Dalbe".)

so please, don't put a gull on it as I did!  ;D ;D

another interpretation of the same theme:

maybe better use the black flag than the white ensign................

back to dioramas:

know what I'm dreaming of?

combining a 1/72 VII (or 1/144) with a 1/700 or so liberty ship in a bookcase diorama (don't know the right expression):
because only a part of the case is open the view is very much directed; so a certain perspective is possible.........

damn 'there is a real live with job and such!

"probefahrt"? harbour? fisherboat? ::)

thinking of all those photos, keeping in mind it's a late war boat (no waving fisherman then, more refugees on the baltic sea :():

very nice for the "Industriehafen- Diorama" I think.

If i was building the dockside dio- that would be the stuff i had to put in it:

http://www.artitec-deutschland.de/1.80.369.htm
http://www.artitec-deutschland.de/1.80.303.htm
http://www.artitec-deutschland.de/1.80.136.htm
http://www.artitec-deutschland.de/1.80.297.htm

...and probably the flatbed railcar with torpedos on it. Not to mention Opel Blitz parked on the side of the warehouse. I can almost see it with my imagination running overtime. ;)

as rui martos said (to Mr. Mox): it distracts the view from a fantastic build.

just drydock and walls: lots of possibilities for figures and stuff and one can show off even the lower part of the boat...............

haven't seen a convincing dockside diorama yet in the net.

flat (calm) water is the most convincing, there are only one or two satisfactory "wave" dioramas around (basic knowledge of hydrodynamics is missing from time to time)

Siara, that was pretty much my initial though, problem is the size, the boat measures 51 cm - with space front and aft and some room on the quayside, the size of the diorama would be 65x35 if it wasn

that one of the convincing wave dio's.

Plexisglas? I used the textured stuff. Problem: if one side is painted the ripple effect is lost.

cut out a sheet of plexiglass and let the boat rest in it, and the bottom of the harbourbasin and a thin layer of tinted "water" on top of the plexiglass to give som colours and let the light play on the lower hull.

That way it can be done without cutting the hull, and you will still be able to see the details on the lower hull.

Cheers

That crossed my mind few times. Exactly the same thing. You must be reading my mind. :o

Transparant paint for windows or the Tamiya line of transparent stuff ?

Call me Kzin telepath  ;D

Wonder if a moderator could split this tread so the dioramadiscussion could be seperated to the general modelling forum - not that i mind it being here, just getting a bit confused ...
