It is, isn't it? I actually really saw the frames for my dioramas only as horizontal bases for my models. But these rockets lifting off are just as easily viewed from the side of a wall as from a flat horizontal surface. They look fun like this - and a nice extra advantage, the base now is a little less of a dust catcher.

Love your pictures of the Grunn Space Museum - open to the public yet?

Actually, I still am trying to find time to talk to the university here in town whether they would like to show a couple of my models at their astronomy faculty. For the time being it is a cosy bunch of rockets tightly clung together. Soon they will be joined by a new one, I started on a 1/96th Soyuz FG (Leo Cherkashyn's design @50%).

I think this method is extremely effective with the stage-separating dioramas.

Exactly. I also have lots of other things on frames on the shelves but they need to be horizontal. Those staging displays however, look wonderful on the wall. I just need to give them a better spot, I think.

I finally get now, you build according to shelf space. Depending on the size of the empty space that dictates the scale of the next model, yea?
I had to download your pic to a file so I could enlarge it to get an up close look at the at all the work. Some really great builds there. I especially like the chopper trying to lift Grissoms Merc capsule.

Well, it is about true. It already started to pile up here and there. The removal from shelve to wall has created a little space again.
It is a bit like how turtles in captivity grow: when they have a lot of space they get much bigger than their relatives in smaller tanks. Luckily rockets stand vertically and occupy less space than my regular 1/400 dioramas. By the way, the Sea Horse and Merc diorama is here in the forum to see closer up, you knew that, did ya? |
