Make models, not war

October 31, 2009 | 4 comments

While surfing figure.fm, I came across this fantastic diorama by Francesco Coriglione from Sicilia, Italy. The piece is entitled “fate il modellismo, non fate la guerra”, translated as “make models, not war”.

The theme of having a Gundam making gunpla models caught my eye immediately. Upon closer examination, you will notice that Francesco put in a lot of effort. I applaud his attention for details.

Miniature gunpla kits were made from scratch, as were the gunpla boxes.

He even threw in a Millenium Falcon, an X-Wing and TIE-Fighter to complete the otaku image.

The Gundam even wears Keroro slippers!

All images taken from figure.fm.

Update!

Francesco left a comment with a link to this video of the diorama. IT MOVES!!!

    This is definitely something Sgt. Keroro would be proud of!

    Hello everyone I’m Francesco, yes, Francesco himself who made this diorama, from Italy!
    Just today, by accident, I found this blog.
    Chasuble made was a long work, nearly a year and allowed me to win three awards in Italy and to participate in the grand finale of BAKUC Bandai in Hong Kong in December 2009 finishing in 2nd place.
    You can see a short movie of my diorama in “moving” here:
