Great diorama :)

Arr, the smell of butyl acetate, cyanoacrylate, benzene, toluene, xylene, ethyl acetate, acetone and turpentine are what memories are made of. Work colleagues can be inconsiderate illegitimates at the best of times. The anticipation was worth the wait, brilliant!! "cùm iad a’ tighinn"

Its the new Bob Ross! its ok I am fluent in utter Bo**o**s to lol

nicely done! that dornier isn't going to get away!

Just watched this again, funny couldn’t remember about 25% of it (old age creeping up), nice work though and useful instruction. Love the anticipation of what’s coming next. "cùm iad a’ tighinn"

Nice work! It's going to look great when it all goes together.

nice dio! it may surprise you to know that at the duxford air museum they have a similar diorama to yours, but its a genuine 109 that crash landed here during the battle of Britain, and the display is made to look like a photograph of it in a field, taken a few hours after it crashed!

Please tell me what you search on to buy these Amazon wooden bases. I have this kit and am planning to build it as a diorama. I intend to use scatter material to enhance the base and pierced steel planking

great build but i have 1 question, do you use any primer cause it helps to let the paint stick to the model so you have a better result

Genius! The Do17 has no chance with a couple of Spits on its tail. You’ve done a fantastic job with these 1/72 kits, great imagination!

Great build, love the spinning props. I’m going through a phase of building aircraft in-flight & will now be adding the Do17 to the list. Thanks for the inspiration!

Blinky blinky guns and spinney spinney propellers, well done sir, is there no end to your imagination and all in a duo of Spitfires. Another very entertaining video, brilliant "cùm iad a’ tighinn".

The flashing LED for the guns is a stroke of brilliance! I've never seen this on any other models.

🤔We await its replacement 😊

Aye

Yes.

I like your micrometer! A nice big display for us oldies. I agree with you about the markings needing a bit of dulling down- I've started doing this recently and it works very well. I'm sorry the Hurricane had a bit of a prang- is there any way to rescue the spinning prop?

What happened I was gayly watching Papa Smurf building a Hurricane with extra spinney spinney things, when it all changed, a ham-fisted sod took over. Joking aside really felt for you, after time and effort to drop it! Still it remains a very good build of a Hurricane, “Per ardua ad astra”. Another very entertaining video, brilliant "cùm iad a’ tighinn".

That's a better kit than the one I built as a lad, there's much more detail. I like the way you added the support. I'm old school- I call them transfers!

If they are waterslide or pressfix they're transfers: if they're self adhesive they are decals or stickers. Others may disagree but, of course, they are wrong 😀. Best wishes.

Nice work on the Airfix Dornier. Great paint job too! Is there going to be a couple of 111 Squadron Hurricanes attacking the Dornier? If I remember rightly, Rudolf Lamberty's Do 17Z was attacked by Sgts Dymond and Brown of 111 Squadron. They also took a Bofors round through the wing which ignited the fuel tank. The low level raid on Kenley by 9/KG 76 on the 18th August has always interested me. Alfred Price's book about that day is well worth a read. My copy is signed by Gunther Unger, one of the other Do 17 pilots on the raid that day. He ended up ditching in the channel on the way back and only just managed to escape the aircraft when it was already submerged. Looking forward to the rest of your diorama!

And a Happy New year to you sir. I cannot remember having built the Dornier, must rectify this oversite 🤔. I am in the transfer camp, as you transfer them from the backing card to the model, and as fake/imitation tattoos and model transfers are made from the same materials and imitation tattoos are called transfers, you also apply them in the same way, so stands to reason they are transfers, you don’t decal your body. Just out of interest what is the wire you use; I presume it has some form of shellac coating. Again never heard of or tried the old RYO paper for masking, bravo for showing and having a go. Well-built model, and a very entertaining video, brilliant "cùm iad a’ tighinn".

Excellent,great sense of depth.👍🏻

Looks impressive! 👏🏻

Looks great.

Nice model!

Happy new year to you,just ordered the Dornier from watching your build thanks Nick

very cool! where can i see all the other colour scheme references(18:20)

Cool ✈

Cool models. ✈

Great build and presentation

Fun quick build. Great nostalgia factor. Bill

Very nice! Great job!

great job,love it!

Only bit of criticism is that there were no bubble top Spits in invasion stripes chasing V1s. High back Spit XIV, Spit XII, Spit IX. Nice work otherwise.

Well done, really like this build, love the depth perception by using the launches in a different scale. Love the usual inuendo loaded commentary. What the hell if it’s the wrong mark of spitfire, it’s the joy of creating and using the hobby as an aid to recovery, if it makes you happy do it! That said it would be a step to far to have used a Supermarine Walrus to tip the V1! Brilliant "cùm iad a’ tighinn".

Great effort, Paul. Imaginitive and a very good result!

Patience of Joab, had me laughing watching you trying to pick-up the undercarriage bits, just the thought of it with my shakes makes me chuckle, never mind, well done sir "cùm iad a’ tighinn"

That's a very elegant method of lighting it! I looks good.

Just about to finish the same model mate. What a pain the undercarriage has been, jeez I came close to chucking in the bin 😂. You made a great job of that. I myself will stick to 1 72 scale in the future 😂. Thanks for sharing 👍

So, you went there to get cheese, instant coffee, sweets for the family who will visit over Christmas and 5 pairs of worksocks but came away with a tank........... Gotta love Aldi (and Lidl)

A simple build, no flashy flashy lights or spiny spinning things. Wish we had an Aldi, but it’s a round trip of 250 miles to our nearest in Inverness! Having never built the Cromwell five days ago I bid on an Airfix one and a Revell one, just in case I didn’t win the first one. The Airfix one I won last night and in about 3 hrs I might be in possession of the Revell one, sods law! Enjoyed this build with a cup of coffee and a biscuit, well done sir "cùm iad a’ tighinn"

A nice quick build and a nice result.

Revell have upped their game recently and make some really good kits- their Land Rover and Jaaag E-type are particularly good, though with the Land Rover they've scattered parts at random all over several sprues, which is very frustrating. Good job on the Thunderbolt! I'd suggest getting an Airwick wax burner, as used by SteamGeezer for transfers (I'm old enough to call them that!) as it works superbly well for keeping a supply of warm water close at hand.

Ahh, the mighty ‘Jug’ (why it got that nickname 🤷‍♂), watching with interest as I have both the razor back and bubble top in my stash, and a couple of near the knuckle nose art decals for each. Deecals/Dekals or as we used to say Transfers. Loving the paint scheme well done sir "cùm iad a’ tighinn"

MLK once said ‘I had a dream’, though I don’t think it was in the context of modelling and HMS Belfast. How you dream up these dioramas 🤷‍♂ is just fantastic, excellent execution, well done sir "cùm iad a’ tighinn"

Volume far too low.

It looks great, I haven't the patience for dioramas. I`m Lynne's partner (Ally calls me Manchester Mike) and I have been modelling for a while now, although I`ve just started back after a couple of years. I like cars and bikes mainly, though I`m just finishing a B25 Mitchel by Airfix.

Arr, this was built before you came out of the closet and moved to the shed. Six months ago I was probably at the caravan, poor reception that’s my excuse! 1971 I joined the RAF, now I feel old 😔. Fiddly little bugger around the float struts, but you got there with a little fettling and the finished model looks rather good, and even better in it’s resin base. Well done sir "cùm iad a’ tighinn"
