Excellent job Ian....It was a brave build to undertake, and you've managed it very nicely thank you!

Plenty of action. Yep, I like it......Very well done.

I must confess to loosing the buzz with my 'crashed' build, but seeing yours has given me a bit of spark to get back to it!!!

Cheers,

Ron

Well nice, the battle damaged rudders especially. I also love the detail of the broken wing's interior structure. A lot to look at and I imagine a lot of hard work. An easy big, bootiful 5*****s

 

[CDW]

Brilliant Ian, really well planned out and completed.

I love the little fire truck especially, really looks the part.

Definitely a ***** job.

Many thanks everyone for the nice comments i realy did enjoy building this diorama and Shane your point about the marks and scrapes on the runway are taken onboard i never gave it a thought still fairly new to this diorama building

 

[AJay]

So where do you keep this diorama for safe keeping and viewing, Ian?

 

[papa 695]

Hi Alex well its sat in a display cabinet in my sons bedroom with the rest iv'e built since joining this forum last year

Many thanks everyone for the nice comments i realy did enjoy building this diorama and Shane your point about the marks and scrapes on the runway are taken onboard i never gave it a thought still fairly new to this diorama building

It was ment as a good point not a bad mate, I have never built one before and you have some amazing detail there.. I wasn't looking for mistakes or anything it was just something I noticed, again great work buddy

Shane

 

[AJay]

Ian, that's good then, at least it won't get so dusty

 

[papa 695]

Hi Shane i never took it as a bad criticism glad you pointed it out mate we all learn and if its not pointed out how can we. To behonest i never take any criticism to heart just take it onboard and move on happy modeling

 

[Gern]

I said before you'd been and gone and ruined a perfectly good Lanc! No worries though 'cos you've turned it into a superb dio! ***** from me too.

Wonderful work Ian. The bullet holes and exposed framework are really well done. I quite liked the finish on the ambulance and fire engine too.

 

[yak face]

Hi ian , just caught up with this one , fantastic work mate! Theres so much going on and so much added details ,its just great. I always remember seeing the old airfix emergency vehicles set and thinking they looked good but this is the first time ive actually seen them used , and to such great effect , 5 *from me too, cheers tony

 

[colin m]

Brilliant job. But I do wonder how long you paused, with the saw in hand over the wing before finally going for it !
