Brilliant Stuff Msea,

It looks very realistic, the foliage is inspired. A sign of a good Christmas those wine foils................?
Getting some good tips with the diorama, keep it up.

I used the same plants for 1/32 and they seemed large for OO (4mm) to me.
Great stuff, your imagination is fantastic.

Bombs on the rack with foliage added.
After a coat of pledge a bit of weathering to blend them into the idea of an old abandoned plane in the museum.

Yes, so will I, Christmas and all those other things seem to be getting in the way.

Well back from holiday and illness - so now on with a little modelling.
The base still looks wrong so have started making some grass to fit between the paving blocks. Old tea light metal cut with some very small scissors I found in a craft shop, they are for people who make cards so are a great size for this job. The back metal grass works out at about 3 feet tall so have made smaller ones, next job prime and paint then add to base.

The transfers have been rubbed to make them look distressed. Now to let them dry and then a coat of Klear then on with the weathering.

Nice work sir, I like the idea of rubbing down the markings BEFORE sticking them on. It's the simple things isn't it? (That's the IDEA not the MODELLER I'm talking about!!). I would have put the markings on first THN rubbed them down and messed up the finish on the aircraft!

Engineers rule - wizzle.
Grass fitted and bent over a bit -- now for the weathering.
