It's looking good Terry. You're pulling this off nicely.

Thanks Joe the big one for me at the moment is not to rush as the end is near.

Hi Terry I've just saw this and I like it, the weathering you have done so far is very effective, can't wait to see this one completed.

Well I haven't had much time over the last few weeks for one reason or another to do anything on this dio.

So over the last couple of days I snatched an hour or two. the pallets are now done and the parts stuck on one of them and weathered. I have also given the top side of the aircraft a dusting of sand adding more in where it is likely to settle more.

The hummer is not far off being complete with just a few bits to add and the weathering to complete it. Then I will pick a few figures to add to finish the scene.

I am in the next day or two hoping to contact or at least try to contact someone on a photographic storage site to gain permission to use at least one of their pictures as a back drop. If it was only going to be used as a back drop for the shelf at home I wouldn't bother.

as I intend showing the build and back drop on a couple of sites and not wanting to land anyone in the brown stuff for using an image without permission I think this is the best way. So no permission no back drop unless anyone knows somebody with images of F-16's at DM they would be happy for me to use.[ATTACH]86490.IPB[/ATTACH]

Looking great Terry ! Sadly I did'nt get any 16 pics when I went to DM ,the place is huge and I never saw any of them in the little time I had to wander about.

So tonight I have chosen some of the figures I want on this board. I have decided to add a bit of humour to it as you will see by the pictures below.[ATTACH]86632.IPB[/ATTACH]

Some of the figures need modifying a tad to get them how I would like.

That's looking really good Terry. Going to be a very interesting diorama to look at when it's finished.

[Guest]

I'm agree with Joe, this will be very interesting

Looks lovely!

[Guest]

with the view of only using one. I quite like the look of the one that is about to strike but am not 100% sure. The pictures are not the best but am handing it over to you guys to say which one is the best.
They are not painted yet as they are still drying.

Precision hands :-) I like them both
