Eduard Fw 190 A-7 & Eduard Fw 190 D-9 Diorama

[Green KreationZ]

Thank you all!! 😁😁😎

Update time:


I think this might be the way to display the planes. Allows a natural and organic feeling way to still see a good portion of details.




Frame going together for plane camouflaged cover




Frame complete and mud down. As you can see from the pics, at this stage I have mixed the acrylic mud product with the real dirt. After application, I also added tire marks.

Outstanding. I love the building for the plane. And the tires tracks kick it up another notch as well

[Green KreationZ]

Thanks kyledehart5

Working on camo net for the top. I plan on adding sticks and leafs similar to the reference picture as well.

[kyledehart5]

Sweet!! That will look really awesome especially once you get the foliage bits added onto it

[handiabled]

The base is really taking shape! The mud effect looks wonderful

[TJ]

That's looking really cool.

[Green KreationZ]

kyledehart5 handiabled TJ - Appreciate it! The camo net will be black with a mix of RLM 2 I think. Nearly impossible to tell from black and white photos what the real coloration was. 

Tonight I’ll be adding static grass which will really make this come to life. 

I can’t take all the credit though. Much of my success can be attributed to my helper - 

[kyledehart5]

Lol. Good help is tough to find so it’s nice you were able to find someone so productive.

Most definitely!! 

Static grass is on! Bushes and other plants tomorrow. 

[kyledehart5]

You’ll be done with this in no time!! Quick work and it’s looking better all the time

[deafpanzer]

What a great start on your diorama base!!!

[Green KreationZ]

Thank you both!

More progress:

Primed the whole thing in black. If you’ve not done this before, it adds depth to the diorama. Similarly to preshading an aircraft.




Primary paintwork is done:






Tomorrow I will do detail painting and dry brushing. These will be the final steps for this part of the diorama. Afterwards I still need to paint all the figures and other supporting items.

[kyledehart5]

That looks awesome!!

[handiabled]

The black prime coat really did add a lot of depth to the base. Looks tremendous so far!

The diorama base is complete. Tonight I’ll begin work on painting all my little figures and accessories

[Green KreationZ]

[kyledehart5]

Oh yeah. You have some fantastic goodies to put in your scene Keith!! This is going to be too cool

[keavdog]

Fantastic my friend!

[406 Silverado]

And that's how it's done right there! I can't get over all of the hard work and attention to detail that's going into this whole thing Keith. I apologize for not being in here as much lately as I've been working on a ton of things behind the scenes here at MSC but I'm glad I looked in here today and saw all of this. This is some mind blowing stuff right here!! WOW!!!

Congratulations on the featured build from Eduard on that A-7 too. What an honor that is!! Well deserved Keith.....well deserved.

[handiabled]

First off a huge congrats for the recognition of the A-7 by Eduard! Well deserved for the excellent way you crafted it together! Your diorama keeps getting better and better with each addition added my friend.

[Green KreationZ]

keavdog 406 Silverado kyledehart5 - Thank you all very much for your interest in this build throughout the whole process. Also, thanks to anyone else that frequented and supported me. 

Last night I officially completed the build. I got a bit carried away and took like 41 photos. All have been edited and are ready to post. I’ll work on getting a post put together for the gallery sometime today.

Hey Keith, I've been meaning to comment on this for some time - but that's been slipping away from me the past few months. This turned out fantastic. The planes are top notch and the kudos from Eduard is well deserved. Making a diorama is sorta on my bucket list of things to do, but never seem to get around to it. LOL Anyway, my only question is one that really doesn't matter anyway. I just wondered how these two would find themselves on the same airfield. But I suppose there are probably many hypotheticals - and then there's just the "I don't care, it looks cool." Again, great finish. I really enjoyed watching this come together and learning a few things along the way.
