Title: diorama with a difference
Post by: scotsoft on March 26, 2015, 06:36:26 PM

I saw this for sale on US eBay site and thought it was a great idea for a functional diorama.
Before anyone says anything, I did know this was in the wrong scale for here :D

Nice idea but, by heck, they'd need some weight in them or they wouldn't last very long :hmmm: :worried:

There's enough base area there to fill with lead or sand. You could even build them on slabs of slate or something.

Wrong scale -who cares? What a great idea! To post this to Australia is about $1 less than the sale price of $69.
