Simmo.b 1,123 Posted April 20, 2015 I plan to display the big Felix in a diorama setting showing the aircraft preparing for a patrol in the last days of the war. I constructed the base from medium density fibreboard and pine, stained it walnut and then modified the Italeri long dock to make the sea wall. Eventually the aircraft will be sitting on a wooden ramp but for now a rag will do! A close up, the engines are dry fitted To start the water effects I glued down the roughest grade of watercolour paper available, the close up shows the dimples that this paper has which will be the starting point for creating the water More soon!! 4 Fooesboy, Zero77, Bill Cross and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Robinson 186 Posted April 29, 2015 Great work Simmo. I'll be watching how you create the water effects with great interest. This will certainly be an impressive display. What are the dimensions of the base if I may ask? Cheers Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simmo.b 1,123 Posted April 29, 2015 Cheers all, Mike, the working area of the base is 1 meter x 1/2 meter, it expands beyond that a little with the wood mouldings but the above dimensions is the actual diorama area. Thanks for looking in Cheers Brent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
