009matt Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I am sure that you are all familiar with the Helen McKie images of Waterloo station during the war and after, well I am going to try to emulate this in 3d!

Burkitt Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Are you intending to create a static diorama depicting the scenes in the posters, or are you planning a complete model of Waterloo? Either would be impressive, but the latter monumentally so! Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
009matt Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 I plan on constructing this in 4mm scale. I will do the forground, maybe up to the benches in 3d, with the rest behind as a 'backscene'. I plan on using the full height so that I can get one scene above the other, with a 'lightbox' approach to force the viewweer to only look at certain angles.
