Planning to make a forced perspective diorama? If so, looks like a great idea 🙂 following!

Finn
This looks really interesting - will follow

Lorraine Lin
Yes, my first time to try forced perspective diorama. I Also prepared two Akagi, 1:700 and 1:2000. Will try to finish by this weekend.

Thomas Kolb
This is really interesting and creative! And the models look absolutely beautiful too.

Spanjaard
really curious about the final results. beginning is very promising 🙂

gorby
Interesting idea. Beautiful work so far.

Neuling
Same as gorby ..........

Villiers de Vos
A very original pose. Very nice progress.

CaptGPF
Following too!

Vincent
This looks interesting!! Good luck🙂

Nicolas
Very nice.

Spanjaard
explosion looks amazing

Pietro De Angelis
Truly scenic!

Lorraine Lin
Thanks for everyone's encourage, my first forced perspective diorama project just completed.

Finn
Very cool, congrats!

Doubtingmango
Fun!

Bernhard Schrock
Great idea and perfect illusion! Very clever photo set🙂! Chapeau.

David H
Love your work , incredible perspective , thank you for sharing 😎

Spanjaard
amazing!!!!

Ben M
Wow, very creative! The results are amazing.

Duster_d
It looks cool! How much work has been invested in it! 👍

William Joel
Sky, you did a wonderful job. I have to agree, there is a lot of work put into this effort. Thanks for sharing.

Christoph Kunz
Now that is different. I have never seen something like this before. RESPECT!

Spanjaard
you could actually have all of this in a box, with a small window that would allow to see only the right perspective. a show stopper in any modelling event!

Lorraine Lin
Great idea! Thank you Spanjaard

CaptGPF
Definitely impressive! I don't know which is more impressive - the forced perspective, the insane painting of the small aircraft, the beautiful water and explosive effects, or the overall orchestration! This is definitely the "Neuling" of air and sea dioramas!

Nicolas
Absolutly phantastic job. I can only agree with CaptGPF.

Lorraine Lin
Thank you for everyone, Thank you for your kind words.

Mr James
Everything CaptGPF wrote

Ludvík Kružík
I still miss this small helicopter in my collection of flying machines used in Czechoslovakia. The time has come for me to rectify that. 😉

Villiers de Vos
I will follow along.

Ludvík Kružík
Welcome Villiers! 🙂

Greg Baker
Oh. I built a 1/72 version of the Mi-1M... This should be interesting.

Ludvík Kružík
Hello, Greg. I know there's a Mi-1M kit in 1/72nd scale. Unfortunately, only this and a rather old kit from Special Hobby exists in 1/48 scale. In addition, this kit is an older version of the Mi-1A, which is different from the upgraded version of the Mi-1M. It has a different nose shape, different cockpit glazing and other minor changes. And since I decided to build the upgraded version of the Mi-1M, I will not avoid modifications to the kit.
To give you a better idea of the extent of the modifications to the kit, I've included a picture with the differences between the Mi-1A and Mi-1M versions color coded.

Greg Baker
Oh, neat! I didn't realize there were so many changes between the versions. This is going to look great!

Ludvík Kružík
Greg, thank you for your support.
____________________
I started building the model by making new transparent parts.

Alec K
Taking a seat, this brings back memories of ABC magazine 😜👍

gorby
Nice work moulding the new transparent parts.

Greg Baker
Yeah. Nice work on the heat-n-smash moulding for the clear parts. That can be tricky to do.

Ludvík Kružík
@Alec K
I used to buy ABC magazine regularly as a kid and eagerly awaited each new issue 🙂. I assume your mention of ABC magazine refers to the occasional modeling tutorial section.

@gorby, @Greg Baker
It's not too difficult to make new transparent parts by stretching warmed transparent foil over a pre-made template. Preparing the template is the most work. Stretching the warmed foil onto the template is just a routine that anyone can do after a few attempts.

Alec K
Correct 🙂👍👍

Robert Podkoński
How have I missed this? Taking a seat for sure! 🙂

Ludvík Kružík
Hello, Robert! Good to see you here. You haven't missed much so far. Up to this point I've been more concerned with preparation than building the model.

Ludvík Kružík
I want to try to use the sandwich construction in the production of new glass parts for the coptics. So I made (using the same process as the transparent parts) parts out of white plastic sheeting. These parts will have holes cut out for the windows. The transparent part will then be inserted between these two parts. The white outer and inner parts will form the embossed framing of the transparent part.

Jennifer Franklin
That looks great (as per usual 😛)

Ludvík Kružík
Welcome, Jennifer, we're glad to have you on board and thank you for your goodwill. 🙂

Dominik Weitzer
"At the end of the day" it looks really nice and clean! well done!

