These Star Wars And Gundam Dioramas Will Melt Your Face

As a kid, I was always impressed with models. I was more impressed with full-blown dioramas – still am. These dioramas, though, aren’t merely impressive; they’re brain-destroying.

At the recent Shizuoka Hobby Show, Star Wars and Gundam dioramas nearly stole the whole damn show.

The level of detail in these miniature masterpieces is stunning. They’re like those miniature cities found in old Toho monster flicks that a man-in-a-suit would stomp through a model town.

But he wouldn’t stomp through these. He’d stop dead in his tracks and simply say, “No”.

    That Millennium Falcon alone is detailed enough to be a huge centrepiece model… then I realised it was just meant to be a wart on the larger Star Destroyer model and my brain just exploded.

    Only issue I have is with the Death Star. It has visible, human-scaled ‘levels’, despite the thing being hundreds (if not thousands) of miles in diameter (comparable to a small moon), meaning even huge, recognisable landmarks to us must be indistinguishable on the model.

      Maybe it was the ‘proof of concept’ build, prior to making th efull version!

      I don’t know if that is a death star, it could just be a smaller space station, in the likeness of the death star.
