    This is superb stuff Tony - I was in awe, thoroughly enjoying the read and then I was very surprised to see myself name-checked! The fur collar makes all the difference.

    Neil's 1-35 Liberty Ship Diorama

    My apologies for the long gap between posts on this project, but there’s been a lot of distractions at Merryweather Towers to keep me from making any progress with it,unfortunately. BUT.... One of those distractions has directly affected this project, namely the fact that I have had the loft...

    Best material for base board on a diorama?

    I used foam board professionally for many years. Make a shallow tray(25mm deep?) and diagonally cross brace it . If necessary use small triangles to keep the sides at 90degrees.Then turn it upside down, job done, model base. If you want you can enclose the bottom as well. 10mm foamboard is...

    RAF Pilot 1-32 Scale

    I needed another break from painting khaki so I broke this boy out of the stash. He’s part of this set from ICM . He’s a surprisingly good sculpt for an injection moulded figure -I just enhanced the sheepskin and sharpened up some of the detail. He was very enjoyable to paint, and I...

    Hi Ninna welcome to the forum. do you have an image of the camouflage? I imagine decals or transfers would be ideal for a digital style of camouflage

    Neil's 1-35 Liberty Ship Diorama

    Thanks Steven, glad you like him. Well you didn’t have to wait too long for our next GI. Here he is with his kit unpainted. I decided to add some variety in height so I deliberately made him quite short. I have also decided not to use any more of these horrible Italeri arms! I have been...

    3D printer

    Stephen, there have been many discussions on this subject on this forum over the last few years, to which I have always contributed. I used 3D-printing professionally for over 20 years before it became affordable to us hobbyists. I recommend a look at those discussions before you spend any...

    Not a Moment to Lose… Battle of the Bulge, Ardennes, December 1944

    OMG Tim that's totally fantastic! The amount of detail you've crammed into it is off the chart. You could have got away with leaving the shed door closed but no, you decided to FILL it with STUFF! I'm in awe, sir.

    Neil's 1-35 Liberty Ship Diorama

    Thanks everyone, as always, for being interested enough to comment. It’s good to know this is not happening in a vacuum. I’m pleased to announce that GI number 2 of the 3rd batch is painted, hurrah! Here he is in my temporary 3D-printed base, but I can’t wait to see what they look like on the...

    3D printer

    If you're interested I used a lot of 3D printed pieces, both FDM and resin, in my D-Day Diorama(still ongoing) https://www.scalemodelling.co.uk/threads/neils-1-35-liberty-ship-diorama.1234498/page-11#post-1276074

    3D printer

    I use the Elegoo Mars 2 , which I bought in 2022 and I'm still very happy with it. There are several newer versions by now and it also has a big brother called Saturn, so depending on how big the models are that you want to print, you could do a lot worse.

    Neil's 1-35 Liberty Ship Diorama

    Well thanks everyone for the positive feedback, it really does help. I'm sorry for the long delay ,but it wasn’t only decorating and Christmas that got in the way; I needed a break from all the khaki so I went a bit Napoleonic for a while, but I'm back on track (for now...). So Figure 2 of this...
