After the spit i have started working on doing some bases for a few of the other completed kits, lets me play with pigments and that huge roll of grass i now have. The first one is for the two 109's and instead of doing two separate bases, i thought i could combine the two. I need to otherwise i am going to lose a shelf in the cabinet as only one base will fit comfortably, unless i do squares...and i prefer rectangles. This one is 38 x 14, the Spit base is 29 x14 cm and sits angled neatly in the 39 x 29 shelf space. Any smaller than 38cm for two planes and it starts to look a bit cramped. So, to fit both 109's on the one and not look out of place, one being a Trop and the other Western front, i came up with the idea of blending from France to Africa with pigments. Grass to dirt runway to desert sand. The desert section is still in the drying stage and some blending to do but coming along decently.

I may add some small puddles with the clear water product i still have from the Warspite build as the grass to dirt section looks like it has recently rained, and possibly some in the tyre tracks.

Sure looks fine Ajay you do nice work

Amazing....

This looks way too real to be sitting on a workbench, especially the dirt/grass patch. It's really going to improve the presentation a lot.

Decided against the water, i have a whole new idea for my next kit so i'll use it there.














Definitely elevates the models for a few hours extra work Cheers guys!

Sets 'em off a treat, that does.

Magnificent

Good show M8,,you do outstanding work and always a pleasure to read your posts and see the pictures ..hopefully some day you will do a Corsair..but whatever you build i'll enjot watching it

Love the way the underground highlights the purpose of the different camo shemes.

It's just asking for a nice engraced plaque on the front now...

Very, very effective display Ajay. How about a pilot for each next?

Dude, my figures looks like i am trying to re-create the Guinea Pig club. I've lucked one out the door with my Sherman, the rest are a hot mess.

Cut the silhouette of a pilot out of black plastic, like they sometimes have in museum displays... or add the airfield dog

More nice work Ajay.
