Karl how was the build itself from Trumpeter?I built some SH I guess 3/4 in 1/48 the Whirlwind well was just OK.

it went together very well, i thought, no issues at all.

decals were pretty crap though, upper wing roundels were printed slightly off centre, leaving a white ring on one side, the checkers on the tail cone were a pain in the arse to put on too

 

[Gnomey]

Good one!

How about one from my boyhood, over half a century ago, when modeling was much more basic than it is now. I tried a 1/72 diorama using twigs from the yard as trees, and a mixture of salt and flour (I think) with water to make the sparkly snow. It looked fine (except for that one tree!) until after a few weeks the "snow" developed huge cracks and I think I threw the whole thing in the trash...

I think the steps in the snow from the figure are very good. Gives a life look at this dio.

 

[A4K]

Agree with both... the footprint and pancake scraping effects are especially good!

I immediately imagined the guy screaming "Get off my lawn!"

I think this is a brilliant little diorama and a lot of thought went into those extra details. Was it your Mum who suggested the snow mix!

Nice work!
