kkarlsen Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 Hello Guys. Wohoo! The finished Lanc diorama was awarded 1. prize in the diorama category on Sunday, at this years AROS open scale modelling contest. This one started out as nothing more than some testing and practicing on the Lanc surfaces almost tree years ago, when I heard about the upcoming kit in 1/32 scale from HK Models. I'm really happy that I was able to finish this, for the year of RAF's 100th birthday. Thanks for looking: Cheers: Kent 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Hi Kent, this is an exceptional piece of art you made. Everything from the figures, the paintjob, the setting even the size of the base is perfect. I guess you should have become a movie director, because your work always looks like a snapshot taken from a movie and that is a very special talent, Chapeau. Cheers Rob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzaS Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Dude! that is the absolute/bar-none/most amazing stressed metal finish I have ever seen on a model. I've looked at a lot of 'tutorials' for the stressed/tin canning look, and not one looks as realistic as yours. Motivating as hell! Gaz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FME erk Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I'm new here and just checking around the forum . . . Superb work on the Lancaster Kent and I am intrigued with the foil covering. I shall have to look in to that process More over, where do the aircrew figures come from and what plans have you for the bomb trolley as I too would like to build some for my Lancaster. I am also trying to create a diorama for my Lancaster and these item are included . . . . My scratched engine trestle's and scratch Bedford OXD Thanks for sharing Kent David 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FME erk Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Can I bump this as a call to Kent as I would like details of his bomb trolleys ?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkarlsen Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 Sorry but I haven't got any photos of the build. Guess I was in a hurry to finish up the diorama... The frame is made from styrene sheet/profiles. For the wheels I made a master, a silicone mold and then they were cast in resin...

Jackster Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 A superb stressed effect looks fantastic, the diorama also looks excellent. Cheers Kev 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Projman56 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Crikey- just hooked into this- yeah I know well after the fact but, was looking into getting the Tamiya 1:48 Lanc (after refinishing my 20 yo airfix 1:72 version, and having a play with a current Revell 1:72 version - ive fallen in love with the Lanc!) Unfortunately, I read some average reviews on the Tamiya- then I saw this! Your commitment and skill in fitting the aluminium skin is commendable and the finish is so realistic!! Im so envious! It goes to show that its not the quality of the model that counts, but the quality of the modeller- I salute you sir! Id love to have to have a go, but fear my effort would look like a roll of used tinfoil... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
