Did you happen to do a build report? Please more pictures. Yes it is planned to make a complete report in the German magazine " MODELLFAN" in the near future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is sufficient motivation for the next thing!! Thank you all!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbob12 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Masterful result; so much to be impressed with, but I'll just ask one question. How did you do all the teeny-tiny autumn leaves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainly28s Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 1:48? No way- that's 1:24th. You're just telling us it's 1:48th, right? Absolutely amazing work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul821 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 It wasn't until I got down to the last picture that I was convinced that this was a model - let alone 1:48th. Like others have said I thought you had been busy with photoshop. Not only is it a great model but brilliant photography. There really needs to be a gold plated like to apply to modelling of his standard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 That clunk you just heard as my jaw hitting the floor. Amazing work with incredible attention to detail, you must tell us which beer you use as a modelling aid! Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It acts like LSD...sometimes! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Btw, Celle is near Hanover and we had a lot of British army soldiers here. Unfortunatley they are gone some years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl42 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 As others have said, masterful build and photography!!! My initial reaction to the first picture was "wow, that's an exceedingly good period photo"! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Law Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) The most realistic crash scene I have seen. Love the landscaping. Now you need to get someone to pay for the rescue. I sure they would be interested in restoring it.😉 This is so good I will make one of the images as my screen image for a while. 🙂 Edited March 27, 2019 by Greg Law 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelh Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) I thought it was perfect until I viewed it on my 4K UHD TV and zoomed in really close. Once I'd enlarged it until the rudder trim tab was approximately 20 cm long on the screen. It was obvious that it was a little thick. So I'm afraid I can only rate it 99.999% Harsh I know but there you are. 😉 😁 Joking aside my son came into the room as I was looking at it on the TV. He said that plane could be fixed up and fly again. When I told him it was a model. He was disbelieving until I showed him the diorama.

Andrés S. Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Hi. Seldom have I seen such a degree of realism on an airplane. A model of an airplane may be more, it may be less detailed, but the realism achieved by the "things that crawl" far exceeds those achieved in aviation. But this is not the case. Absolutely magnificent !!!!!!! Congratulations. Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horatio Gruntfuttock Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Can't really add to the adulation expressed by those before me but I am stunned by the realism you have achieved Andy - brilliant work and you deserve all the praise being heaped on your creation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
