For the Old Country's Sake (2 Viewers)

[Jack]

For as long as history lasts the imagination of our people will strive to conjure up the
vision of those boys who...went out to Flanders, not as conscript
soldiers, but as volunteers, for the old country’s sake, to take their risks and ‘do their
bit’ in the world’s bloodiest war.

Very nice Jack, very original , I love it . Personally I would have put the plane on the dio with the tail section a bit more in the air to enhance the dramatic scene . But VERY WELL DONE

Guy,

Many thanks...I agree about the tail, but I have committed to learning one new thing each diorama. Thinking three dimensionally will be this lesson!

Very good Jack. What did you use for the ground base?

Paper clay, which is clay, but lighter and you can add to it if it cracks. Very easy to use for a beginner like me and it doesn't need firing but dries rock hard. I then used Tamiya mud and a bottle of fake water, with the addition of Britains barbed wire and some of Wayne's paddlepop duckboards.

You could put a Tiger in the mud!

Jack:

Splendid photos of WW1 diorama. Having a sky blue backdrop helps bring the scene to life as well.

I was thinking Jack, you do know real water comes out of a tap{sm4}.

Need to lie down now, that was too much thinking, and besides Russell Crowe about to kill the bad Emperor guy{sm4}
