Yep, awesome!😮
Even the poor pilot is still stuck in it...
Are you going to add some black trails on the snow like in the pic?

Really nice idea!
And I agree with Rene - some trails and more "dirt" effects to make the crash site more visiable, would be a great idea.

The pilot put up a good fight but . . alas, he just wasn't destined to make it. 🙂 Good idea on the dirt, I didn't think of that at the time. Maybe I will go back and revisit this one and do that. Thanks for the idea.

Sometimes you lose, sometimes the others win...😉
It already looks awesome. I just think some soot or kicked up dirt would add a nice touch.
Pretty ballsy diorama btw. I don't think I would have pulled that off! Kudos!

Was my first time ever trying a diorama . . . . so I see things I could have done better. I think I would have liked to have tried something different for the snow. Up close, I find it just a bit too "grainy".
Will have to pull it out . . . see if I can grab a shot of our poor pilots. 🙂
Album info
Inspired by a picture promoting the new star wars battlefront game, I wanted to recreate the scene using the new Bandai Snowspeeder.
I used expanding foam, then, while it was curing, took the snowspeeder (wrapped in plastic wrap), and dragged it through creating the scar in the snow. Then covered it all with spackle. Carved out my spot further where the snowspeeder would come to rest. I had a lot of fun cracking the cockpit glass. Using a scribing tool, I carved in the spiderweb crack in the front, and in a few other panels . . then just took the side cutters and chunked away some glass and let nature run it’s course. Inside the cockpit, the pilots needed to be re-positioned. So had to chop their arms off. Then re-positioned them to have them slumped over . . and even gave one a broken arm and let it hang down.
After that came the scary part. Permanently sinking that snowspeeder in, and spackling it into the scene.
After that dried (and cracks filled with silicone glue) . . . . I tried out some Woodland Sc
