Holy Smokes the weathering on the details is so brilliantly done and wonderfully realistic. Some mighty fine work 🏆

[Kirk]

Wow.

Disaster. I had finished the toolbox and after applying a thin coat of gloss for decals and using Solvaset on the decals the paint cracked and peeled off, this has never happened before. I used Vallejo paints and Solvaset together before and never had that kind of reaction.
the toolbox was ruined. 
I really want to have a toolbox in the dio so I made a new one.

Looking mighty good. The toolchest details look spot on. 👍

Small update.

Red painted and purple wash on the toolbox. I started in the various pieces for inside the box , I also made a small drill. Here's how it looks so far. A lot more do do on it. Made another bucket in alu this time.

You knock me out - absolutely brilliant weathering - used but not abused. 

[shark64]

Made a new drill. Started gluing stuff together.

Not sure whether to be inspired or burn all my styrene. This is all just amazingly good. At 1:16 it would be impressive. 1:32??

Will go with the inspiration for now, and save sending the neighbourhood up in smoke for another day.

Edit: I suppose I could argue that the hammer handle is a bit too light at the end, but it really is a bit of a gratuitous dig. Better than any hammer I've ever made...

Beautiful work on the toolbox - well worth all the effort and work.

Still awestruck! The details and skillful painting and weathering make

the equipment look so realistic! This is beyond model making

it's art!

[Martinnfb]

That's wild.  

[shark64]

Got the figures today. Here's how it looks so far. 

[Kirk]

I see that the quality of this has literally blown the figures' minds...

[Peterpools]

Oliver

Looking so good and the figures seem to be the equal and a nice compliment to your work. 

 

[shark64]

Here are  the final pieces for the dio.

Keeping it simple: looking mighty good as always. Just a pleasure to follow your progress.

Is there an Academy Awards category for "Best Diorama Involving an H.34"?

Made an airbase sign, I used Dave's Decals to create the sign.

i may add chain link fence...still debating on it. I am waiting for the wood base to arrive and I am stuck till it arrives. 
I got a 3d printed toolbox with the figures so I painted that too.
