Default My first diorama - Crash landed P-40B Warhawk

This started off because I wanted a model plane where I could practice doing bullet and overall damage as preparation for a future project.After I started I decided to turn it into a diorama and give that a try too. The original model is an Airfix 1/72 Curtiss P-40B WarHawk. I did some bullet damage and a couple of pieces of the wings shot off too, so now it is supposed to look like a plane that was shot and then crash landed. I also had to saw the canopy into 2 parts because the model only had the option to be a closed cockpit. I also tried to do some puddle effects, but the base I used for the diorama absorbed most of the 'water' material, but it still gives the impression of a drying puddle I think.

Very nice. The muddy ground effect really comes together in the oblique picture.

Great start! If you are looking for tips make sure to look online for anything from the late Shep Paine. He was a master and wrote great and easy to understand books on dioramas, battle damage, weathering... etc.

Have not built a model in 30 years, but still have some kits in a box in the basement. Just waiting for my retirement!

Good luck!
