Post by: bonniebeth on September 27, 2011, 01:39:45: Those are aquarium rocks, aren't they? Great pics! Love how the water reflects everything so well. Lovely pics.

What's the problem with it being a sub board? ??? For the record, my greatest contributions will fall under dioramas, and I don't see it being a problem.

Could you show us a pic from afar, showing how the whole setup for the diorama looks?

Post by: Skywalker on September 27, 2011, 08:39:00: Elric : thank you !

bonnie : thank you ! yes - those are aquarium rocks. over the summer i wasn´t here that often. after coming back i thought that the diorama section was kind of hidden. i think that the smaller or bigger dioramas are some of the most visual / exciting pics that you may look in net and these pics deserve a own section that is seen directly when you come to the forum. just my personal opinion. :wave:

Lindama : thanx a lot !

stadswache : thank you !

Playmoholics : :**:

PrimusPilus : thank you !

Wolf : Thanx sir !

i will make some pics where you can see the set up... ;)

i always wanted to do a dio with real water. when the first ship was swimming in the port - that was a great moment !!

Post by: BlackPearl2006 on September 27, 2011, 16:45:09: Beautiful!!!!!! I'm almost sad to see the "making of" pics, lol, because it looks so "real" I don't want to lose the magic! But seeing the making of pic just goes to show how much magic can be derived from something practical. Thank you so much for your diorama! I Love it!

I was curious, what made you decide to give the water a black bottom (vs. stereotypical playmobil blue water)? I've seen eerie ports/waterways like that where it was dark water with strange things inside that could not easily be discerned. Also reminds me of Italian waterways. Gives it a sort of different feel than other water scenes. Very interesting and captivating as well!

And I'm curious about the odd fishing pole.... is it broken? or it's really meant to bend at the middle?

I too like your blue piratess. I was lucky enough to get an old ship with that same clicky at the helm, complete with her girly pirate hat, hehehe. Love it!

Thanks again for your diorama!

BlackPearl : you are right - it´s better not to show everything - i think the first people who asked had a look and that´s fine.

It looks sooo beautiful.

story telling photograph's must bee hard because Jou can't make all the angels with the camera.

of do you have a you little camera.

how big is the complete setup?
Title: Re: Skywalkers`Port Saint Jack
Post by: Skywalker on September 28, 2011, 10:18:10: bonnie: i will send you the pic. okay ? :wave:

stadswache: thanx ! i use a canon 1000D with standard lense ( 18-55mm ) . i have a film camera but this is for real filming and this would be useless for stopmotion...

you are right with the storytelling but this would be to time consuming - i have the highest respect for people like vauban who are able to produce such quality stories

I love it to bits, it's really wonderful I just love to look at your dioramas. So very inspiring. I'm trying to set a small one up myself having seen what you've done, but it's nothing like as good.

I'm really looking forward to more pics. Thanks very much for sharing.
