How I build large scale dioramas! (1 Viewer)

On to the upper wing!
I haven't got around to weathering the cockpit yet but I think I will set this aside for now and build the upper wing assembly as it is really the base for the rest of this upside down piece to be built upon.
The upper wing is built all in one piece and I will leave it intact except for the odd ding here and there.The fabric will be mostly flash burned off so I will have to build all of the internal structure including the drag and anti-drag wires.

That's a good idea, I'm going to try it.

Up till now, I've used washes over flat flesh base. In 1/48th or 1/72nd, for example, that fits the bill nicely. But for models at 1/35th or 1/32nd, or larger, the eye sees more.

I've been playing around with chalk pastels for weathering, and like the result. Thanks for the tip to use it on faces!

Prost!

Flashover burn charring on the lower wing.After I get the wings completed and on the aircraft I will pick out a few spots where some wood will receive even greater damage and maybe even a grass stain or two on the surviving fabric near the wingtip.
On a personal note I want to congratulate America as a beacon of hope in this troubled world.Cheers! John.
