This is the only site that I know of that caters to the 1/16th scale or larger guys.I know that my stuff is not strictly armor but it is military.Would you guys really mind if I posted some of my stuff here ?
Believe me it is extremely hard to find a good home forum for the kind of stuff that I do.

Here is a vignette taken from one of my dioramas. It is a view of an engine shop with a
WW 1 Mercedes engine being worked on.

Unfortunately David LED's were not readily available at the time so I used doll house lighting.I like the warm glow of the lights but for museum purposes it is not at all practical to remove the glass case top to change a bulb.I am thinking about re-lighting it in the future.

I want to try something different with this diorama by adding some audio/visual stuff myself.This time the storyline will be presented in a little different way.Instead of step by step pictures accompanied by an audio text as planned by the museum ,this time I plan to do my own .
Just a few short years ago this option was not available to me but with all the miniaturization of electronics today and the relatively cheap price I think that it could quite easily be done.
These two saloon boxes will be used to house the electronics and diorama lighting equipment.Facing outwards I plan to install either slides or scenes from the movie itself with good quality miniature speakers,if I can get permission to do so from the copyright holders otherwise I will have to come up with a plan 'B'.It will be a donation to a museum for educational purposes or for my own private use so maybe I will get lucky.
Plan 'B' will probably be to contact a few individuals that I see on You Tube and get their permission to use their videos and music.
Sounds like fun,something different for a change.

Nice to see this wonderful work on this site. I have been following the big dio over on LSP for a while now and it's nice to see it almost finished. Gorgeous details.
