twp1 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Decided to do something a little different with a diorama. These are Airfix's 1:72 Spitfire Mk.1a from 92sqn and Messerschmitt Bf109E-4 of jagdgeschwader 54. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I like it. I think this is the first time I've seen a build on BM where the vanquished actually had bullet holes in it. Very imaginative diorama. From the way it's designed it appears it would keep curious furry critters from playing with the contents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have overdone the hits but its for my son so he wanted it shot to pieces. Think I've gone somewhere in the middle. It'll eventually go on a windowsill so the only critter who might play with it would be my son😅 Edited July 13, 2020 by twp1 bad grammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhutchi Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Looks good, glad it's got a prop and not one of those noisy witchcraft type things you keep building 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I quite like the combination - indoor plants and static scale models. I wonder what my Missus would think of this. She makes most of the interior design decisions in our household. At least, that's what she believes. 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff G Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Nice display! How did you create the bullet holes? I used to heat up the end of a paperclip and poke it through the plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just used a modelling drill bit with a little less finesse than usual to leave a less than perfect hole than added a little bit of silver around them to highlight and give the impression of paint being removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to try that myself, I like how it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
