UBB.threads Forums General Interest Collector's Showcase Rastenburg, 20 July 1944 diorama

This is something of a work in progress (haven't made the main wall w/the three windows which were blown out), but thought I'd post and get other's oponions, if any. I found three different diagrams of the supposted room, all different in detail. I've more or less gone with the photo (1st in B&W) from the Gestopo report.

Similar view from the model.

These photos have lost a lot of detail in resizing.

This was my first attempt at furniture making, I plan on redoing the map table supports since finding photo of what they looked like.

Seems I can't even take good pic.s with digital camera.

Last one, sorry these photos aren't better. They looked really good until I resized them. Guess I'm gonna have a really long learning process.

Nice.What scale are you working?Also I always resize to 1024x768, it's big, but stays into the screen border.Give it a try.

Hi Phatt, they're 1/6 scale. I had resized the pic.s by percentage, which is probably what degraded the images. Tried the pixel method which resulted in a much bigger pic. but not much more clarity. Thanks, guess I should've asked questions prior to posting.

Congrats on some very nice work. Before seeing the movie Vakyrie I didn`t knew too much about the July 20, 1944 atempt. Von Stauffenberg came very close to succeed.

Nice looking diorama.

About the pics, if you resize them to 25% of original size it should work fine.

Mike, excellent job. I love art in that form as well. You guys that do that sort of stuff have more patience than I. I'll bet the satisfaction when you're finished is all worth it. I've seen some really neat dioramas, on here as well as WA. Maybe someday in the future I'll try that venue.

Steve.
