Swamp Diorama

Hello Tim

It's H0 Scale, I've never said Z Scale.

God damn that is nice!

My fault I view forum posts in an rss reader sometimes and it lacks the original context sometimes. I was going off the content in your signature.

It's great work. Both photography and the modeling. Will there be any how-tos connected to this?

The sun is still missing but today I've tried to connect both Dioramas together for some pictures.

I like these overcast shots even better than the sunny ones, especially this telephoto-style one.

The rutted roadway in this scene looks incredible.  Any how-to tips on how that was achieved?  I'm also curious about the vehicles in the earlier shots:  are those models or are they photo-shopped? They just look too real to be models - e.g. the windows and steering wheel in the paneled wagon.

Very nice work - thanks for posting it.

Hello Gary

I never use Photoshop on my pictures. The Jeep you mentioned is a NEO Scale Model for around 35$

Here is another picture from the Jeep and the Ford:








and another Bridge Shot:

Thanks Jürg.  Amazing vehicles (especially the windows)!  Amazing modules!

Unreal,... umm, maybe too real.  Hyper-realism?

Anyway, it very difficult to tell that this isn't 1:1.  Well done.

Thanks Jürg.  Amazing vehicles (especially the windows)!  Amazing modules!

Gary, I think the secret is that NEO Models use photo etched parts on the models.
