The whole scene looks so convincingly dynamic, that your varnish problem goes unnoticed.
Love it ! 👍

Another nice project, as Hanno said, very dynamic 👍
Have done the same model in same livre, but mine was not crashed (the wooden propeller is too valuable for that 😉
BTW: you should link your albums to projects (and the kits). Then your nice models are also visible on the kit page.

@Robert Podkoński thanks a lot
@Hanno Kleinecke thanks for the compliments. It took me 3 years as well to think up the way to suspend the aircraft in such a way that it is not exactly visible how and where it is attached to the base. I really dislike transparent sticks. I think the fact that I succeeded in that is what helps to reinforce the dynamics of the scene
@bughunter the fun bit is that what I used is the kit propellor. At that time I did not even know of scale wooden props. But even then I prefer to make wood out of styrene. It is really easy to make plastic look like wood.
I'm only on here for 2 days so far and I have not yet found out how to do that and so far I understood that was for projects you are working on currently. And so far I only posted finished projects. Can you retro actively link projects to those?

You can link projects and albums at any time 🙂
I have never seen a dio like this one. I would have thought that it was impossible to make such a dramatic impression of action. My respect and admiration. It is simply stunning

Great again. I think I will have to steal an idea or two from you for further projects of mine. 🙂

your mastery of the glue, to get all those pieces in the right spot, and not traces of glue visible, is also simply stunning.
Album info
1:48 diorama of Leutnant Heinrich Dembowski crashing through a gate.
On 17 and 18 November 1918 12 pilots landed in Switzerland to prevent their aircraft of falling into the hands of the Allies. On one of those days Dembowski overshot the runway. Broke through a fence and nosed the aircraft over in the field behind it
The aircraft is Eduards 1:48 Siemens Schuckert D.III. the pilot was scratchbuilt as was the groundwork and the splintering fence. The whole splintering fence is an optical illusion that took me about 3 years to think up and develop.
The paint finish on the fuselage is not the best. The satin varnish acted up weird and I couldn't fix it anymore without the fear of demolishing the aircraft. It was one of the first biplanes I did and that mistake learnt me a lot for the aircraft to come. Despite the varnish the idea was too good to bin so I continued.
Painting done with tamiya acrylic, humbrol enamel, oilpaints
