WNW The Crumpler
« on: January 04, 2017, 01:52:00 AM »
Those of you on FB may have seen my tired and battered warhorse Rumpler. I did some marmite method chipping on her. Unfortunately I dropped the damn model right at the end of rigging. Hence this new diorama, which involved some bending over a candle and some snipping and rearranging, including the prop. Idea was that she's ground looped after a forced landing. I'd already done the figures. The base is Meadow scene meadow grass and some fake earth.

Very nicely done Dave and a neat idea on turning it in to a dio in the end .

Brilliant recovery, Dave!  Your dio looks as though it had been planned from the start.  Only someone with your skills could pull that off.
Cheers,
Bud

Some amazing modelling, there Dave! I like it very, very much. It is so convincing and really shows what can be done! Your ground work and figure painting skills are excellent! I'm glad there are modellers like you around - it gives us something to aspire to!

Wow Dave, your unfortunate accident turned into a gorgeous diorama.  Your efforts in replicating the picture provided are to be commended.  Beautiful build all-around.

** Though black & White picture was a period piece, boy do I feel embarrassed (does not change the fact that your build is outstanding)   :o

What a shame you dropped it after all that work! Good recovery with the diorama though.

May I ask what is marmite method chipping?

   Brilliant recovery Dave! Your "ground work" is extremely convincing and the entire effect most impressive. As for replication of the photo reference, couldn't be better!! ;D ;D ;D

You're all very kind. It's not an old photo though, but one of the model put thru a bakamatsu kokushin  programme.

Try it here....

The marmite method is just a salt chip using marmite applied with a sponge over a CDL colour, then painted over, then scrubbed off with a stipple brush.
