Whilst in Scotland I found these dioramas that I thought might be of interest to you nautical/diorama chaps. Firstly, we went on a trip to Ellenabeich on Seil (prononuced 'seal') Island and in the little museum is a diorama of the local slate quarrying industry. The last photo is of one in the waterfront military museum in Oban of WWII ships. In the museum was a huge model of a Sunderland a/c hanging from the ceiling and straight away Tracy told me I couldn't take it home

Here's the resin surprise Chris.....
The Unicraft kit of the RAF 'What If' Boulton Paul P.100 ground attack a/c. 22 pieces of resin, 1 clear vac canopy, no instuctions, no decals, no cockpit floor but strangely the seat and console are provided as is a profile of the a/c.
The design can be traced back to a design spec issued, without number, on 7 March 1942 for a 'highly manoeuverable single-seat low attack a/c for employment against military forces on the ground, aircraft, invasion craft and shipping. Initially BP designed the P.99 a twin boom aircraft powered by a rear-mounted Griffon engine driving a six blade contra-rotating propeller. To avoid the propeller when baling out the pilot had a downward escape mechanism where the lower forward fuselage fell away (good luck with that one at low level!!).. The P.100 took these features but replaced the tail-wheeled twin boom with a tricycle undercarriage and canard configuration. Armament was to be large calibre cannons and either bombs or rockets with a desired service entry date of January 1944.
I definitely think this one will be a tail-sitter!!!!

The house looks like one we saw in Tobermoray recently. No Charlies though as they can't get the staff to open!!!!

Great looking model that looks like it means business!!

Looks great, did you use masking fluid for the curves?

A lot more cleaning and fettling, but if it's the only game in town...........

Slowly but surely I've managed to get a bit further. The wheels have been cleaned up as best as, drilled and then painted, two of the cradles for the large bombs were made from Evergreen angle with that for the large round 'Innsbruck' being made from the spare rear cockpit combing from the Matchbox Heinkel He 70 plus struts from Evergreen strip.

If it takes chopping things up as well as making Zombies to produce a great piece of work like this then the therapy appears to be working.
