For me a perfect diorama could be considered as a three-dimensional photograph, full of life and motion. From such a point of view it's a good idea to show a capital ship with lots of minor auxiliary ships, boats, barges or seaplanes. Being a Kaiserliche Marine (1914 - 1918) "specialist" I suffer from the lack of commercially produced accessories. Is there a solution? Yes, scratch-building. So - here they are - almost all of the important German WWI seaplanes, gathered together in a single matchbox! Note that the Albatros and both Brandenburgs show standard lozenge camouflage scheme, printed canvas cover.
