ian lanc Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 (edited) Hello and good day to you all !! when i found out that airfix were re-releasing this model again i just had to get it and build a dio',was a bit dissapointed to find there was no decals or glass parts for vehicles, and every thing was covered in 'flash' :mellow: theres nothing worse than scraping for hours just to clean it up but when you've finished you get a bit of satisfaction out of it !!. i added other vehicles to make it a bit more interesting, tha dio measures 13' x 16' and is made from an old picture frame, it all turned out well Edited July 16, 2006 by ian lanc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silvascoob Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Cool......nice little dio. I picked one of these up a Biggin this year........hopefully it'll turn out as nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Loggie Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Good one Ian. I'm working on an idea for a dio (no clues) featuring a cluster of 3 launchers (& 2 misiles). Bought an old kit for AS$1. It had everything but the missile & I'm too mean to chuck it out. Try doing the windscreens with Krystal Kleer or microscope slide coverslips (= really thin glass squares) bits of clear book-covering plastic sheet. One thing, I hope you mean 13" x 16" (not '). George, out.............. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ian lanc Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 hello george, the next time i build a vehicle,i'll look into some k/kleer + book covering stuff,not very often i make little tiny cars, and as for the size good god wouldn't it be BIG ;) it is only inch's thanks.....ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathan Mock Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Nice work Ian. The diorama has balance and tells a story in a very simple way. Incidently, when it comes to RAF support vehicles, keep your eyes peeled for the Cararama 1/72 die-cast Minis that can be picked up for a quid. Given them a once-over with a peice of Scotchbrite, repaint RAF blue/grey and you have an station runaround! The other week I drove past a Bloodhound missile in, of all places, a reclamation yard! Next time I'm in the Industrial Museum in Bristol I shall mention this to them as I think its an important piece of local history that should be preserved and not left to rot.

Roland Pulfrew Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Nice diorama. What kit did you use for the LWB Landie? For those planning to do a Bloodhound dio, you may want to have a look at Breighton airfield or North Coates airfields on a site such as multimap. Have a look at the aerial photos for the layout of a Bloodhound site. Breighton Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Breighton hello roland, the l/rover is made by 'new ray toys' and are pre built and very detailed, there seems to be alot of these cropping up in model shops, there's loads to choose from and at £ 1.50p each, there a steal!!!!
