1/43 is good because, the cars are cute and you have enough space to establish a complete and detailed story.

1/43 iyi cunku arabalar cok sevimli ve butun ve detayli bir hikaye icin yeterli yeriniz var.

1/18 is good,too, the cars are very nice and heavily detailed and should be emphasized. However, the diorama should be simple, otherwise;

1/18 de iyi, bu defa arabalar cok guzel ve ciddi olcude detaylandirilmislar ve vurgu onlarin uzerinde olmali. Bununla beraber dioramanin basit olmasi gerekir, aksi takdirde;

- it would be gigantic and probably too large to keep and exhibit for long.

- devasa bir şey olabilir ve saklayip sergilemeniz cok zor olabilir.

- the space for car would be so narrow as one of my early trials, Kastamonu Evi, though it was 1/24;

- arabalara kalan bolum cok daralabilir, mesela benim ilk denemelerimden biri olan Kastamonu Evi'ndeki gibi, ustelik 1/24 oldugu halde;

tarihi Kastamonu evi, traditional Kastamonu House, Ilgaz Mountain, Ilgaz Dagı, Fiat 131 Abarth 1/24 

- or the space for the other details could be insufficient and make them look smaller than they should have been. I face this partly in my diorama called Ilgaz, just because of the background picture shows Ilgaz Mount, actually it represents Belgrad Ormanlari, forests near Black Sea in Istanbul. It is my first 1/18 diorama but I still like it very much.

- ya da diger detaylara yetersiz yer kalip olması gerkenden kucuk kalabilirler. Ben ilk 1/18 dioramam olan Ilgaz Dagı'nda bu durumla kısmen karsilastim. Adinin Ilgaz olma sebebi arka plandaki resmin orasi olmasi, gercekte benim icin Belgrad Ormanları'nı temsil etmektedir, Istanbul'da Karadeniz'e yakin ormanlari. İlk 1/18 dioramam ama hala onu cok seviyorum.
