Woody V Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I've always been fascinated by the aircraft and tempted by the kit, so what a pleasant surprise to find this wonderful build. Bravo! So welcome to the forum, and BTW, your English is much better than my Italian! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc65 Posted October 10, 2021 Author Share Posted October 10, 2021 thank you all! the more I advance toward the end of this project, the less I'm convinced about it... I know that's uneasy do create a compelling and interesting base for a in scale aircraft, given its inherent flattness, but every time I try to measure myself with this task, I'm dissatisfied with the results. so. this is the state of the art: I find it so... flat! I tried to give some interest by putting low bushes, made with lichens, and using these as obstacles for the wind-blown dry snow. and, to render the right side less empty, I added a mud pool. I'm building the deep adding layers day by day, and I'm exerimenting (on another sheet) some solutions to give it a final layer of broken ice, but I'didn't find the right stuff, yet. greetings from a perplex builder! cheers, Paolo Dpgsbody55, denders, Greg W and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Wow! That broken ice looks perfect to me. I think you've found your solution Matt mc65 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landrotten Highlander Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) Creating a scenery is always a challenge. Question is what is the subject of your scene - the wonderful work on the plane, or the base? When choosen your subject - and in this case I think it is your work on the plane - the other parts only serve as support to the overall story and image. Hence the other parts need to remain simple and subservient to the plane. In my opinion you have achieved that result. p.s. only thing to add would be a little snow sticking to the wheels.

spartacus2000 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Hi Paolo Great job, to harmonize the plane with the ground you should dirty and snow the wheels a little to "wet the wheels" especially the one that ended up in the puddle which should also be dirty with mud. mc65 and Landrotten Highlander 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc65 Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 Thanks to all for the appreciation and suggestions, for sure airplane and men will be muddy very well, at the moment these are only resting on the base, on wich I'm still working! I'm not yet satisfied by the broken ice in the puddle, so I'm experimenting different materials to do that, meanwhile I'm adding water layer by layer. cheers, Paolo.

Kenneth Joy Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Im in complete aggreement with Highlander. The aircraft and your beautiful effort is the main focus...and it is magnificent. The ground work is just supporting cast of sorts, and i can attest to you nailing the cold fall/winter feel, as i live in North Dakota. We know sometimes about being cold up here mc65 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneth Joy Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 ....just noticed something. The plane and stretcher bearers are where they need to be... but the other two guys look to be blocking the stretcher bearers. Maybe open them up a bit to convey them welcoming the wounded guy or letting him through??? mc65 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grunticus Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Paolo, what a S-P-E-C-T-A-C-U-L-A-R re-entry into the hobby. Truly awesome... Thank you for pointing me to this thread, it will be my guide for my build. Even when I am not even close to your skills I will do my best. Thanks! Cheers, Leon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc65 Posted December 19, 2023 Author Share Posted December 19, 2023 Leon, thank you (and to Kevin, of course) to find this thread, I wasn't able to do that! this remind me that I hadn't solved yet the icy puddle on the ground... time to pay some attention to it and close that work. as I said, I've quite some reference material about the Fi 156, just ask if you need. cheers, and thank you again, Paolo LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
