ANZAC Diorama - Wellington War Memorial Museum

I managed a trip to Wellington to grab a look at the ANZAC diorama displayed at the Wellington War Memorial Museum.This is a combined work contributed by all the hobby enthusiast around the New Zealand including our own 'Auckland City Guard Club', Here. The final finishing touches was done by the 'Kapiti Wargaming Club', Here. I am very honored to have also contributed and taken part in the project.

It was a magnificent display and I thoroughly recommend the visit. Well thought out with a beautiful design throughout. The display has been well documented on T.V, Print media and the net. I was pretty awe struck and I'lll let the pictures to follow to do the talking.

The exhibition included some superb coloured historic photo's from the time and many Weta Studio displays. This is just a small sampling. The Museum is open late on a Wednesday so I suggest you make a trip.

ANZAC diorama - Painting for Peter Jackson.

Sir Peter Jackson will create a exhibition diorama for the centennial commemoration, which will open on ANZAC day. He needs Hobbyists to help to paint the ~4000 miniatures to feature in the display. So I've put my hand up to do some of the volunteer painting. I'm realistic and know that my painting is table top but it should be ample for the grade needed for the display. They have provided easy colour charts and painting guides. If you want to get involved and volunteer too and be a part of history. I suggest you get a hold of the Auckland organiser Frank Ansell. frankansell@gmail.com and help out.

Very easy painting guides can be found on the official blog.

 Everyone should be able to match their range of paints to the equivalents.

 Here's the first few 54mm tin soldiers.

Good casts and will be all ready to go after removing mould lines..

I'll have more updates as I go. The minis are well made by Perry minatures. Good amount of detail and it should look very cool once in a massive diorama.
