Quarter Dioramas

[baxter]

This thread is going to be a bunch of dioramas built on quarters. The first one is this A-10 in 1/1850th scale.

Your just a glutton for pain aren't you?.....That's cool......Rich

I recommend that you get an electron microscope and start carving on human hair!
lol!
that's really tiny... I didn't know planes could get that small...........

[Retired_for_now]

If you and paper-kosmonaut ever get together we're going to have a catastrophic gravitational collapse and lose you both down a wormhole ...

[murphyaa]

*rents Hubble telescope* Wow, that's a small A-10.

[ghshinn]

Now that's frightening. In a small way.

What you don't see is the tiny cockpit for the flea pilot.

[peereboom2]

What is this, a plane for ants? :)

[enigma]

how is this even possible.... lol

impressive work.

[lepercan]

Baxter!!! SO glad to find another member of the "Braille Scale" League! Wonderful work, keep it up. Relaxing, isn't it?

Ok, I build small, and that makes even myself look on in wonder...

Who says that I don't?

[baxter]

Thanks for all the comments. The next one is CVN-75 with a Hawkeye being launched. This is in 1/1400 scale.

[Kevin WS]

Excellent.

FG models?

Here I am. ;)

[Paper Kosmonaut]

Oh yes: Baxter, really awesome work! Building smaller than possible is such fun, don't you think? Looking forward to see more of your stuff.

[ghshinn]

1:1400? You gotta be kidding. That's truly amazing.

Garland

[papermate]

Is that an OBP A10? Wonderful miniatures!!!
How I thought I build small!!!

Papermate

[abbycat]

I think these are the smallest models I've ever seen. Incredible!

[baxter]

Thank you. The A-10 and the U-2 are from paragon,the vehicles are from ollie's paper models, and the carrier is from yuki yuki's old website.
And here is my verision of the U-2 spy plane incident in 1/1900 scale.

[Joe711]

Fine work and exciting topics.
Good!

Regards,Joe

My first thought was "You're not like other people, are you?"
Absolutely amazing work Baxter. I've built a few small things myself, but nothing like this. I think it's beyond my capabilities. But you've made me want to try.....

OMG - maybe I'm not like other people either :eek:

Steve

[baxter]

Finally got back to building some small models again. This is fiddlers green mustang in 1-1250 scale.

[papermate]

Simply fantastic. Perhaps use a dollar coin and put in a dog fight scene.

Papermate

[Thomas Meek]

Amazing, beautiful work, and very artistic in the design of the dioramas. I enjoy doing fine, intricate work myself, but can't even think this small. And everything looks so good!
Wow, and Congratulations.

Thanks for sharing, even though seeing your pieces makes me feel like a kid with a single edge razor blade, (and ready to hang that up, too.)

Does your camera have the capability to make an extreme close-up photo of one of those airplanes? I would like to see, as I am quite mystified about just how you manage to make them look so good. Thank you

[Paper Kosmonaut]

Wow. Wonderful job, baxter!

[baxter]

After a long wait I finally built another one. This one is a kc-135 and a pair of fiddlers green F-16.It is in 1/2000 scale. Thanks to scisorsandplanes for the great tanker.

[baxter]

All I do for the pictures is switch the camera to close up mode.

[elliott]

Great diorama as usual. Good job!

[Paper Kosmonaut]

I had to pop my eyes back in their sockets. Great job!

[paper hollywood]

These are totally amazing to me, Baxter. It would seem to me that any printable paper would be too thick for this sort of thing. I think if tried something like this I'd have to use a modeling material. My eyes blur at the thought, though.

[baxter]

Here is my next diorama. This is in 1/15,000 scale.

[elliott]

Wow! What an impressive model of such a somber subject. Looks almost like movie stills. Excellent work and at such a tiny scale too!

[croden]

Wow you guys are making my 1/1200 a340 look huge...

[baxter]

Here is my next model in this series. It is a destroyed Jagdpanzer. I think this model is in 1/600 scale but I can't remember. I am starting to run out of ideas of what to put on a quarter next, so if you have any suggestions (or challenges:)) please feel free to post them. Thanks for all the comments.

