Title: My home Aerodrome
Post by: Zabu on July 10, 2013, 06:24:50 AM

This is my first diorama so far.

It's 115 X 60 cm.
It's not finished yet cause i have a few adds to it like a Huck Starter (slowly coming together from an RPM M.M.G.S. Ford T), an ww1 german refueling set and fire pump, a Drachen baloon and... well what i see that might fit in that 1/72 scale.

For now it's all about na Hanger, trees, bushes, foliage and wood spread around.
As vehicles i got a Crossley Tender and a  Ford T ambulance to go along some Orion figures.

Very nice, very atmospheric.  Reminiscent of Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome.  That hanger is magnificent.

Many thanks guys.  :)

@IanB
The hanger came as an idea, but then i couldn't let go so i went for it!
I tried to explain how i did it in other thread.
Here:

I will be here for any help that i can provide if anyone tries to build one.
One thing i can tell... it was quite fun to build it!

Cheers

This is a very nice way of showing models. I like it much more than my classical showcases. Unfortunately I do not have enough room in the living room for such a diorama...
