Another extraordinary work of art, Matz!  You are truly the king of 1/72 scale dioramas.
Cheers,

This is truely a great scene, I love the busy bomb loading crew under the aircraft and the mechanic up the ladder adjusting the engine, this is a really good diorama. You have also done a terrific job with the Model T conversion and the figures standing around add a sense of realism.

Malaula ! This is a fantastic diorama - a real inspiration to be sure. Where do you find the time ? Thank you for sharing,I'm just wondering what else you have accomplished and have not shown us yet.
Bronze award you say, are you sure ?

I am a big fan of yours,


Regards Matt

Very nice indeed, Lalaula. I think the final photo in particular, the one in black and white, works very well indeed.

Best wishes

Thanks Y'all! The hardest part of this build was sanding off and rescribing the overdone wing-ribs.Lots of elbow-grease and beer were needed to get me through this  ;)!
Here's some pics of the process:


Wing sanded and scribed using a sharp blade

First coat of acrylic paint

Second layer ,khaki thickly dry-brushed to fill the ridges scored by the blade


Final coat of PC10


Very light sanding of the wing ribs(picture shows I had been not careful enough on some spots and sanded off too much of the khaki)
