SkyKing Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Possibly a new IPMS category: "Die-oramas." http://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/hold-these-tiny-crime-scenes-in-the-palm-of-your-hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roktman Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 That's certainly... Different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Very odd..... While we "war mongers" are blamed for glorifying violence with our model building, I've never seen anything like those, where out and out murder is emphasized, in our hobby. The builder comes across (intentionally or not) as a disturbed individual. GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gromit801 Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 Bad idea. Poorly done dioramas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmorrissette Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 Dioramas are not well done but the subjects don't bother me. There's kits of Jack the Ripper and stuff sooo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipmsusa2 Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Dave, I agree that the subjects don't bother me. Frankly, I'd be surprised if she didn't build these types of dioramas since both she and her husband work in various areas of law enforcement. Science Fiction and Fantasy kits & figures...especially fantasy...make her dieoramas look tame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Given that information about them being in Law Enforcement, this might be considered a type of therapy for them to do these. The execution could certainly be a bit better, but then the pics were pretty poor quality keeping me from seeing too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
