Basic Diorama Construction by Pisis
Hi.
Today I created my very first dioaram. It is for my just finished P-51B Mustang in 1/72nd scale. The plane was flown by a famous 'Flying Tiger' ace Colonel Dave Lee "Tex" Hill in Kunming, China in 1945.
The creating of such a dio is very simple. All you will need is:
1) The model to be placed there
D)
2) A classic frame for pictures
3) Some fake terrain (grass, stones, trees, chips, etc... depends on the Theatre of Operation)
4) Shrap scissors or a scalpel knife
5) A double sided sticky tape
step 1)
Demount the picture frame. It will contain the frame itself, the front glass and the backside tough quarto paper.
step 2)
Take the quatro paper and stick the sticky tape all over one side
step 3)
Remove the second side safety cover. Now it should have a very sticky surface.
step 4)
Now take your fake terrain proprieties and simply pour or place them on the surface depending on your will.
step 5)
Now mount the quatro paper back to the frame and you're set! Simply arrange the objects as you need and you're done!
This is my very first dioarama and if you take in mind it was done within some 10 minutes, it isn't bad, I think. All the plane, the pilot figure and the base needs some improvement but the basic view is already there, I suppose.
Cheers,
Pisis