That is how I feel right now and how I look at this thread....

You've covered land, water, and sky pretty well... how about space? Maybe an astronaut working on Hubble held up by the Space Shuttle's robotic arm? Over, of course, a view of Earth from orbit...

Maybe try to do a scissorsand planes a330 in 1/1800? I have a picture of my 1/1200 a340-600

Maybe even try to do 1/1200, may fit

[baxter]

Here is my attempt at a space shuttle. I printed it out a little to big so I couldn't get it to fit on a quarter, but I thought I would post it here anyway. I think it is something like 1/2000 scale, but I don't know. The big one is 1/144 scale.

[Texman]

That is insane! Nice job at that small scale.

[Dabeer]

Wow! I can't even imagine attempting AXM's shuttle at that scale. I went with the Delta Columbia model and was happy to get it built at ~1/800! The shuttle inside the shuttle made my day! Nice job!

[papermate]

If you mount it vertically on the rocket, the whole unit (4th pic) still sits on the quarter.
Great build and very interesting.

Papermate

[Andrew zippy]

These are wonderful, a very original and attractive idea.

[lancer525]

How many quarters could fit on the head of a pin?

Superb builds... Very impressive!

[Timgo]

Not to thread jack, but you inspired me.

I read this thread this morning and had a lightning bolt of an idea.

I had to make Elephants on a Dime.

Both are “Canon paper craft African Elephant,” printed at 10% and 8%.

Thanks for sharing, I look forward to you future works.

Very Impressive. I look forward to seeing your future works also.

[abbycat]

Impressive! Amazing detail for such a tiny scale!

[Phil]

Here is my attempt at a space shuttle.
Awesome!! I like the display of the tiny parts pages as well as the contrast between the original shuttle and the micro-shuttle. Well done.

[Joe711]

Good works! A wide variety of themes, meticulous finish.
Sincerely, Joe

[baxter]

It has been a while... but I am finally back with another quarter model. This one is a distroyed tiger covered in snow... and this one is in 1-500 scale, so not too small this time. ;)

[McTschegsn]

What the... OMG :eek::eek::eek:

Freaking Awesome!!!

[dennis]

Lilliputian slave labor, obviously

[daredevil22r]

Awestruck at the small size. I do like the dog fight idea and the Hubble one.
Great work

[rgmarine]

Great work!

[Dabeer]

I decided to make my return to paper modeling by building a quarter diorama of my own: the Paper-Replika.com 1:300 Saturn V built at 1:2500, based on the classic picture of the Apollo 11 launch.

Great Saturn V diorama! I especially appreciate the Oskar Blues can since I spent yesterday fishing on the Davidson river which flows past Brevard.

Curt

[paperengineer]

Very cool Saturn V, unbelievably tiny, too!

[elliott]

That's a well-done return-to-modeling model there. I may go blind looking at tiny builds but they sure are fascinating.

[papermate]

Wow, that's really something. Cool, very cool.

Papermate

[gotham]

How the......what....man!!!:confused:
These builds are.....there are no words.
I don't know how you do it (witchcraft, sorcery, a pact with the Devil), but keep doing it.

[Mike1158]

Wow, fantastic. How some of you guys create these mini marvels plays tricks with my mind but it is wonderful to see.

[ennder]

Too Cool!!!!

[combidc10]

some great mini stuff

[baxter]

Oh wow I havent been on this sight in a while, and just saw your saturn v, it looks really really good, I am going to have to try to get back into this soon...

[elliott]

Nice to see you again baxter; wondered where you'd been....

[baxter]

Yeah I had graduation and work and I just kind of forgot about building models this last summer...

[Dabeer]

Congratulations on graduation, and welcome back!

[baxter]

Hi guys... It has been a very very long time. Been busy with so many other things,and a lot of different hobbies, but I decided to build another one of these. This one is a fiddlers green P-40 and a Zero. Both are in 1-800. Hopefully there will be some more coming

[NStarkel]

Nice! that's pretty neat

[spaceagent-9]

Those afrafre really great!

[elliott]

Nicely done Baxter! I like your quarter dioramas, always hoping to see a new one.
