FME erk Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Been asked to show my large scale Nissen hut that will serve as a backdrop for my up-coming Lancaster diorama . . . A simple 6" plastic pipe cut to the appropriate size, some embossed timber on plasti-card and some square micro-strip. Hopefully the photos are self-explanatory and the finished result rgds Ian 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaireckstadt Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 That looks stunning Ian. Didn’t know so far that these huts were called Nissen-Huts (Name of the invented?)! Nice touch with the figure in front and the smoke on the chimney! How many square-feet will your diorama have and how many Lancs will you put on it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FME erk Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 The Nissen hut was designed by a South African engineer from his mining days, Col. Nissen, prior to WWI The size that I shall base my diorama on will be on an 8ft x 4ft board and it will only hold One 32nd HK Lancaster . . . There will be some support vehicles & ground equipment as well (yet to build the battery starter cart from IconicAir). 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
