Soeren R.
Nice! I definitely need one of these to put it on my base for photos of my WWII planes....

Stefan Schacht
well done 🙂

Thanks Soeren and Stefan. I was stuck in a modeling rut and just was not getting anything done, so I started something new. A Vehicle. I am planning on adding the jeep and trailer to a airfield Diorama. The jeep and trailer are from the Academy's P-51 North Africa kit and I will use the oil drums from the Academy's Ground Vehicle set and other bit and pieces from my spare box. The jeep and trailer are done and I am now starting on the diorama base. So stay tuned more to come.

Thanks Es-haq Khosrqavi. I have started the diorama base. I am going to use Academy's P-47s drop tanks and oil drums with some PSP planking. I may also add some more stuff later, Stay tuned.

Work on the Diorama base is underway. More to come.

I am happy to say that this one is finally done. I did not use the PSP planking but just used some mud and grass. I had fun with this one, I like doing dioramas and want to do more. I already have several ideas, so stay tuned.
