tonybony377 Posted November 20, 2017 Share #1 Posted November 20, 2017 Hi Folks, I am completing my first build and it has been a great experience. The model is Captain Morgan Mini Mamoli kit. The kit wood was pretty poor, as was the instructions. I found that much of the build required creativity, which was a pleasant surprise to me. I hope to complete the model over the next few weeks and then start work on a supporting diorama. I am curious if anyone here has experience with building dioramas to display their models. Please let me know if so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted November 20, 2017 Share #2 Posted November 20, 2017 We've had quite a few dioramas and even "mini's" with not much more than several inches around the ship. Do a search here using "diorama" without the quotes and you should get quite a few hits.
