Felixstowe F.2A 1/72 diorama. Finished on 25.09.2010


Recommended Posts

Thanks Gregg :jaw-dropping:

I added a couple of details and corrected a slight inaccuracy: a Royal Navy Officer promotes the RN, not the Army! So I changed the poster.

Note the camera: there is now a pump trigger and a curtain. One can guess the scene on the glass at the back of the camera, upside down of course.

The two seagulls play the fools around the seamen. One on top of the plane, the other sitting on the poster.

My thick fingers shot for the eternity.

The seaman chasing away the gull on the wing. I need to tweak his position and provide him with a broom.

Platine medal for your work. Your diorama is not finished and yet it already tells a story: I am feeling like I just read a book, and you brought me in some imaginary world.

Ce sont les gens comme toi qui m'ont donné envie de faire du maquettisme ;)

Thank you Toniosky and Blackcollar :lol:

The wood is real. I used sticks (similar to doctors' tongue depressors), available from the art supply shop. Other parts are made out of pine wood from the Do-it-Yourself. On the other hand, on the model all "wood" is just painted with oils.

Here we are, the seaman left the hospital and the paint booth.

The officer got his shoes polished :)

I slightly changed the scene: the second gull went to a quieter place. The seaman now climbs on a ladder placed in front of the wing.

Here is the gull, fishing crabs and other food made ready available when the tide is out.
