Hi, I am new to FSM forums and this is my first post. Photos and links seem a bit complicated, so this might take a few fumbles.
I would like to share a fairly unique 1/144 scratchbuilding and diorama project that I hurriedly completed for a temporary exhibit. My modeling results were of mixed quality, but the overall effect turned out well. I think other modelers might be interested in trying something like this and taking it further, perhaps with better details, other scales, and other aircraft.
I got some ideas from FSM scratchbuilding forum thread "A deployed parachute" that ended incomplete in 2011.
I have plenty of photos I could post, but all are also in two YouTube videos I just made. The first is 12 min of photos and parachute science:
D-Day Parachute Drop Diorama

The second is 20 min of construction details:

I am sure that FSM forum discussion will be more focussed and interesting than YouTube comments, so I would like to hear from you. Thanks!
