Hy all

This diorama was started a few weeks ago its 40% done, i wanted to do, a pacific diorama in 1 35 but not one with a beach a bunker and a palmtree, no something completely different, i wanted to make the HQ on Peleliu, there not much images of this building around and if there are they are small and i real bad quality.



So most of my inspiration comes from images from the tv show The Pacific.

Hope you like it.








Kits i will be using, are the Tamiya, Finemolds Typ 95 kit
and the Dragon Peleliu Marines kit

Building looks great, looking forward to seeing more

Wowww that's gonna be something allright!!!
Building looks great, can't wait to see it finished...

Will be watching. It's a pretty cool building/scene from the PTO.

What medium did you use? Looks amazing!

sorry but what do you mean with medium?

What is it fade of? Medium: material or technical means of artistic expression.

Plaster and putty

Richard: Awesome start. I really look forward to seeing more of this diorama.

Happy Modeling, -Zon

Here are some more pics of my work i done today.
i'm not completely satisfied with the collapsed canopy, what do you think?

I like it. Great job at scratch building! As far as the canopy goes, you could remove some of the plaster/putty.

Casting plaster is the perfect method for such a building. Looks great. The rebar looks very convincing.

Richard: Nice work overall. As for the canopy, to me the problem is the straight line between the broken part and the still ok part. The breaking should go into the still good area and look more like the upper canopy.

Happy Modeling, -zon

For myself, I think the bottom is more credible than the top - that large piece, in that position, looks heavy enough that the steel reinforcement might not be enough to keep it from breaking off, especially with that long bare rod next to it. I liked it better in the earlier version, with the two rods. As all have said, a great start.

Congratulations on taking on something out of the ordinary....and for the superb job on the HQ ruin so far!!

Keep up the good work!!!!!!

Cheers

Richard,

Fantastic job! looks very real. only thought i have would be to put some clumps of concrete on your hanging rebar steel the wouldn't be that clean
the concrete would stick to it.

Thank you guys for the comments i wiil try to make the bottom more into little pieces and the above part will get some more like the bottom canopy.

Amazing work, instantly reminded me of that epic battle for the Peleiu airfield in the Pacific TV Series.

Fantastic attention to detail

Here some more pictures of work i have done today.

Looks cool, Richard. Very realistic and definitely something out of the ordinary compared to normal Pacific dioramas.

great work. very realistic concrete.

Did you make your wire 'rebar' frame and then pour plaster over it so that it is actually embedded? Or did you just stick bits of wire into holes drilled into pieces of plaster? Either way, excellent job.
