Today's question is: How could I make/get a good diorama?
Bu günün sorusu: Iyi bir diorama nasıl yapabilir / edinebilirim?


You should first decide on the subject; where would you like your favourite car passes through, parks or spins maybe? Where would you like to drive if it was real?
Oncelikle konuya karar vermelisiniz; en sevdiginiz arabanız nereden gecsin, nereye park etsin veya belki spin atsin isterdiniz? Eger o gerçek olsaydı onu nerede surmeyi hayal ederdiniz?


Therefore, the answer is quite related with the car; which car and why do you collect it? 
Yani cevap o arabayla ilgilidir; hangi araba ve onu niye koleksiyonunuza kattıgınızla


We generally get the cars because;
Genellikle şu sebeplerle araba alırız;
- to remember a special period of life or an advanture in the past,
- geçmiş hayatınızıdan bir dilimi veya bir macerayı hatırlamak için

- to carry today's pleasure to the future, just as car dealers' selling 1/43 of the same cars in the gallery
- bugünkü mutlulugu gelecege tasimak icin, tipki araba bayilerinin ayni arabalarin 1/43 modelini de satmasi gibi

Ford Focus 

In the picture; 1999 Ford Focus 1/43 3 door and 5 door, Minichamps dealer edition, on my diorama called Grand Inebolu Rally which was under construction at that time.


- or just because you like the car, are wise and know that you cannot afford buying and maintenance, do not know how to care the real one. Maybe it is too luxurious, too much powered, or too old and classical so that all of them expired with a lot of wear and tear, missing or fake parts. However, the diecast stays over there in full excellence. Also, you do not have to leave it on the street, you take it home :)
- ya da sadece o arabayi sevdiginiz icin, akilli biri oldugunuzdan ve gercegini almaya ve bakimina bütceniz yetmeyeceginden, bakimini nasil yapacaginizi bilmediginizden. Belki de cok luks, cok buyuk motorlu veya cok eski ve klasik, oyle ki temiz bir tane bulamayacagınız, kayip ya da sahte parcalarla degismis, yipranmis vesaire. Halbuki diecast tum mukemmelligiyle oylece durmaktadır. Ayrıca onu sokakta bırakmak zorunda da degilsiniz, sizinle evinize geliyor :)

Ferrari 288 GTO

Lütfen kendi diğer sebeplerinizi ekleyip paylaşmaktan çekinmeyin ve birincil motivasyonunuzu kesfedin.


Most of us, diecast car fans,.always desire a repair service or a dealer shop, where are most related with the car. Actually we have made many fantastic examples though I did not make one personally but still have a GMP Porkchop's as seen below. 
Diecast araba tutkunlari olarak cogumuz, tamirhane veya galerilere ozeniriz ki bunlar arabayla en alakali yerlerdir.  Gercekten bugune kadar pek çok fantastik ornekler verdik, her ne kadar ben sahsen yapmasam da ben de bir adet GMP Pork Shop aldım. Asagida gorebilirsiniz.

Do you think you dream going to the repair service with an M3? I admire train fans as they are more creative in this respect. They runs the trains through more dreamful places. I think cars deserve it, too.
Sizce bir M3le tamirhaneye gitme hayali mi kurardınız? Tren tutkunlarini bu yonden daha yaratici olduklari icin takdir ediyorum. Onlar trenleri daha tatli ruyalara suruyorlar. Bence arabalar da bunu hakediyor.


I am, for instance, fond of country life and Rally. I have 1/43 Ford Escort Cosworth, Lancia Delta Integrale, Subaru Impreza, Fiat 131 Mirafiori Abarth and Renault Maximegane. Inspired with them I made Grand Inebolu Rally two weeks ago. I also took photo of the process as you may find interesting.
Ornegin ben kırsal ve ralli duskunu olarak 1/43 olcekte yukarida adi gecen arabalara sahibim. Onlardan ilham alarak iki hafta once Grand Inebolu Rallisi'ni yaptim. Ayrica ilginizi cekebilecegini dusunerek yapım surecini de fotografladim. 


The platform was 70*50cms (~28*20 inches) to contain and express whole story, many good ancles to shot. Polyuretane buble was used to make a rough landscape. It chaotically inflated while it was drying. Then, it was shaved off to get more realistic hills and to make the roads. After that the holes were covered with some pastes. First the roads, then the hills painted with Tamiya grit effect and soil effect paints. Stone and brick walls were made of special architectural maket materials. Finally Tamiya grass effect was painted as well as bushes and trees were mounted. Have a good time with the photos !
Konuyu butunlukle ele alabilmek, tam aktarabilmek ve bir cok guzel fotgraf acisi yakalayabilmek icin 70*50 cm bir platform kullandim. Poliuretan kopukle kaba bir yeryuzu elde ettim. Kopuk, kurudukca kaotik bir sekilde sisti. Daha gercekci olacak sekilde trasladim ve yollari actim. Traslamadan dogan delikleri ozel pastalarla kapadim. Once yollari, sonra tepeleri Tamiya ozel efekt boyalari ile boyadim. Tas ve tugla duvarlari ozel mimari maket malzemeleri ile yaptim. Son olarak cim efekti, calilar ve ve agaclari diktim. Iyi seyirler dilerim.
