Reason: added pictures
I have been working on an idea for these a while now, also after a trip to Hobby town. Plastruct makes Corrugated Siding in several scales. The larger scales would look appropriate for 1/72nd. I have collected the pics posted as well as a few others. It appears there was just concrete between them. So you could sandwich a piece of thin foam between 2 sheets, use a Verlinden tarmac with some HO accessories such a photo eteched man hole covers and have a pretty decent looking diorama. ![]() ![]() | |||||||||||||

| I'm surprised that the Brits seem more open to this idea the you guys (seeing as the majority of members here are surely American). I would have thought that more people would have wanted these for their displays. Initially I wasn't sure whether it was a good idea but I reckon the more I check out the pics the more it appeals to me for display, especially for the Ritchie F4 and other Vietnam F4s surely due out in the future. | |||||||||||||

| Re: What about blast pens for our Vietnam Era jets HM? No offense, it just doesn't do anything at all for me. I guess I really have no interest in dioramas anyway, it's just window dressing for the airframe IMHO. | |||||||||||||

| Re: What about blast pens for our Vietnam Era jets HM? Kind of like dioramas, but problem is that they gobble up to much shelf space. | |||||||||||||