Ingo F
Amazing work mate! 👍

Jakub Wiraszka
Thanks Ingo, I must admit it was a little challenge for me but I can't look on what Trumpy just threw into the box. Sadly but as always Trumpy became good base for huge amount of work...

Ingo F
Unfortunately that's true, but on the other hand it's good because you can do a lot on the model yourself. There's nothing interesting about a perfect model out of the box. I also have this model in my stash. I intend to convert it into the T-84-120 Yatagan (object 478N1).

Jakub Wiraszka
Ingo what I meant was rather huge amount of work with imperfections and a lot of mistakes in T-84 shapes that Trumpy did.... for instance T-80U from RPG also need some work but even if You will decide to make only out of the box model You'll will have quite nice result.
At the very beginning I tried to build T-84U obj.478DU-5 (Turkish tender if I'm not mistaken). Unfortunatelly, to few reference photos made to build DU-9 version. But anyway Yatagan is great idea as well, fingers crossed.

Ingo F
Unfortunately, this is almost always the case with Trumpy when it comes to quality and accuracy. In many cases, parts from other kits are recycled and the whole thing is sold as a new kit. Whether the kit is then really close to the real model is a different matter. Well, it will be interesting to see how the T-80U models from Amusing Hobby and Rye Field Model turn out. I wonder if they will also bring out the other versions of the T-80. I'm still considering whether to get it with or without the interior.

Jakub Wiraszka
I've seen some photos and it's clear that RFM will release the T-80UK right after the T-80U. But I have already seen some shortcomings, some details are not in scale, but overall I think this could be an example of a model with a good price-quality ratio. Anyway, I really like the rubber RPG parts...

Ingo F
I'm thinking about getting the interior version from Amusing. Assemble it and then i will draw the area that is visible with open hatches in 3D. I can then print this out if necessary and add it to the model. You don't need the complete interior, 95% of which will not be visible. That's what I intend to do with the T-72 and T-90 models from Amusing.

Jakub Wiraszka
That's great idea. With interior maybe someday🙂 recently I dont have time even to build without it....

MythialEn
If you don't mind, could you list some of the inaccuracy about this kit? I also wants to build this kit with accuracy but not sure where to start.

Cortex
Wow, extreme detailing. Excited for this build!

Jakub Wiraszka
MythialEn
modelwork.pl/topic/5..-9-trumpeterscratch/ here You can find full build with details it ia in polish but I think you can easily translate this to english. It is better to follow the thread in forum than listing all corrections and changes, simply there are to many of them. I hope it will help You

Jakub Wiraszka
thanks Cortex, I don't know when i'll finish. Simply dont have enough time... nevertheles the time sooner than later will come 🙂

Michael Kohl
Fantastic multimedia show. Almost too beautiful to put color on.

Neuling
🙂

Dominik Weitzer
what a lot of changes - it looks so good unpainted 🙂 . great work!

Patrick Hagelstein
Interesting marking choices on this one. Let's see what it turns into. 👍

Maciej T.
Very unusual 🙂 In my country - Poland - a messerschmitt with a red and white checkerboard is almost "impudence" 😄

Patrick Hagelstein
I had a little go at this exact scheme myself:
WIP Bf109-G10 Croatia | Album by Hagel (1:72)
I'm waiting for the 1/72 Eduard G-14/AS to do it again as I like the way this bird was overpainted and weathered.

Guy Rump
Looking good 👍

Mr D
Like what you have done 👍👍 really nice cockpit details... Can't beat a 109.
Like the pre-shading..shows well.
I'm yet to try the pre-shading technique? Bit concerned l won't keep a straight line with the black paint n airbrush!!
Nice work 👌

Maciej T.
#Mr D - Thank you 🙂
But this is not done with classic preshading - first I paint the whole thing black, then marble (with white paint + some slightly contrasting to the base colors) in individual panels and on top of all this base colors with heavily thinned paint żrbyby not to cover this "grid" 🙂

Mr D
Thanks, for feedback...good to try and learn techniques 😀.👍👍

Martin Oostrom
There is no messing up. Only learning opportunities

Kesa Tiho
Wise words

John Hughes
Martin is right. The best thing to do is learn by jumping in and building a kit. Don't expect your early efforts to be brilliant. But, every time you finish one, take a good look at what you could do better on the next one. (I wouldn't worry too much about things like weathering on early builds. You can always add that later on).

gorby
Scalemates is great, the problem is seeing the model your building being built by someone who is better at modelling than you….and there is always someone better. Without the internet as a kid we just built models for fun and all my mates were as crap at modelling as I was so I never knew it was possible to produce anything better. It was great.
Some of the modellers you see on here may have 40 or more years of modelling experience. If you compare your model to theirs you'll never be satisfied with what you produce. If you want to end up as good as some of the people on here you need to start simply and learn stage by stage as you go. The most important thing you need to remember now is to relax and just enjoy yourself, it isn't a competition it's supposed to be fun – particularly when you're young

István Szücs
Interesting project!

