this was my first job in which I dared to combine my hobby to dioramas with a maritime theme.
upon the work of the toys in a boat that I was making improvements with wood model ship

I am sure that there are a thousand mistakes in the rigging of the boat and in the same boat, but as I say have no maritime know-how























all is 1/35 scale

Love it Domi!

Quite an action packed scenario, mate, and I really like your ingenuity on the boat re-forming/re-construction...overall, a very imaginative, well built diorama, great modeling!!

Domi, I must ask, do you still have the dio? If so, I would love to make an "On Display" feature of the piece, if you could snap us about a dozen more images from different views and angles, and send them to me Here!....

Also, if you have any other subjects that you would like to share with us, please do the same, my friend!

Cheers,
~Gunny

Go a surprise
not imagined that you could taste
Well, I was at home we'll make pictures and send
by the way, rectify the seam of the sails, so we do not see this strange sewing.

later you upload images from my second and last (for now) naval diorama

Tell us about the figures. Did you convert them or are they commercially available?

Hellou


The figures are a small transformation of the British Tamiya accompanying the piece of artillery 7pound

WOW!!
Every once in a while, you see something that makes you marvel at the ingenuity and talent this hobby brings out. What a great piece of work. Not only the modeling of the boat (which is impressive on its own), but the water, the water effects, the modification of the figures, the creativity in the scene....I could go on and on, but wow...

It's work like this that inspires me to get to my workbench, and start working. Thanks for sharing Domi, and please,keep posting pics of your work. It's truly great stuff.

Cheers,
Mike

Hola Domi

Everyone has already said wonder of the Shark Diorama, and of course, I have to agree!
Unique, very original (it could be a scene from a movie with the Duke!!) and very well accomplished.

This shows that you can make very interesting scenes, starting with a toy boat and a cheap picture frame!

More photos for a feature, please Domi!!

Saludos - una vez mas!

I would definitely have to rate this diorama very high. It appears the modelling is superb and the idea or theme is outstanding. Where did you get the sharks. Were they toys as well?

Because sharks are some models I had pretty well finished in a water park
Sometimes you find what you are looking where you least expect right?
