foureyes Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 This is my fifth and sixth build . Did the spit first and kept adding to the base untill I was happy. Its my first model on a base. And my first go with my air brush. Hope you all like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kallisti Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 A very battered and rusty looking Austin Tilly there, lovely weathering. Great figures - I've used those myself so can appreciate the finish you got on them. Its such a lovely diorama that I hesitate to bring up that age old topic of Austin Tillys not being used by the RAF and how annoying that Tamiya made that mistake. However, I still like the overall composition of the diorama, very nicely done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike DeTorrice Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I like very much indeed ! Wonderful diorama featuring first-class work. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) No need to be 'kind'! Excellent modelling skills in evidence and an atmospheric diorama. Good use of the slightly beat-up Tilly! Minor niggle: in that situation, with the pilot boarding (so the stick wouldn't be secured by a locking device!), the elevators would typically droop a bit. From a layout POW, there's a lot of empty space in the front right corner, with the Tilly and the grass tilting the balance of the composition to the back area. Maybe add some bits and pieces in the forward part of the apron to balance things up a bit? Also, since the pilot is boarding and engine start seems imminent, where's the starter cart? ;-) As I said, niggles. Really nice work there, with a lot oft that 'real' feeling! Kind regards, Joachim Edited April 20, 2012 by Spitfire31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foureyes Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) Just a quick pic of the cockpit/dash. Pained by hand no Decals just a blob of clear cement to simulate glass on each dial. Edited April 21, 2012 by foureyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
