Hi
Here is my diorama freshly finished :)
Martinsyde Elephant belongs to AFC 67. Sqn. re-captured by British forces in 25 April 1917. Elephant is scratchbuilt and Rolls Royces are from Roden and old Resicast. Figures converted from ICM's ANZAC Infantry set.

What a great diorama! Everything, from the cars to the plane and the figures is first class!

I made a wing portion using soft balsa wood. Then made a mould and copied four pieces. Tail surfaces shaped thick plastic sheet.

Wing parts cut and shaped acording to drawing then glued and primed .

Before priming aligned wings and fuselage to set strut locations.

Structures ready for rigging...

jig made of foam . Easy and cheap but do not let the model long time otherwise...

Masterful, sir....simply masterful. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for showing the build of the aircraft, simply amazing, and the completed diorama is brilliant, the painting of the aeroplane, vehicles and figures is superb.

Chapeau,

Great job!! Behind the apparent simplicity and ease - a lot of work.
-
Very, very, nice! Thanks for the pictures of the Elephant...could we have more of the diorama? Just being greedy, it looks so good I think you should show it off a little more!
Ian

First time I'm seeing this. Really top shelf work in all aspects of the hobby. Carry on.
Dwayne

Wonderful diorama Ozkan. The vehicles are figures are first rate and really look the part. The scratch built Elephant is just superb. I learned a lot from your thorough build log. Thanks! Very well done.
Best regards,
Bob
-
Really fantastic build Ozkan!
When I saw original photo it became one of my "wish to build" in next... years?
I build only in 1/72 scale so I need a decent kit of the Elephant, I'm not good as you as scratchbuilder!
Many compliments, a great diorama well realized in every aspect!
Two questions:
- from photo it seems that Elephant is without wheels or are they under the sand?
- in internet there is an old debate about color of Turkish national insignia, black or red. I saw your beautiful Albatros D.III with red squares and this one with black, there is a rule? History?
Thank you for this beauty!

Ozkan

This is really wonderful work.
A splendid realization of an interesting scene, and a top-notch model of a favorite aeroplane.
I am very glad to get a look at it, having missed it first time around.
