                        Mahoney,

                        Thanks for the comment!

                        The photobase is made from three pieces of plywood with model railroad grass glued on top of that, my airplane hangers are scratchbuilt using a balsa wood framework with plastic sheeting used for the walls, doors, and roof.
                        The backdrop scenery is airbrushed onto white poster board.

                        Here is more pics...

                        Outstanding work. The realism is incredible. A couple questions, how large is the diorama and what are some of the materials you've used.

                        thanks,

                        mahoney

                        Thanks duckman, TigerII, and subfixer!

                        duckman,
                        This next weekend I will do a ''high altitude'' pic from above the airfield, watch the forum for my next group of pictures.

                        Here is another pic from last Sunday...

                        I like the nostalgic looking pic of the Folk Wulf. It really makes you feel like you're at the airfield and you took a pic of the plane. Nice work on both planes MatrixoneThumbs Up [tup]Thumbs Up [tup]

                        Thad, tweety1, John, and Pedro, thanks for the kind words!

                        I will build a few more aircraft models and then start some improvements to the airfield, I have a few ideas I will be trying out as far as the photography is concerned.

                        Love the landing light theme.
                        Nice to see something a little different.

                        Thanks ERAD and Dan!

                        That Fw 190 D was a bit of a struggle to make(an Ex-Dragon mold) but it turned alright, I am glad I did not give up on it.

                        Two more pics from today...

                        Here are a couple of pics of my new models I just finished.

                        This first pic is of a pilot and ground crew looking at a bullet hole in a Fw 190F propeller blade...


                        This second pic is of a Do 335 nightfighter that made it back to base safely but forgot to turn off his landing light!
