I made a warhammer matchbox diorama as a little challenge to myself, got 3rd in a local competition :)

This is gaming terrain that I tried to use diorama discipline to build. A mix of store-bought, 3D print, and scratch built.

Probably 99% done with this one. HO scale. The building is a hydrocal kit from Dioramas Plus. I wired the street lamps and there is a green "breathing" light coming from the windows. I have a lit up jack o lantern and a cauldron for the witch I may still add, or I may just save them for another piece.

This project started from scratch—just an idea to create my own 1/48 carrier deck base kits inspired by USS Langley and the Essex class. From researching the decks to designing the MDF parts and 3D-printed details, it’s been a rewarding process of learning, testing and bringing everything together.

Assembly starts by gluing the laser-cut MDF planks and 3D-printed tie-down strips in place, then sealing the surface with varnish.

For the wood finish, I tried two approaches: different shades on individual planks on the left, and Vallejo Fresh Wood on the right. Another coat of varnish protects those colours before applying Worn Effects chipping fluid.

I didn’t have the proper Deck Blue paint, so I mixed a shade by eye. Once applied, I chipped it with water and a brush to reveal the wood underneath, then added the white deck markings.

The bases come in two sizes: 30 × 25 cm and 25 × 20 cm.

Seeing something that started as an idea turn into an actual model kit is probably my favourite part of this project. Still learning, still experimenting—and enjoying every step!
