iModeler Diorama

Representing reality in miniature.

Down At The Station, Early In The Morning....

What would prompt a person to build a model of his home town railway station? Perhaps the nostalgia of train trips to Boston to attend a Red Sox base ball game as a child. Or maybe reliving the days when a lot of folk took a train rather [...]

Somewhere in the desert.

Kits included in this diorama are tamiya 1/35 marine apc along with a verlinden middle easter house she'll. Groundworks are really sand supplied courtesy of the pottery industry, vermiculite used to simulate rubble and deer hair for the [...]

All Washed-Up

This Pacific-themed diorama includes both kit- and scratch-built items. The aircraft is Tamiya's 1/32 Zero. It's made two appearances here in previous incarnations; from its present state, this is likely the last. The Marine figures are [...]

Dozer in Decline-An Experiment in Weathering

I scratch built this crawler tractor a few years ago for display on my outdoor train layout. For some reason I wasn't pleased with it's "look" and it sat on a shelf with all my jars of nails and screws. As time went on the model [...]

Figure this, the crew is ready....

“Pachydermia” – somewhere in burma 1942 – Supermarine Walrus aka “Shagbat” finished with diorama

This is the last part of my Matchbox Walrus MK I. build. The diorama - where an elephant tows a walrus 😀 - finished so the name "Pachydermia" :). I made a lot effort into this kit but the ugliness and the same time somehow [...]

Tiger in the (Deeper) Woods

About eighten months ago, I posted an article here, with photographs of an armour diorama, depicting a Konigstiger making its way through scrubby Ardennes forest in December, 1944. Also modelled - a few troops, including a hapless [...]

“zu Fuß” a Hs129 retreating in the desert in 1942 – on foot :)
