DIORAMAS ON DISPLAY - 2023 - Scale Model Exhibitions - Scale Model Diorama - Scale Bench

This is my 2023 "Dioramas-on-display" compilation.
This year I had the opportunity to go to Hungary for the first time
to attend the Moson Model Show. I was completely enchanted by the number of incredibly high-quality and unique models and dioramas... absolutely the best model building exhibition I have ever visited ... an the Figures on display ... have never seen anything like this.
Like the last few years, I didn't miss the Modellbauausstellung Fliegerhorst Museum - Leipheim.
In addition to excellent models Dioramas and exhibitors, the unique family atmosphere in the middle of the museum is a highlight of this small one-day exhibition.
For the first time I took the long journey to the Modellbauausstellung PMC Main-Kinzig near Frankfurt. The exhibition was definitely worth the trip... great models and dioramas, friendly exhibitors and, as a highlight, a meeting with my friend Joachim, known under his channel Jorama Modellbau on YT.
And because one exhibition wasn't enough... LOL... I visited the Bayerische Modellbautage PMC Erding - Ergolding on Sunday. The exhibition is primarily dedicated to aircraft models, but in addition to military vehicles and dioramas, there were also great figures, fantasy and ship models on display.
As in previous years, the crowning conclusion was the International Modellbaumesse Ried. I love this exhibition and have enjoyed every visit so far, accompanied by my friend Carsten.
We also met Michael, known through his channel Hamilkar Barkas on YT in Ried.
The exhibition in Ried includes a large selection of different genres and high quality works and is always full of exciting and fascinating surprises.
I took the pictures at the exhibitions described. Many thanks to all the great and dedicated model builders for the opportunity to see their stunning work first hand.

I have seen quite a few of these videos now (always appreciated, thank you KZbin algorithm), and again, I'm appalled that even if the models look fine or even great, the composition of the dioramas are unfortunately way too often lacking, like 2:54: you have a tank and a base. And then two figures, one in an action pose and one standing pretty much at ease. That is just plain bad - chose one direction (calm or action) and stick with it. But even in action, you have to think about what has happened and get a direction: 4:09 is a great example of that, with the crews from two tanks evacuating. Here the tanks are more of a problem - had the Russian tank's gun pointed more towards the German tank, we could have gotten a better picture of what happened (two tanks facing off point blank and knocking each other out). That means that the tanks would have benefitted from fresh damage, and no, the ripped off and opened engine covers do not count - that only happens when a tank cooks off, and that has not happened here on either. Come on, you want to model and display tank engines, do so in a more controlled diorama, like a workshop. Also, way too often, a model is just a vignette and not quite a diorama, like the futuristic truck at 0:31. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, and some models actually benefit from not being part of an ongoing scene, like that truck. The same goes for say 0:42 where there are no figures, which is a shame - the base and model look good, what's wrong with adding a person? Heck, just someone picking mushrooms there would suffice. What I'm saying is that humans are needed for scale. That is emphasized by 0:44 with just that one figure, which makes that - a much simpler vignette - a lot better. On the other hand, when done right (like 0:19 with the kids playing on the wreck), a diorama can be quite fantastic, but making it so does take a little planning and creativity, more so than come in a model kit box.

Hi mate ... many thanks for your opinion and your thoughts on the Diorama topic. I think if you imagine how many aspects have to be taken into account in a diorama and how much can go wrong, you almost have an answer to your questions. In my opinion, the hobby of model building dioramas is primarily about having fun inventing scenes and creating scenarios. In German there is the saying "every type is different" which means... everyone has different requirements, priorities that they value and of course skills. Many of the dioramas shown can also serve as inspiration or a challenge for one of your own... so... get inspired and build your own dioramas the way you like them best... and above all... have fun with it 😊👍 happy modelling my friend, a big hug, cheers Markus

Дорогие модели для школьников сатали

[@SCALEBENCHplasticmodels]

Привет друг, да, это правда... цены на модели действительно очень высокие... поэтому в молодости я в основном покупал комплекты моделей у Italeri... тогда они были доступны по цене... Привет, Маркус
