F-15E Dio

[Guest]

Here is a dio that I am thinking of doing. Everything on the board at the moment still needs finishing. There are more figures and a few more bits of ground support bits to add.

Think it will be titled show time prep when it is done[ATTACH]69804.IPB[/ATTACH]

This will be great Terry

I like the soil, you can do a excellent weathering on it

PS: just a question....this model is the same as Dave ones, on the SIG, isn't it?

It os Polux yes. I was going to put this idea up before I knew Dave was doing it for the SIG but pulled back from doing so when I knew he was.

[Guest]

Mmmmm.... I'm thinking....the soil is plastic card (ever green) ?

[Guest]

Nope! It is wet and dry painted with soft stone dulux paint then cut in to the sections before being stuck down with spraymount. Once I have everything built I will weather it then set everything up to see what it looks like.

Nice idea for a dio.Would never have thought of painting wet n dry to make concrete base.Looks good.

[Guest]

Thanks Dave just wish the decals on the a/c had come out as good as yours

I like that idea Terry. Nice tip on the concrete too. Might nick that one day.

Had a bit of trouble with my decals.Which was a surprise as Revell decals are normally excellent.I put a clear gloss coat on the model before decaling.But some of them still Didnt want to settle into the engraved detail even using Microsol and Microset.I put the small stencils on with Klear floor polish which did the trick.Should have used it on all of them.

Looks awesome, maybe u should change your status not as noobie i think.

Looks like its going to be a cracking diorama Terry, I will watch and see how you progress with this.

[Guest]

Thanks guys. It's great to be doing one again only with an aviation theme as I used to do armour themes.

[Guest]

This looks good so far i like the idea, what scale is the f15 it looks around 1/48? Keep up the good work terry.
