Dioramas:
The ultimate modelling guide
lifelike miniatures of real aircraft,
ships and military vehicles…
but none more so than those
placed into a diorama/vignette.
What I admire most, regardless
of whether an aftermarket or
scratch-built background/base
is used, is the skill displayed
when natural and man-made
objects are reproduced in
scale form, and how they are
blended with the model and/
or figures. Of course, this
brings forth a quandary…
what exactly is a diorama?
There are many definitions,
and variations at competitions,
but for the purposes of this
bookazine, it covers one or more
subjects incorporated into the
surroundings and serving as
a focal point (of which there
may be several) for the viewer.
Figures aren’t always required,
but where they are present,
they add an extra dimension,
whether it’s an element of
tension, or perhaps humour.
Here,
Airfix Model World
contributors explain and
illustrate how they achieved
the various effects on their
dioramas. If there’s a common
theme running through these
pages, it’s that you don’t
have to splurge on the latest
accessories…sometimes it’s
just as easy to find materials in
the garden or on the driveway.
Inspiration for these projects
came from many sources, but
a key factor is planning, and
that aspect shines through in
every scenario. Even if you’re
not into dioramas, or the
vehicles depicted, there’s plenty
to otherwise tempt you, from
the finishing and weathering
techniques, to handy tips on
painting figures; hopefully
everything is here to get those
creative juices flowing!

Introduction
Toni Canfora offers
a perspective on the
joys and challenges of
building dioramas.
10
Buildings and
Road – Caution!
A pair of AFV Club’s Dodge
WC 51s are at the centre
of this late-war scene,
fulfilling a lifelong desire
by Johan Augustsson to
field two of the same
vehicle in a diorama.

Ice – Caught
Red Handed
Dave Oliver combines
wargaming-scale machines
and figures into a futuristic
winter scene, offering hints
and tips as to how snow and
ice can best be replicated.

Normandy
Recovery –
Wrong Side of
the Tracks
Dioramas are all about
telling a story; Kev Smith
shows how to recreate a
typical vehicle recovery
operation in northern
France, shortly after D-Day.

Roads and
Rubble –
Man Down!
It’s not just larger scales that
provide suitable settings,
as demonstrated here with
a 1/72 late-war Italian town
scene by Toni Canfora.

Road, Rail and
Water – Busted!
Building on a previous project
for
Airfix Model World,
Johan Augustsson places
Revell’s Henschel truck amid
a busy dock-loading scene,
where trouble is afoot.

Trees and
Height –

Kev Smith explains how height
can be an important factor
in a diorama, and add an
extra dimension to the scene,
especially when storage
space is at a premium.

Overgrown
Grass – The
Swallow’s Nest
Photos provide ample
inspiration for subjects, as
Toni Canfora found when
studying references on
JV 44, the source of this
abandoned Me 262.
74
Deserts –
Getting the
Hump
Depictions don’t always
require personnel on
vehicles; here Johan
Augustsson uses Bronco’s
Telemeter to provide a
suitable backdrop to an
Arab tribesman and his
recalcitrant camel.

Inspirations
– Liquid
Liberation
Dave Oliver gains inspiration
from Sheperd Paine’s
diorama guides and
incorporates the most
important lessons into
his stunning celebrating
Soviet soldiers panorama.
