building a diorama/model?
Hey i'm back again to ask for some help.
I've decided it would be a good idea to build a model/diaroma of a peice of technology that was used in ww2. I'll be using only simple items such as wood, glue, paint etc. Hardwork isn't a problem. I don't want to go and buy a kit and put it together. I'm thinking maybe a type of landing boat could be easy to make.

Re: building a diorama/model?
A diorama is usually scenery - an area/town/landscape.
A model, on the other hand, is what you are talking about. I'd say a boat would be easiest given materials/shape/complexity.

Re: building a diorama/model?
I don't want to be a pain, but don't we have a modelling area in WWII Activities and Hobbies?

Re: building a diorama/model?
sorry about the bump, i went and had a look at a local hobby shop and i'm not after a kit. I'd really like to use wood and build it from the dirt. I just need to find something that's easy enough to build :/

Re: building a diorama/model?
How about a hut in a POW camp? Should be pretty simple.
