Hey everyone, I'm new here and I've been checking around a little bit and noticed that most of you stay in a WWII theme for your dioramas. I started working on a huge 1/72 scale Omaha Beach one about 2 years ago and stopped about 10% of the way through (ran out of spare time I guess lol).

Anyway, after searching around a bit I haven't been able to find any Ancient themed dios, Roman to be exact. Anyone have any pics of an Ancient Rome-themed diorama? Thanks a lot.

Hey,I've seen a diorama about Rome on Joseph Neumeyer's Dynamic Dioramas.

Most of the dios here would most likely be from WW1 onwards. Anything apart from that would be a rare treat.

Wow, those are some of the most amazing dioramas I've ever seen. But because of the larger scale of the figures, the dioramas themselves cover a smaller "area". What I'm working on is an entire Roman city in Gaul, in 1/72 scale. Aqueducts, a resevoir, villas and domuses (houses), temple, civic building, amphitheatre and gladiator quarters, a fort w/ barracks, docks, a trireme, etc lol. So even though it is 1/72, it'll still be a huge diorama. I even want to have some road-building, and a quarry. This should be fun.

Oh yeah, thanks to those who replied. Since this is mostly a 20th century and higher forum, does anyone know of one that would be able to help me a bit more? I still love these, I've learned a lot about the terrain building (water, trees, etc) from searching around these boards.

John have you got any pictures of your roman city please?

It's still in the beginning construction phase. I have a design all mapped out, and some buildings in the process of being made. I haven't put anything down permanently yet, but I'll get some pictures of what I've got completed so far when I get a chance.

(I'm waiting on a compant called Nikolai to start selling a bunch of roman civilians and accessories in 1/72 scale that they are currently working on.)
