B-17 Going Down in Flames
Not really flames. The pilots have had time to fire the extinguishers. Or something.
So, I just finished up FG's B-17 and 163 and thought they would make a nice diorama of sorts as they hung from my ceiling, so down came the 'Fortress and I added a nice little something. I'm rather proud of how it turned out, especially in 1:60 Not sure if you can see them, but there are some (close to) scale 20mm holes in the wing, nacelle, and tail. Constructive criticism always welcome! Yes, I built it without the top turret. I'm not sure why, but I have just never liked the look of it. |

Cheeky bugger. Thanks! If anyone's interested I can go into how I did it; it was a pain in the butt until I found a solid technique. |

No wonder they got shot down, they're missing all their top defensive armament. Any reason why? These pictures remind me of building and hanging some for my kids many years ago. I had made a carrier "bookcase" in 1.144th scale and was building Gulf War jets in the same scale to populate the deck. My oldest wanted to hang some over the carrier which resolved into an enemy shoot-down. I had a Hornet firing a missle at a MiG-23. I put the MiG about 40 feet away, in another room, to represent the correct scale distance for a Sidewinder shot. I thought it was a cool effect; the kids never got it.
Very neat diorama and the trailing smoke is a nice effect! |

Looks great and nice smoke effect. Has any one mentioned you are missing the top turrent? HAHAHA
Try using 6 lb fishing line to hang planes with, it is strong and when taking pictures it is hard to see. Other than that, damn good job. |
