Gimme Shelter Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Hello Here is the 1/144 Revell Boeing 747-436 wearing a mix of 26Decals, Draw and AA decals in the British Airways Chatham Historic Dockyard livery. Photo etch landing gear assemblies were used along with 3D printed leading and trailing edge flap sets (that was a lot of plastic surgery) I made the kit to display the aircraft on very short finals but have been constantly told that as it tells a story and has figures, that it qualifies as a diorama, so here it is just about to cross the perimeter road of no particular UK location.

Gorby Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Fantastic! It very nearly cleared that big telegraph pole in the middle. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Hi John, A diorama is a diorama and that's a brilliant one. I once had to answer the call of nature at Heathrow late at night when I was a taxi driver and jumped out to go up against what I thought was just a big screen/sound-break. Moments later a 747 came in about 40ft above my head and I got wet trousers lol. This dio reminded me of that. Rearguards, Badder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutcastJoel Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 This is a lovely diorama, great use of forced perspective without having to control the viewing angle! Lovely modelling too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
