Brass Monkeys at Brafield - diorama....


Recommended Posts

Last one for a while.... this was supposed to show the conditions at Sywell's RLG at Denton/Brafield which only had a couple of huts and blister hangars. One of the guys who worked there was a Sywell Aviation Museum Trustee and always remarked on how bloomin cold it was (he drove the Thompson Refueller - and thats him at the front holding a spanner - RIP Eric)

 

Amera blister hangar (I wish they would do the front of a T2) and Airfix moths - the Thompson was a (quite expensive) white metal kit I forget where from, but you're better off buying the Oxford one for £8 and weathering it - its more accurate too) and the old Airfix ambulance....

 

The idea was to show a hoar frost over the aeroplanes and hangar - I'm not sure how successful I was at managing that!
