Army_Air_Force Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 This diorama set was won in the Airfix Christmas competition in 2017. It is not my project, but my daughter's. She had not long turned nine when we made a start in Christmas 2018, with progress being made in small steps as and when the mood took us. She did most of the work with the exception of the camo net, detail painting on the figures and some gloss and matt coat spraying. Each sub model was built as a project of its own, allowing us to reach a painting and decalling stage more quickly, so maintaining interest. I had a large input in advice and guidance, pointing the way, helping to hold parts while being glued, but the vast majority of the work was hers. It was finished a few days ago when I sprayed a final matt coat after all the details had been added. The build thread and a larger selection of completed pictures can be found here.......... 23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 And didn't she do well. Tell her that she should be really pleased, and proud of what she has achieved. So what's next.... the Rhine crossing?? John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a 1/35 Tamiya Jeep which may get built to match my 1943 Ford GPW. I already have a model of my other Jeep and Dodge.
