Any of you going to this? I found an article about it, and it has an interview with a guy who makes G.I.Joe dioramas.
Dioramas: Real world gone small -- chicagotribune.com "G.I. JoeWhat comes up repeatedly as you talk with hard-core diorama builders is this need to tell a story, to give a scene a touch of pathos, or a larger meaning, so to speak. Dollhouse builders give each room, and each item in each room, a reason for being. Likewise, your eyes go to the casket on Ron Biallas' pool table. Of all the G.I. Joe accouterments and elaborately staged G.I. Joe-centric vignettes packed into his low-ceilinged basement in Algonquin, that tiny box can't help but cut through the clutter. It's solemn, draped with a tiny Old Glory. Biallas is president of the Chicago chapter of the G.I. Joe Collector's Club. They host an annual collector's show at Jacobs High School in Algonquin, and their dioramas, and commitment to detail, drop jaws." |
