fittedkitchens Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Haha, cool. That certainly does. I had to do a check of the Academy web site to see if it was a spoof! It's actually a pretty good idea, sort of brings to mind the famous diorama by Yamada Takuji. Hopefully be a few reviews on the interwebz soon, see how it builds up etc. Could be my pipe-dream model shop (and certainly a darn sight easier to run...)

TallBlondJohn Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 That shop better stock the kit. Isn't there a model village that contains a model village? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jb65rams Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 @TallBlondJohn Its the model village in Bourton on the Water. It is a model of the actual village and includes a model of the model village. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Interesting . A long time ago I saw a model of a model competition at one of the early IPMS Nationals at Hendon RAF Museum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sneaky somethings have found a way out of the infinite regression problem. The only models you get are the ones on the shelf in the window - the rest is stickers that go behind them. So if matey is standing in front of his small pile of scale model model shops, they aren't actually there ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I remember a diorama at Cosford show years ago with some 1/12 figures of large scale (flying) aircraft modellers about to launch a 1/48 aircraft model. It’s too long ago for me to remember the details properly but it was very popular at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xebec Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 My favorite part would be rigging the clipper Coriolanus in 1:2400 scale- awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
