I like it. (I'm also a big fan of Night of the Living Dead too). I saw something similar to this years ago(1975-76), only it was a Japanese plane in the jungle and the pilot was in the cockpit. The guy that built it used a skeleton from an old (Disney)Pirates of the Caribbean kit and had him still clutching the stick and slumped over. I remember being amazed at the amount of detail (and this was before the resin or brass detail add on stuff). I was also sort of amazed recently that more of this type of subject matter doesn't show up more often. You've done an excellent job and the details are great. Also very imaginative. thanks for sharing.

Looks great! I've got similair moss growing on nooks and crannies on my Land Rover's soft-top..

The pilot looks decidedly uncomfortable..

Great job, Deakon!! I had a similar idea after watching the scene in 'Romancing the Stone' where they come across the downed drug transport with the two skeletal pilots in the cockpit. (Could never figure out what kind of plane it was.)
Be sure to post more pics when it's finished!

Interesting, if not a little morbid. That's ok, I like morbid.

Great job!

hi all here are a few more pics of my butchered bird diorama..
i still have to pour the resin. to complete the marshy/boggy effect.
i scratchbuilt the pilot using legs from a tamiya officers legs.and the arms from a dragon figure..the body and skull were made from milliput.
the wooly jumper and flying jacket are made from cigarrette paper..
the weeds and reeds are human hair and old housepainting brush bristles..the duckweed on the 190 is ground up sawdust...the gunsight is scratchbuilt..[thanks to B.W for pics]..i am trying to sculpt a raven from milliput. to sit on the canopy..but i'm not having much luck so far..anyways enjoy the pics..
REGARDS...D....
