Just Got Here.

[oldbreedmarine]

Hey everyone, I'm new here on this sight and I just wanted to introduce myself. For years military dioramas have been a great hobby of mine. However I'm not very good at it but I hope that by admiring the work you guys do will help me get better. I'm looking forward to making a great diorama and posting it on here. Any advice where I should start?
Thanks.

Just dont stop! My stuff was pretty crappy, but I learned. I'm always learning, my work just looks better now.


I might make a tutorial on building a diorama. I'll try to get on that sometime!

Welcome though! Enjoy your stay, don't feed the animals!

[oldbreedmarine]

I do not do dioramas but I make things that go in them.

Welcome aboard. I'm not a skilled modeller or diorama maker like the used specialists below, but found with them a lot of ideas (that could definitively flatten my purse). If you can't wait for flybox_fx's tutorial and also saw all pics here, have a look at http://store.foxholetoys.com/index.html. Matt from Foxholetoys is also a member of this site. You'll find in the collector's gallery some other examples of dioramas. Show us how you do it.

Thank you guys so much, by the way you all are so nice! Hopefully I can create things at least half as good as yalls'

Here's a dio I plan to do a video on. I'll explain how I got it this far and how to do grass in detail. It has been sitting around for a WHILE! Soon I can maybe finish it! It is about 4'x4'

Hello,

I have been having a blast with this site I have also learned a ton. I am an airplane guy, a life member and active particpant/volunteer in a first class Warbird Museum and still a rookie in armor and ground forces. I have not only learned a lot but have gained greater respect for the ground forces and their incredible sacrifices in preserving our freedom then and now. I have become a student of WWII Armor and am probably about in the third grade. If I ever learn a fraction of what some of these guy know, I'll be delighted. These guys have been great and I feel very comfortable here. Did I mention that I get a kick out of the smiley faces

Welcome & enjoy

[oldbreedmarine]

Oldbreedmarine,
Have you been a Marine in the past (and forever)? As you can see, a lot of people of this board have choosen a mil smelling nickname... I'm personnaly a past 1st lieutenant (medic...) in a swiss airforce infantry batalion. I hope to have the opportunity to make a diorama with my 1:18 F/A-18 and a few soldiers with a real aircraft shelter in the background. It seems easier and less time spending than making a real 1:18 shelter that would be really huge...

[oldbreedmarine]

No it's just my username but I do have the upmost respect for those who serve including you sir.
