With the infusion of 1/48th scale and an new interest in 1/72 scale kits there is a huge opportunity to mix subjects, aircraft are mainly 1/48 and 1/72 and there are some beach based landing craft in 1/72.
With this new interest in the market and new subjects are you considering doing dioramas of mixed subjects?

You can do hanger scenes, landing strip scenes, beach landing scenes, crash scenes, lots of options.

At the moment i,m currently doing a dock side dio in 1/72 with an arfix e-boot academy shwimwagen and kubelwagen and revell figures also some accesories from my local model railway shop. Have already completed one similar using Revells schnell boot.

Very cool, I like that. Did you scratch build the crane?

I think there are a lot of possibilities here indeed.

This is a diorama (builder unknown to me) which is a good example of how to mix 1/35 armour with 1/32 aircraft...



There is another one I've seen several times now, with a hangar with 2 aircraft and some fallschirmjager....it's a great diorama, can't find pics though. Will look again once I'm back home

In 1/72 and 1/48 there are a lot of options here!

I am in the planning stages of modelling a dock-yard scene (Singapore 1942). It involves a 1/35 scratch-built (mostly) vehicle, figures and a 1/48 Japanese 'Zero' fighter flying overhead.

I think that with careful positioning and perspective, the scales can be mixed!

The crane on the dockside is from the model railway store as is the dockside brick work OO gauge and HO go quite well with 1/72 scale i can spend hours in that shop planning the next build while the wife looks in her hundreds of shops.
