A-10 diorama

Big Sammy,
I can't seem to view the pics from the website. I would love to see the final results because I was deployed to Al Jaber back in 2002 for Southern Watch and Enduring Freedom as a maintenance officer. I was with an A-10 unit out of Davis Monthan in Arizona. If you can, e-mail them to me, I can let you know anymore you might like about the location (as long as it is not classified). Love the A-10 and hope to go back to it someday.

Sorry to not get back to you sooner on the AMT question. I've been out of town and out of touch!!!! Yes, I think it was....I'll have to check at home......I'll let you know tomorrow.
Thanks for the input!!!

Wowshe is a beeeeut very awesome theme. Is that the AMT kit?

Thanks for the input and questions. I used "rice" bulbs I bought from my local model store. I soldered wires to extend them to a jack which I bought from Radio Shack, and had inserted it into the base. I used a transformer from a telephone I bought at at garage sale (free!!) The light boxes are made of painted paper, with the lens made out of the clear plastic insert from a chocolate chip cookie bag (Chips Ahoy!) The light standards are made of painted straws! The scratchbuilding was really fun and I learned a lot!!! Thanks again.

Yes, very nice! Looks very realistic!

Good job. Althought the details of the A-10 are less visible the "night" effect is very good. Overall...a great job.

Very cool. The night time effect is great.

damn, thats good *standing ovation* i like the little night theme, i was planni on doin that before, but didnt kno what to do w/ what, howd u do it? thanks

The chain link fence is screen off of one of the windows in my house (my wife doesn't know yet!!). It is glued onto sprue, and the coil wire (which I'm not really happy with) is from a coiled notebook. Thanks for the input!

Here's a pic of my latest...an RCAF F-18 in Tiger Meet paint scheme!!

Wow, very nice results.
What did you use for the chain-link fance?

I think they are good,because are so little,it´s a pitty.

Here is a couple of the pictures of the signs which hang on the outsides of the fence...

Yes, that's right.....1/48 scale. I researched online and believe that the A-10 was used at the base I tried to depict (Al Jabbar) in Kuwait for Operation Southern Watch. Now, as I research more, I'm not sure the cammo was correct, but I was trying to make a desert diorama first, authenticity second!!
Thanks for the comment!!!!

Looks Great. I like the lighting! 1/48 scale right?
