That home made corrugated aluminium looks amazing.
About duplicating parts, I have just started to use blue staff to make reusable moulds, works like a charm

I have been so happy to see her re-released. And I bought her at once, of course 😉 I will watch your build report with utmost interest and pleasure!

Spanjaard: I used 2 component silicone for the moulds (Feroca Silastic 3483) and a resin from Smooth On (Smooth-Cast 300) that I found at a FX store nearby. They're not cheap, but the result turned out great!

Not my scale, but nice build 👍
Soldering is a very important technique for me (as I soldered the Eduard Stripdown kit 😉 ). If possible fix the parts somehow, so that the can't move during the cool down phase. The rest is training and timing.
The aluminium embossing technique is great!

Thank you, Michael, Alec and Bughunter!
Bughunter: yes, I found fixing the pieces to be very tricky, given the small diameter of the wire used. For my trials I managed to get a decent result somehow with balsa wood "bed" (I cut out a hole under the welding point to let the tin flow) masking tape and blue tac. Main issue for me by now is getting used to the behaviour of the tin, sometimes it flows ok, but not always. So still a long way to go! I really appreciate your advice btw.

Thanks, guys. Doing my best here, it's my first 1/144. I'll also replace the kit's wing struts with wooden ones following Bughunter's path. Since they're really big on the real thing I think it can be done in this scale. Got one done already and it looks great, I just wish there were not so many.

Ben: OK, I see your point. Somehow I don't feel bad about those 30's travellers who could afford the tickets, but I do about companies trying to squeeze as many people as possible on modern planes.

I understand that very well, David. Due to my work obligations and the somewhat erratic nature of my profession, my projects also take many years to complete. Anyway, my fingers are crossed that your new job stabilizes and you can get back to your modeling projects. I'd really like to see them finished. I believe that extraordinary models could emerge.
Good luck!

Thanks a lot, mates, for the kind likes! - George, I don´t want to hurt your - nor anyone else´s - feelings when posting my war dioramas. I always try to show a realistic scene with a historical background, a little bit of fiction based on facts. I always avoid showing cruelty or death. Here you can see two Iraqi soldiers going into captivity, one of them showing an allied leaflet promising humane treatment. Everything depicted in this album is in accordance with international law, as was the campaign "Desert Storm" as a whole. Iraq had invaded Kuwait and was pushed out in the end, there was a mandate for the campaign from the UN security council. Of course the world would be a better one without aggression and war, without killing, wounding people or taking prisoners of war.

Speaking as a Desert Storm veteran, Neuling got this scenario correct. Iraq soldiers were surrendering on mass, there were groups of dozens tens of dozens would surrender to a single helicopter. We did drop millions of the leaflets depicted here. It was all very humane as of this time Iraqi soldiers were unmotivated as Iraq had fought a war with Iran for 8 years. By comparison to the 2003 war (which I also served in) Desert Storm was the closest thing to a conventional war we fought. In my experience the post 9/11 wars were far more horrific Our friend Neuling is simply a very very skilled artist at bringing history books in 3D. So George Williams, sadly, yes humans do treat each other's this way and sadly it has and will be the case for all of human existence. Remember too, politicians start wars from behind desks and soldiers are the tip of the spear.. But believe me when I say, there is far far worse ways I've seen men treat other men, and here is a very subtle way of depicting a time in history. 👍

George, your comment, "Do we really treat fellow human beings like this?" The answer is yes, and these guys getting rolled up as POWs are getting off light. The air war prior to the start of the Desert Storm ground war was pretty brutal. Imagine being under B-52 strikes for who knows how long with only your toenails to eat. When the Coalition forces rolled in, they were ready to call it a day.

Thanks for the comments lads!
@Miguel - the water is mainly epoxy resin tinted with light transparent blue, let that set and then built up the waves using AK water effects which isn't fully clear when it cures, then finished off using AK water foam effects for the white foam. Along the way I used an airbrush to create the natural shapes of the waves & foam and a damp piece of foam for the bubbles.

I would have bent the propeller more -- unless it landed gear down, slid across the sand and then sunk into the sand. What is your scenario for this scene, Ludwig?
EDIT: nevermind, it matches the historical photo. I wonder how it happened?

Thanks everyone!
@Snake - it is in fact based on historical references, bases on what I read the pilot decided to land on shore/close to shore rather than the sea on the way to Malta. I assume it was a controlled deadstick landing hence why the prop is not bent. Another theory is that he landed in the water and aircraft got washed back towards the beach.
Anyway have a few reference photos here if interested
