That is really great work, Phillip. With the larger pictures I am
able to see some of the gorgeous things you have replicated.
Really well done! :D

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Some folks might not be aware that Phillip's dio is a faithful recreation of a real photo. I tried to find it on the interwebs but came up empty. But I think it can be found in the Pfalz D.XII WS DF... (IIRC)

cheers

The photo is to be found in Windsock Datafile 146 Pfalz D.XII at War p.3 photo no.7 (not sure if it was in the original D/F) and also in Jack Herris' Pfalz Aircraft of WWI p.93.

A wonderful piece of work from Phillip, as per usual! Hope to see it at Telford in less than a fortnight.......

BTW, great to see you on the forum, Phillip. Now that you know how to post good sized pics, how about showing off some of your other masterpieces which people here might not have seen? The Lilienthal glider vignette, for instance.

Hi Rowan,
I have posted the Lilianthal Glider under " Completed models ", I am sorry but I have spoilt all of Bo's hard work because I moved the Pfalz Diorama into a different folder in Photobucket , I am very sorry Bo.

   I am going to try and write code , "as taught by Bo" to get it back so hear goes.   


WOW i've done it WOW. thank you very much Bo I have done it .......YESSSSS

Hi Everyone,
Whilst at " Scale Modelworld " at Telford, the Reverend David, my carer (wheelchair bound for the show, unfortunately) and I queued for a long time at the Zoukei Mura stand.  After an hour and a half, we became numbers 66 and 67 in the queue, unfortunately Zoukei Mura only brought 65 HO 229's with them,to the show. :'(

         All was not lost, as this diorama won gold in Class 83 ( Diorama-people ) and IPMS Swidnica (IPMS Poland's ) Trophy "Best WW I Aircraft " . Ironic really as I did not know if it would go in:- Diorama_People, Diorama-Aircraft or Diorama-Cars !

      I am now starting an HPH Ohka Model 43-K1, as two good friends managed to persuade HPH models that I was a "safe bet " to build for review in a couple of U.K. based modeling magazines. I am dreaming of the phrase " measure twice, cut once " as I face the moment when I have to cut into £200 worth of resin to make a two seat Ohka.from two individual model sets.
Regards
Phillip

Congratulations, Phillip!  No small feat, that.  Well deserved.
Cheers,

I hope you don't mind Phillip but I have posted most of your photos here in full size, I am very impressed with what you have done so decided that everyone else should share this excellent diorama.

A really excellent diorama sir!  Recreating an original image is not always easy, especially for our time period as we're not exactly flush with gobs of figures as those that model the second unpleasantness are.
Very impressive!
