1/144 Diorama Resources, Tips & Tricks


NZEOD

Recommended Posts

Ok seeing as a few are thinking along the same lines and myself with doing dioramas using the new Tomytec GiMIX series this thread will be a dump bin for any info etc we all come across to assist us all.

This will includes City layouts, Carrier Deck scenes, Runway and Airfield stuff and what ever else we all find.

Also included will be the Japanese characters I use to search for items on Yahoo Auctions JP and other sites.

I'll start

The Tomytec VF-1 Battroid stands 90mm tall in 1/144 scale.

The ARII 1/144 Nousjarduel and Queadlunn are both about 115mm tall so on its own it looks fine up against VFs BUT with other Zentreadi forces its on the small side.

The ARII 1/100 Regults (standard, Scout and Missile Pods) are about 150mm tall to the top of the Pod, not the radar or missiles.

The AR11 1/100 Glaug, I have still to assemble. I'll update when I do.

N-Scale is the Train scale that fits with all this.

Modern Era Building and Scenery Makers include:

Tomix/Tomytec

Faller

Kato USA

various Chinese building makers

Vehicle makers include:

Aoshima

We can all do this too! Minus the trains at least... or maybe a derailed train being stepped on by a Glaug...
