    I've been thinking about a diorama for this and I think I'll have it in a museum with one of the engines on display. A bit like this. There's an awful lot of detail in the engines in this kit and it seems a shame that so much still be hidden. Not sure if it'll work but I think I'll give it a go.

    I'm painting the figures to go on the diorama and I'm very new to this... One previous attempt. So I watched a couple of YouTube videos. The one I've followed was to prime in black, then highlight with white. This is what I ended up with, although this figure is for a different project Next step was to water down the paint and apply very thinly, glaze it effectively, and then add some highlights by dry brushing and a bit of a darker paint wash to add depth. It's amazing how the the high and lowlights really make a difference, I've tried to capture it in the images below.

    Superb. Excellent job!

    Diorama base is finished. I've bought some ground crew resin figures that I'll paint up to finish it off I really think that putting together a 'scene' really shows off the model and just is more interesting to look at. I've found that I like doing them as well.
  28. chadwijm6
    Thanks for following along Ken. I'm already wondering where there's room in the house to put it!
  29. chadwijm6
    I'll get to see one in the metal, probably just a fly over though, at the Midlands air show on the 1st June. I've seen lots of photos of the red bull one online, in fact that was why I wanted to seek out an all metal version to model. They are a cool looking plane !

    So I've decided which plane to make. I really wanted to do a full chrome version and I wasn't taken by the sharks teeth that are okay of the kit to be honest. At the same time I wanted to find an airframe with a history and keep it as accurate as I can. So I'll be making 'That's All Brother' from the 340th BG, I've found this photo on the net. And I've also found decals for it Here's a link to the history of the squadron for those who are interested. The plane was deployed to the Mediterranean Theatre of Operations during world war 2. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/340th_Flying_Training_Group
  31. chadwijm6
    How cool!! 😄
  32. chadwijm6
    Thanks for following along. Now I look more closely at the cover art, the picture of the pilots reminds me of the autopilot in Airplane 😂
  33. chadwijm6
    I'm assuming it's the autonomous version. Much safer for the crew, who were in the pub and probably should have been more widely utilised! 😂 Nice to have you on board Mark.
  34. chadwijm6
    You're very welcome gents. Thanks for following along 👍🏻

    Well for my next project I'm trying a new brand, HK Models, as a change from the Airfix I started with. This will be my 4th build. I love bombers, my first model was the Lancaster, this will dwarf it though a that was a 1/72. I bought this on eBay, saving £100 off a new one and as you can see in the pictures, everything is still in their bags. I've not done any research yet so I think a read through the instructions and a Google will be the next steps....
  36. chadwijm6
    Excellent detail OC, looking good 👍🏻
  37. chadwijm6
    The whirlybird is fully assembled now but I'm not finished yet... I've started to build a simple diorama to sit him on, which needs some grass variation and some mud adding over the next few days. Maybe a few bushes. Another lovely kit from Airfix and I'm pretty pleased with result.
