Wow! This is a wonderful diorama! It is inspirational. Where did you get the quartermaster and the gunner figures?
Thank you for sharing this with us.

That is a very nice dio. Your Neslon looks pretty darn close to the old guy.

Now thats what I call modeling. Very good dio. I must have looked through all your pics 3 or 4 times just to get a feeling for all the detail.

I would like to thank the people who have praised my HMS Diana quarterdeck diorama. The figures (scale 1/35) I ordered from Meteror Productions (they recently went out of business). I ordered extra figures (they were all the same) and cut and used epoxy putty to make the figures look different. I also ordered their quarterdeck diorama made out of resin. I only used the diorama for measurements and made my diorama out of wood and greatly enlarged it. I also used extensively the Anatomy of a Ship series book on the HMS Diana to get the size of things. The carronades and cannons were turned from brass. The red in the model is bloodwood, the black is ebony, and the yellow is boxwood. I wrote an article on the construction of this model for the Model Ship World forum. A link to this article can be found on my Diana quarterdeck page on my website (www.guzmanshipmodels.com).
