Turbofan Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I've recently finished this Authentic Airliners 1/144 Caledonian Airways Boeing 757 and thought it would make a change to display it with my scratchbuilt British Airways Douglas DC10 Tugmaster. It's not a very complex diorama but I quite like it. Figures are from Preiser. Hope you like it and thanks for looking! Cheers, Ian 45 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 That looks ever so convincing, beautifully done. The 757 looks spot on. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Challenger350Pilot Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 WOW! Yep...she gets a WOW! Twice! Very very nice indeed, Ian. saw the posted pics on your standard base in the RFI, but this really grabs my attention. I love the tug...its beautiful. You've even included the line man's long headset cord! What did you use for that?? Just fantastic, Ian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelh Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Super, it looks just like you might see from the terminal building at a sunny Mediterranean airport. The hard shadows almost directly under the aeroplane adds to that effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The headset cord is just some very fine electrical wire I had hanging around. I tend to keep old electrical devices for any wires to use for detailing my models.

Thanks Noel, yes I had to wait for a long time for a sunny enough day here in the North West but I can tell you the temperature wasn't like the Mediterranean!!I Cheers, Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent K Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Fantastic! always liked the Caledonian scheme, this model and diorama really looks superb. Great memories for me too as I spent a fair bit of time introducing the 757 E into the fleet and designing the IFE and other mods on the aircraft for the charter work as a Development Engineer at the time.

Skodadriver Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Hi Ian I came across this by chance when I was looking for something else. I recognised the model from RFI and the diorama is a perfect example of how less can be more. Dave G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Lovely scene and the Tugmaster looks amazing. How long did it take you to scratch build it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick231 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Great display! Reminds me of my time airside. I have done all 3 ground jobs in this diorama. I must say though if I had been in the position the road man is in I wouldn't have lasted long in the job haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