J35J
I'm in for the flash flesta 😅👍🏻

Robert Podkoński
Make yourself comfortable, István and J35J. This will be surely a long party... 😉

István Szücs
Robert, almost you'd build an A-Model kit

Robert Podkoński
Believe me, István, A-model kits are much more modeller-friendly than Mach 2... Take a look here, for example: modelingmadness.com/..korean/us/hammx2.htm

Ben M
Another member of the non-aligned movement.

Marko
That's something to be excited about. Mach2 kits don't have the reputation of being shaking kits. 👍

Martin
As I said on the project, I wish you luck with this, it is something you seldom see, but it looks cool in the end. It is quite a long time ago when I did mine - al the best!

and, so far it does not look that bad for a mach2

S M
Gotta see this! 😄

John Hughes
This looks very Gerry Anderson, so I'm in!

Robert Podkoński
What an audience I have... I feel a bit under pressure now 😉 @Martin - you're right, at least the polistyrene seems to be of a good quality.

Guy Rump
I'm watching as well Robert 🙂 👍

Ekki
And me.

Robert Podkoński
Feel warmly welcomed, Mates!

Mid Franconian
Extra like for the striking project title 😂! I expected an old KP kit first…

Bruce Huxtable
Soo many seams.... Watching this tutorial for sure 😉. OMG, Robert, that's quite a critique of MACH, kits.... Good Luck!

Ben M
It's such a cool subject, I remember seeing it in my dads airplane books when I was young.

Ludvík Kružík
Robert, once again you have chosen a great topic. The French experimental jet powered Leduc aircraft looked really futuristic at the time of its creation.
I wish you strong nerves and a lot of fun building your model!

Robert Podkoński
Now I feel even more pressure 😉 ... @Bruce - I know what I am talking about, I have completed a few models from both producers already 😉 @Ludvik - I was lucky enough to see both Leduc 010 and 022 in Le Bourget museum and they still look futuristic imho 🙂

Palo M
Grabbing a sear

Robert Podkoński
Welcome, Palo!

Ludvík Kružík
He certainly wouldn't be a disgrace as a space fighter in Star Wars. 😄

The photos of the kit parts show that you really have a lot of work ahead of you.

John Hughes
Not Star Wars, more Flash Gordon by the looks of those sprues!

Neil
Hi Robert, Haha! 'da Putty Party'... Love it!... Following with great interest 🙂

Robert Podkoński
Feel welcomed to the party, Neil - every party needs a DJ 😄

Neil
Thanks Robert. I'm there mate! 🎧🤘🎶

Ben M
Those parts look gloriously terrible

Robert Podkoński
Still, the plastic is workable, Ben. As far as I have checked: it can be filed, filled, and glued... So, there is hope... 😄

Ben M
I looked in the stash and I have a mach2 kit I bought when I was young and foolish.

Robert Podkoński
I have five, not counting this one... Hmm...the testimony of what kind of mental disease it is? Nothwithstanding, only Mach 2 offered models of some exotic planes, like X-24.

gorby
I wish you luck Robert. Your going to need it (and probably a stiff drink or four). 😉
Was the kit mould made from soap? 😄

Robert Podkoński
Thanks for your encouraging words, Gorby! ... It seems probable, taking into account that in some Mach 2 kits the material itself is "soapy"... 😄

Alex K
A French prototype and a Mach 2 kit? Can't miss that... I see I'm late but a seat way back in the gallery must be still available...

Jennifer Franklin
I am taking a seat in the gallery myself.

John Hughes
Jennifer? We thought you were missing in action!

M0rce
Looks interesting 🤔

Robert Podkoński
Feel warmly welcomed, Alex, Jennifer and M0rce! I am glad to have you all aboard. @Alex - I have started this album yesterday, so you're not late 🙂

Greg Baker
I'm in!

Nicolas
I'll take a seat.

Robert Podkoński
Welcome, My Friends!... I was not prepared for such an audience 🙂

Greg Baker
Don't worry, Robert. We brought our own snacks!

Robert Podkoński
Good for you 😄

Gary Victory
That's nasty....! Good luck with your build. Robert. Take your time and enjoy it.

Roland Sachsenhofer
You are a brave man! I will definitely be watching this with great interest - great!

Robert Podkoński
It is great to have you both aboard, Gary and Roland!
