Here's why I haven't been working on any aircraft for a while, and won't be for a couple of months. I'm working on quite a big diorama using the Tommy's War "Gassed" set which I've had in the stash for a while now. The basic idea is to have a row of gas casualties walking away from the front down a muddy corduroy road. I'm basing the groundwork on photos like this one:

This is the basic idea for the layout of the diorama. I added a couple of additional figures at the front of the row of casualties so that there is a medic leading them:

So far I have painted (but not weathered) the figures:


I've also added the basic groundwork with VMS smart mud, laid the corduroy road and have an idea for how the debris and other bits and bobs will be laid out:

I'm now off to paint all the debris and stuff. Will report back when I have made more progress. Anyone got a colour chart for rats.....?
