Why not try it yourself, then? (-; I would really like to see more people do diorama style realspace models.

Ahhhh!!!! I was afraid you'd say that... I need to polish my skills in the man-made arena before even think of attempting to recreate something produced by the hands of God.

Just give it a go. Try a couple of small dioramas first. If you don't start with it and keep on postponing it, you will never develop the skills. And it isn't that hard, really. It's all there in the imagination you have. Seeing a rocket standing still is making it a dead object. But put it in a slight angle on a rod above a base plate with, say, a photo of the Cape from 50 kilometres up and suddenly the model starts to come to life.
After that the step to make a more challenging diorama isn't that far away. I got the idea for my Sojourner diorama when I got one of those ceiling tiles and discovered the outer layer was some kind of gypsum in which I could carve. I used kitty litter for stones. It really is easy. I'd really love to see more people err... dioramatize their models. There are enough static models around and it you put them on a board or flat surface to stand up anyway, why not make it more fun? yay! 900 posts! |

This... I couldn't possibly agree more. I'm not in PK's league, but my little diorama projects really make the models come to life. Just dive in. If you can build the rocket, you can handle the rest. Mike |

Hi all, first I'd like to say I think we're all in the same league, all with our own skills and ideas. We're all Paper Modelers. I think everyone's skills are good, because even if they are just beginners, they do make stuff. And enjoying it. And they may bring along some really fresh ideas in doing so.
Now here's a tiny update on the helo (Swabo's call their helicopters thus, the army fly boys calls them choppers, I read that somewhere). I realised that when there would be some bloke hanging out of the door to look how Liberty Bell was doing, you would be able to take a peek inside. So I had to do something about it. I made some chairs. They're far from perfect, I for one wouldn't want to try and sit on them i think but in the relative darkness of the Sea Horse's interior it doesn't seem to matter. next is the closing up of the belly of the beast. It is a very narrow fit but it fits. I also used the interior parts (printed on thin paper) and used it to glue some transparent sheet in between for the windows. |
