Ongoing B-24 Diorama

MattMcK. · Mar 19, 2022

I’m up to thirty figures and have only one other to add. I’m going to take a break for today, and begin the process of refining them tomorrow. Then it will be a massive paint-a-thon.

Love the interaction between them all

Can't beat a " paint a thon "

Enjoy the day off

The (almost) full cast.

Hi Matt,
Truely inspirational and real dedication from concept to now.

Until you actually attempt something like this on this scale, you will never get a true appreciation of what actually goes in.

Stick at it Matt and remember when things don't go to plan, it could have always been worse.....it could have been 1/24 scale

.
cheers

The very thought of 1/24 makes me want to pass out

Base flesh, highlight, and shadow airbrushed, with just a little dark shading reinforced by brush. Still have the blush, lips, eyes, five o'clock shadow, etc, to add. Luckily there are quite a few squinty eyes, so there will be some that will squeak through with just a dark slit. Hopefully I can get the faces and hair completely done over the weekend.

Excellent progress, great line-up, too. I thought I had a lot of figures, not a chance. That's a herd of figures, lol. Ruck On, Matt!

MattMcK. · Apr 16, 2022

With luck I’ll finish the officers and aircrew tomorrow, then a dozen more figures of ground crew and fire fighters to go.

Excellent work, reminds me of a dio made containing a Mossie and a Spit on the pan together with figures and equipment.

That's one heck of a production line you have there Matt.
I admire your patience and dedication.
It's going to be one heck of a diorama.
I look forward to seeing them all appear in the main scene.

Cheers,
Andrew
