Pearl Harbor Diorama

by Dane &Erick Swanberg

--------------------

 

This is the Diorama that my 10 year old son Dane did for a school project.  He read a book about a teenage boy who watched the attack on Pearl Harbor.  This is a "Forced Perspective" Diorama.  The plane is a 1/48th scale Hasegawa Kate and the Arizona is from DML.  This is his first diorama and I helped him get all of the stuff together from a local art store here in Mainz, Germany.  The base is a picture frame that has been painted in a mixture of acrylic blue and green with white used as highlights and waves.  He hand painted the Kate and the Arizona.  I am very proud of Dane and the job he did on the models and diorama.
