The idea about these little diorama, is to make the Raiden, crash landed on a beach in some place on the Pacific, this will be my first job on these subjects.

I did small holes on the fuselage, to simulate the enemy machine guns shots

I cut away the ailerons an the elevator, to put in a more real position

I start to build the diorama base, so I did some Coconuts Trees

I use Piano wire 1/16" and Tamiya masking tape to make the thr trunk.

So with Tamiya XF-52 and a weathering the result was this:

The leafs I did with paper, I don´t know how these,paper is called in English, here in Brazil we call it Papel Vegetal, it was used to thechnical drawings.

Each Coconut Tree have around 3,5" and 4" tall, and the leafs about 1".
