richdlc Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Hi guys after 18 months work I got the B-17 diorama finished a couple of weeks ago, just in time for the IPMS UK Nationals at Telford this weekend - I was going to wait until the last minute to post in 'Ready For Inspection' but I don't think I'll get a spare moment before I head off down South on friday, so here are some photos of the finished diorama. You can find the build thread here: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234919436-132-scratchbuilt-b-17-fortress-diorama-update-1009-995-complete/ Without getting all mushy about it, I would like to thank everyone who has helped out and more importantly kept me going on this project! If you're going to Telford, I hope to see you there Rich 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Brilliant work, Rich! If that doesn't take home some kind of award, then something's very wrong. Best of luck! I just wonder how many times you're going to be asked "Is that the HK B-17?". Regards, Jason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Brilliant, brilliant finish. From someone who loves to see a model placed in a setting of some description, this is probably the finest I've seen yet. Well done, and if you don't pick up some awards at the weekend, there's something wrong with the world, Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
