porco rosso diorama

hello all,

since the diorama has several items made of paper/card i figured it fits in somewhat.

the plane is a fine molds 1/48 scale kit of the fictional savoia s.21 featured in the animated movie proco rosso. modifications and scratch built details include, opened hatches & engine cowling, additional lever and control cables in cockpit, float brace wires and engine crank handle.

scratchbuilt items for the diorama includes the ramp, deck chair, table, radio, telephone, umbrella, shovel, tool box, crate, hose, all small items on table and magazine.

painting and weathering done with vallejo acrylics and artists oils & pastels.
water made with woodland scenics 'realistic water and the beach is reptile substrate sand.

finally, very happy to have been awarded 1st place in the vignettes category in the recently concluded valley con by my peers.

here's some pictures:

Incredible diorama and a super homage to one of Miyazaki's best films.

Bravissimo!

Not familiar with the movie but I know good modeling when I see it. Congratulations on your vignette award. You certainly earned it.
