MickE Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Whilst patrolling in the South China Sea the USS Lexington encounters a new Japanese terror weapon - the Kamikaze Duck! This was a fun project and made a change to my normal subjects. Mick 13 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VMA131Marine Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 This diorama is great! It's given me some ideas for what to do with the Scharnhorst and the U-boat when it's released: maybe an egg-based replenishment at sea - in a bathtub. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadman Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I love it..!! There's a touch of Monty Python evident. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickE Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 Thanks for the comments everyone. Rod: A diorama of an egg plane giving birth would be hilarious. VMA131Marine: That would make for a great diorama. If you were looking to do that I found a great dolls bath complete with taps and shower attachment for a reasonable price you could use. It is available in the states but would have been too expensive for me here in the UK what with the postage, customs fees and rip-off Parcel Force charge.

Max Headroom Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 We need this sort of thing in modelling. This is the perfect antidote to the pre shading, FS colours, it’s over scale arguments. It’s fun. We need more of this type of thing! Trevor 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Timmy Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I think my favorite part of this diorama ,has got to be the plane's " Dive-bombing" the duck. I took a good look..... after I got up ( I fell down laughing ) and I must say, The carrier is quite well done Even if it is "supposed" to be a joke, it's a good looking ship . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickE Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 Thank originally was only going to have the ship but, as the bath came with the duck I put it in as well and had the Dauntless bombing it and Devastator torpedoing it. Those MENG kits are great fun. I have a Fujimu cartoon Ryoju Carrier on order, they do loads of these ships. Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek A Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 That's absolutely marvelous, it's a well known fact that the American Navy seriously underestimated the threat posed by the Kamakazi Ducks! 😃 😄 😄 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickE Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 Thanks Beefy. It made a change from my usual modelling subjects and you don't have to be concerned about accuracy and realism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
