First pair now with paint on them - seem to take an age to get done and 54mm figures are much easier

Looking very good indeed!

Cheers Nigel.

Wow!  That is amazing work sir. It’s one thing to paint up a 1/72 aircraft to realistic standards, but 1/72 figures are a whole different ballgame.
My hat is off to you sir!

The detail and accuracy is amazing, which really shows once you enlarge the picture way out of 1:1 scale.

Despite snapping off the head of one figure when it dropped on the floor, finding a replacement (the old painted one had disappeared for good) doing a bit of micro surgery and popping some new paint on I've managed to complete this little vignette at last

Here's a shot of the overall grouping on it's wooden base (I've since straightened out the tilting rudder  )

Final one for the time being since I'm supposed to be working!

Hope you like the finished piece
Thanks for the support

That looks superb Paul, really effective. The figures are a great touch. I'm sure that head will now appear from the maws of the carpet monster.....

Looking forward to seeing this in the flesh.

It's been a pleasure to follow this Paul, thank you for the journey!

Cheers Nigel. I think most model rooms contain a black hole where lost pieces drop through into another modellers 'bits box' 

It's been a pleasure to follow this Paul, thank you for the journey!

Hi Zac. It's been a bit more of a ride than expected, but thanks for joining in the fun

Really looking great! Love the setting / diorama you are building. Adds lots to the final appearance

Chatting to clubmate Nigel we both agree that, especially with smaller models, a small base with something going on adds to the model and helps prevent it getting 'lost' when viewed on a stand.

I'd like to do some more dioramas of airfield scenes in a larger scale, but simply don't have the space to keep them once assembled unfortunately so I'll stick with gentleman's scale for the time being

Paul,
        It's been a minute or two since I visited this build thread, and  . . . oh my!  I do so love those figures! I'd love to try modifying some as you have because there is so little produced for our scale, you've done such a wonderful job.
     The a/c are truly excellent as well. Like you, I have little room, so it's 1/72nd for me too. Just wonderful sir!

Many thanks Warren 

I've just been given some Preiser 1/72 (military) figures which look promising for converting so stay tuned . . .
