Sqn. Ldr. Ray Hanna A.F.C. & Bar being a very, very naughty boy!

No it does not suck.

This is really lovely, Ron. I'm particularly impressed with th how you nonchalantly say "I've added some life to the river" and Boom! - it's looking completely believable. Are you going to tell us how you did it?

Thanks for the compliment Paul. :thumb2:

Re. the river. I simply spread a bit of clear silicone on the chunk of slate.

Cheers.

Certainly is effective.

Thanks Paul.

I've finally finished this build. A shed load of work for just a few photos. None the less, apart from the bad aircraft kit, I've thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of trying to get the model to very loosely, resemble Ray Hanna's 1988 stunt.

No photoshop stuff, just excellent 'Chucking' from the Mem Sahib!
Thanks to all you wonderful folks who contributed your most excellent comments during this build.

So here are a couple of pictures of the finished diorama. I'll post some more over in 'Dioramas Completed' asap.


Neeeeowww!






Cheers all.

As always Ron - brilliant execution and brilliant photos.
Jim
Oh and brilliant, Olympic standard chucking.

[spanner570]

Nice one Jim.
I'm chuffed you approve of the final result, but perhaps more important than the model,the present Mrs. Ron's quality chucking!

Thanks for the nice post.

Looks great. So is the plane on wires or has it really been chucked by your wife. Not sure if I'm missing a in-joke here or not.

[Mini Me]

As always 570, you never disappoint...... outstanding result and tip 'o the hat to the missus for her expertise in "chucking".....I don't think Idu Chuckumup could have done it better !!

Mike, you need to check out 570's previous wingy thing efforts to fully appreciate the aforementioned chuckology. It is truly "..a'ting'a'beauty".

Lovely job…..looks the part, especially the reflections off the water……absolutely bang on skipper……Moggy Catermole would be proud of you. ……and for those that don’t know how well Ron has recreated the scene, here’s the clip!

[spanner570]

Brill' posts!
Thanks ever so much for all your nice comments.

Good to see Idu popping up again. I really must 'invite' him back at some time....

Mike, my wife is always willing and able to chuck my aircraft models around. Some even make it to the photo stage on S.M.!
She also asked that I thank the lads for their praise. "Piece of Cake" she said. How clever is that?!

On the subject of which, please don't compare my efforts with the above clip. The film sequence just sparked a challenge and my effort is not meant to be an attempt at an exact 'copy'.

More photos to follow soon over on 'Dios. Completed.

Thanks again.
Ron
