In parallel I want to do something a bit shorter but can't decide between the Vampire, Typhoon, a 1/35 AFV, a 120mm figure or a 1/700 ship. I have a 1/350 Flower corvette that I want to make into a diorama but That might depend on the current experiments Alan All sounds Good Alan, will watch with interest what ever you make.

NavyShooter Posted January 25, 2023 Share #157 Posted January 25, 2023 Very nicely done! I like how you harkened back to the original WW1 photo, and the scene is well laid out and presented. Having seen a Whippet in person up in Borden, I was a bit surprised at the size of them, I've seen FT-17's before as well and the Whippet is much larger than I'd thought it would be. Great work!

NS Thankyou very much. I learnt a lot about making a landscape. I would like to see a Whippet. I was hoping to see a Ft-17 while I was in Warsaw recently but I went to the wrong museum. There are two military museums in the city (as well as the Resistance Museum) - i found out when I got home. Next time.

Can I ask how/where you got the case materials? Hi Mike Sorry for the slow response. I get the custom cut acrylic sheets for TAP Plastics. They have always been great to deal with and are very fast Cut to Size, Polycarbonate & Acrylic Plastics : TAP Plastics A hint that I have learnt. If you get smaller pieces for display cases like the WW1 in this topic the price of the cutting outweighs the cost of the acrylic. When that happens you can order multiple pieces of the same size without affecting the prices. So in this case I wanted a case 11 x 9 x 4 inches. The 9 x 4 pieces came out at 10 dollars but stayed at ten dollars all the way to six pieces. So I ended up getting 6 off 4 x 9, 6 off 4 x 11 and three off 11 x 9 without increasing anything except the shipping price a little. So that makes three cases at the price of the first. Hope that helps Alan Canute, Egilman, Edwardkenway and 4 others 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
