Diorama Skills


And you think the Mercury Redstone tower is too much work?
Looking for some inspiration? Check out this diorama video: CLICK HERE
The motorized tracks are pretty amazing.






This might give some insight on how a Red Max diorama could be made. (See, I did tie it back to rocketry.)

  1. The video was moving kind of fast, but that corrugation forming tool looked rather interesting. A lot of work the landscape builders, i.e., model railroaders, can do is pretty darn amazing.

    1. Hi Ed,
      I thought the same thing about the corrugation tool. I looked through the Micromark website but didn't find it.

      That's all that scene needs is a cow!

  3. Chris, that was a really amazing video. I think we would all like to see you do a few dioramas for your rockets! :-)

    1. Hi Lee,
      I've never one a diorama. That's a whole new skill set I don't have the time to learn or room to display!

  4. Indeed the display suggestion on the instructions for the Der Red Max was amusing with that rickety-looking tower, rope and scattered drumcans -- somewhat more interesting in appearance than the "launch table" used with the V-2.

    The display suggestion on the Interceptor instructions was also pretty neat.
