tonybony377 Posted November 20, 2017 #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.
mtaylor Posted November 20, 2017 #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.
