Building a diorama for the wrecked Airfix 1/72 scale Spitfire Mk.1a

Please consider supporting me on Patreon - / steamgeezer
Today at Badgerworks we build the crash site diorama for our wrecked Airfix Spitfire, with water effects, a nice, grassy bank with flowers, and a river bed made of cat litter...
After catastrophic engine trouble, our intrepid pilot is forced to crash land his Spitfire, sliding it through a river, hitting a boulder and ending up in the bank. After unsuccessfully trying to fix the radio to call for help, our man hitches up his britches and sets off to the inevitable derision of his mates.
We're calling this one "A Long Walk Home".

[@PKPorthcurno]

I love a good diorama. It isn't just the illustration of an historical event in 3-dimensions, but the artistry and craftsmanship involved in making one.

[@SteamGeezerUK]

Indeed. I'm getting more into diorama making - I think it really adds a lot rather than just having a model on its own.

[@surinfarmwest6645]

Bumped into this just now and love it. Not made models for 40 years and this gives me a lot of happy memories. Good old pound shop! Improvisation to the max.

[@SteamGeezerUK]

Thanks for watching :-)

[@whawaii]

As someone who doesn't typically sit through lengthy videos, I can't believe I watched the whole thing from beginning to end. Very well done. Good presentation, editing & entertainingly engaging.

[@SteamGeezerUK]

Thanks, I appreciate it. I'm always a little concerned at the length of the videos, but I've been told people like the longer viewing time.

[@whawaii]

Most lengthy video just drone on and on. Having myself been an editor in the Television industry, I typically fast-forward to just the highlights & relevant/interesting parts in most videos. You were able to achieve that directly with your concise editing that kept the video moving along very nicely & quickly from one part to the next, with just enough detail to learn from but not letting the presentation slow down. Again well done.

[@SteamGeezerUK]

That's good to hear, thanks. One of the problems I found when I first got back into modelling was trying to find information on how people did things. I've watched many videos of very highly skilled builders, but they don't always show how they get the amazing results they do. That was the reason I started this channel - so I could share the information I found to others in the same boat as me. It does mean that sometimes the videos need to be a bit longer than what is normal for this kind of channel, but I don't want to miss anything out. I must confess I'm in the business too, but normally in front of the camera rather than behind it, so editing is still a bit of a learning curve for me. It's gratifying to hear from someone who knows what they're doing that I'm heading the right way :-)

[@ireachy]

I am a modeller, but primarily a Star Wars costumer, and use both the pastels and cheap cat litter as cheap weathering media, so brilliant to see both used here (linking the use of pastels for weathering in you previous video showing the build and painting/weathering of the model).... brilliant as ever sir...

[@SteamGeezerUK]

I used both pastels and the cat litter to weather my son's Fallout Vault suit we made for him - it's very versatile stuff :-) Thanks for watching.

[@ireachy]

@@SteamGeezerUK Exactly - highly versatile media that scale really well - models kits, model railways and also 1:1 cosplay/costumes, and much cheaper than commercial versions, but just as effective, and allow for custom mixing - fab. Keep up the feeds and videos as fantastic inspiration... :-)

[@JZStudiosonline]

Couple resin tips, our shop also has no heater so we made a resin box from some thick foam insulation and stuck a 25 watt bulb in top that keeps it a good constant temp. There's also tape called flashbreaker that's a bit pricey, but resin doesn't doesn't stick to it at all. As a potential third, if you do resin pours in this size square grid frequently it would be good to make a "box" of 4 pieces you can put together with screws to get crisp square edges. Some packing tape on the inside will make it non stick too.

[@SteamGeezerUK]

Good tips, thanks :-)

Outstanding job on the diorama. Learned something new with the use of the foil for the wing. Beautiful diorama.

[@alexanderplatz3568]

Fantastic diorama , only the one gripe thow, when that Spitfires crash and hit water or ground, the prop shafts would have been bent backwards and not broken off, Mk1 props were made from Duralumin (later ones from composite wood and resin due to shortages) I know this to be so as I have an uncle that was an airframe fitter during WW2 and he said this was a common problem with novice flyers ground the Spits on landing due to the nose being so long, just a reality fact , sorry for being picky ,but there you go.

[@SteamGeezerUK]

No need to apologise :-) A lot of folks have commented on this. All the info I could find said Spits had Rotol props, so that's what I went with. Thanks for watching.

Great piece, only thing i would have suggested would be that if the plane hit the rock on its wing, I feel it would have turned atleast somewhat form the impact not directly gone forward. Just an idea

Agree, the plan would of actually pulled to the right after the wing hitting the rock, so engine would of turned towards the the rock and wing towards the path..

[@SprueFascinationChannel]

That's art!

[@Kojak0]

Quite fantastic - I'm not mch of an aircraft builer myself, but this gave a tom of tips on how to do things, so I might give it a try. The only think missing from the diorama is a human element - without people a scene like this doesn't connect with the viewer. I'm not saying filling the path with people, but perhaps someone with his dog having a chat with the unfortunate pilot? That would also give it a sense of time - the crash happened quite recently. Or, if you want to make it have happened some time ago - some engineers trying to figure out to get the garbage out of the water. Anything is possible, but as I said, a human element is quite necessary I think.

[@SteamGeezerUK]

I did think about adding people, a pilot at least, but I couldn't find any decent 1/72 scale figures at a price and delivery schedule to add them. Plus my figure painting leaves a lot to be desired :-) It's something I plan to do with future dioramas, if it's appropriate, because you're absolutely right in saying a human element adds a lot to the finished result.

Outstanding job. You are a brave man using that contact cement. Don't get but one try with that stuff. Well done! I have my eye on a 1/48 Airfix Sea Hurricane. Haven't done an Airfix kit since I was a kid. Or a UK fighter for that matter. Looks like the quality of that 1/72 was pretty good. I wonder if that carries over to their 1/48 stuff. Oh, well. I really enjoyed watching you do the kit AND the diorama. I kind of visualized the concept right along with you. Great work!

[@SteamGeezerUK]

Contact glue is easy to get along with as long as you're careful. I've done laminating jobs on boards eight feet square - now that is nerve wracking :-) As for the kit itself, this is a newer one and they seem to be not too bad.

Pretty good looking result. The rock looks a little odd and the plane would have slewed to the right when impacting it. All that said - way, way better than anything I could achieve.

[@SteamGeezerUK]

The rock is a little odd, I'll give you that. It was a casting I had laying around so I used it :-) As for the impact, machines do funny things when they hit stuff. One of the reference pictures I used was a Spitfire that belly landed, hit a cow which tore the port wing clean off at the root, but the rest of the plane slid straight as an arrow across the field. I think what one has to keep in mind is that the wing is only thin aluminium, and the force needed to shear it off is much less than the kinetic energy of the rest of the plane. Thanks for watching.

[@salparadise1220]

@@SteamGeezerUK There's a slight difference between a cow and a rock, in terms of density, mass and resistance to impact. Though I hear what you're saying about the weirdness of object's behaviour.
