How many of you are building or considering building 1/48 scale dioramas? There''s an interesting poll being held in the Diorama forum, to assess interest in this "cross-over" scale.

Hi Rowan!

I already voted and said I would definitely do 1/48 dioramas!

I'm currently playing with stones and sand for my "Amphibs" Campaign Schwimmwagen and I must admit it is fun!

I will certainly du some aircraft dioramas in the future as well...

Hi Jean-Luc

I've actually just bought Tamiya's new US infantry and the British Universal Carrier - with a couple of potential dioramas specifically in mind; Allied troops examining abandonned and derelict Luftwaffe aircraft. It's something I've always wanted to try to model.

I really want to see more aircraft-related 1/48 vehicles from the mainstream manufacturers - I'm sure they'll appear if we prove there's a market for them...

All the best

Considering my two inprogress 1/48 scale WWI aircraft dioramas I would go with YES.
