Ww1 horror of the trenches

Nice.

A diorama is like a model itself. The amount of detail one chooses to or is able to put into it is a factor, but less detailed (as with the crashed plane) still makes its point. Like a sketch compared to a well detailed full painting, each can be excellent for what it conveys. Your dio is plenty good, and better than any "non-artist" (like me!) can do. Thanx for the imaginative scene.

Hi all well here is the next installment, I was going to do this crashed in a green valley in the summer but then I thought, this is supposed to be showing the horror of the war, so I decided to have it crashed in a cold snow covered muddy field, so here is the revision, personally I think it looks really cold.

Very effective, looks brilliant Ken.

Hi all I decided to put the decals on before I put the wings on or the rigging as I can see it being very fiddly after, I'm figuring that maybe I will rig each layer of wings before I add the next layer, I know nothing about rigging planes, is this a good method or will it cause problems later on.

Hi all well here is the next update, I'm not happy with it but hey, that's par for the course, me and planes just plain don't mix.
The one thing in my advantage is none of the kids will probably never have seen a triplane and even if they had it would have probably been the red barons so they won't know if it's right or wrong.



In my defence it's tiny it's only 75 mm long and a wing span of only 110 mm

Superb Ken.
