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.

 

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.

 

yeah i was thinking a simple landing craft. I'm not going to try to build a mark 2 spitifire althought something a bit challangin' would be fun.

hmm this might be a bit too hard to build

You might like to look into paper models too.

I need to find something that australians were invovled with. Hmm I guess once I find a ship i'll need to find out all the measurements if i'm doing scale?

 

Could ya build Kubelwagon?

 

using what

 

I don't want to be a pain, but don't we have a modelling area in WWII Activities and Hobbies?

 

yes, i wasn't sure which was more correct as i wasn't sure what model i was doing :/

 

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 :/

 

How about a hut in a POW camp? Should be pretty simple.

 

thanks for the suggestion mate, but i don't think it's a legit technology that influened the war.. but it would be super easy to make
