Looks outstanding, Rick.
Nice attention to detail.

This is a forced perspective diorama I made several years ago. In the foreground at the start of a dive is a 1/72 scale Curtiss SB2C Helldiver that I modified by opening the dive flaps, adding Hobbymaster crew, and mounting a PropBlur propeller. The SB2C below is a 1/700 scale Helldiver from Trumpeter. The Yamato is a prepainted 1/2400 scale model from F-Toys. For the water, I used extra thick matte medium colored with Model Master Acryl dark sea blue.

How about a slot car diorama in progress?





HO (1/64th) scale. It's currently torn apart to the Styrofoam and being coated in spackle. Then it will be sculpt the rock faces and hill sides and start painting......
1/64 is "S" scale. HO is 1/87th.
 
1/64 is "S" scale. HO is 1/87th.
I'm not really sure if slot cars actually conform to the defined scales, but I've always known them to be referred to as "HO" in the circles I run in.

I know my diorama certainly doesn't conform to a strict scale size. If it did it wouldn't all fit on a 4x8' table....
