I am a physical anthropologist, which basically means I work with human skeletal remains. From time to time I do forensic anthropology. For both of my fields, I need to know a lot about what happens to a body from "the moment life has left it".

Great stuff.
I prefer odd stuff like this over another immaculate plane/tank/etc parked somewhere.

As for the corpse same comments as I would make have arleady been made, skull and bloated body look odd next to the overgrown Plane.

Nice DIO!!

To add furthur on the comments concerning the condition of your pilot...

Typically, a human body, under ideal conditions, will decompose in as little as two weeks. The bloating phase of decomp will only last a few days after death, as bodily gasses accumulate within the body cavity. As decomp progresses, those gasses escape, usually aided by carnivores and scavengers that poke holes in the body.

Judging by the condition of the plane, your pilot has been out so long that there should be no bloat. Because he has on a flight suit, there may still be some soft tissue and skin, but for the most part, decomp should be pretty advanced.

But you know what, its your diorama, so if you like how the dead pilot looks, screw it, leave him as is!

Keep up the great work.

Boyd

Haven't seen House of a Thousand Corpses yet. I will admit the Cop waking up in the hospital in the comic does remind me of the final scene of the Resident Evil movie and the game was too cool. "28 Days" also began in similar fasion but i hated that movie. Deakon you must see "Heavy Metal" i'm certain it will inspire even more horrific dioramas! Man you kick butt dude.

Deakon, that really is an awesome diorama! Cool [8D] I still visualize a picture of his wife or sweetheart somewhere.
MartianGundamModeler, Zombie movies are the coolest! I can't get enough of zombie flixs and horror movies in general. Have you seen "House of a Thousand Corpses"? It does bring to mind story from "Heavy Metal"! The comic you are talking about sounds alot like "Resident Evil" the game.

I'm a "Night of the Living Dead" fan as well. But anyway AWSOME build! It reminds me of the scene in Heavy Metal when the pilot lands on a deserted island full of crashed war planes which sill had corpes at the controls. thepilots later came to life and...well you get the idea. Creepy stuff. Off topic but there is a new comic out called Walking Dead about a cop who just woke up in a hospital from an injury to find the city abandoned and full of zombies. Heads for Atlanta, Ga in search of his family. that's issue #1. Can't wait for #2. Finally a good comic about cops.lol

I'm with J-Hulk on this one. From your excellent weathering job, it looks like your FW has been down for about 9 months to a year. By that stage, your pilot would be noticably thinner. A while back, I helped recover a guy out of the woods after about that long. For some reason, the scavengers had pretty much left him alone and he was mainly a leather-covered skeleton. His clothes were weathered but still intact and they just hung, kind of over-sized looking, on him. If he's laying in the swamp for that long, the bugs and crustaceans will probably have him picked pretty clean. I like Renarts' anecdote and the the idea of him still strapped in, head slumped forward. Good luck adding the raven; it's a nice touch.

Airborne-All the way!

Every gory detail meticulously recreated!
Very clever (if not totally disgusting!), but are you going to add the unforgettable stench of death to the diorama as well?

Yikes! Perhaps that would be taking it a bit too far!

thanks for all your comments guys i appreciate them..J.H you hit the nail on't head old bean..the vermin/crows have made dinner of his head,.....i tried to puff out the body of the pilot to represent bloating, ..[yeuch], and you spotted it...[i thought maybe i was being to clever.].. it shouldn't be as obvious once the water/resin has been poured,
REGARDS....D.....

Great work, Deakon!
Powerful impact. War ain't all puppies on Stug. IIIs and wine for the Greyhounds, that's for sure!

One observation: I know flight suits are pretty thick affairs, but the pilot seems a tad robust for a skeleton!
I suppose the rats could only get to his face...

That is a great job, excellent job on weathering the 190. One question though, I'm passing through from the armor forum. And I was wondering how that Tiger1 in the first photo is comeing along.
