Making P38 wreck diorama - The Maid Of Harlech

[@theflow5269]

I've seen the actual wreck and this model is shockingly realistic. Beautiful and and at least as valuable a record of the wreck any amount of photographs.

[@Reaper_7645]

Am I mistaken in thinking that this wreck is in Wales Harlech? If so I may have to make a trip there one day

[@theflow5269]

@@Reaper_7645 it is indeed. However most of the time it is buried well out of sight under the shifting sands. And its exact location is pretty guarded!

[@Reaper_7645]

@@theflow5269 hmm I’m not too far from Harlech so I’ll deffo take a peek when I get the chance.

[@artycharr]

@@Reaper_7645 harlech is very picturesque even if you dont see the maid theres good views from castle.

[@Reaper_7645]

@@artycharr there is indeed lol I’m from Manchester UK, just down the road lol

[@netherman1325]

this is an incredible and unique diorama, I've seen plenty of these where the plane is crashing into the water, or maybe is at the ocean floor but isn't old and rusted yet. So seeing this is quite incredible.

[@herrlogan17]

Excellent work! It looks really outstanding. That light moving effect in the end is a nice touch :)

[@davidjames1389]

Wow, one of the coolest looking dioramas I've seen in a while!

[@modelermark172]

A very fine piece of work! Thanks for sharing your building techniques, as well as your finished diorama!

[@elennapointer701]

This is a work of art. Absolutely nop-notch and beautiful representation of the Maid. It's such a shame the aircraft itself hasn't been salvaged. It could be returned to display status at least and, if Glacier Girl is anything to go by, even airworthiness.

[@soopespeed]

It would be cool, but not only is the wreck itself cool, everything on it is so covered in rust at this point that I'm sure you couldn't repair it without using basically all new parts.

[@elennapointer701]

@@soopespeed I agree flying condition is a bit of a stretch, given all the salt-water immersion, crash damage and parts-stripping that was done, but it's possible to restore aircraft more banged-up than this one to display status, at least. The RAF Museum is doing exactly that with the Dornier-17 they salvaged.

[@AlexConnor_]

@@elennapointer701 Warbirds have been rebuilt from worse condition... Have to remember though, not much is saved in these cases, an argument could be made the original aircraft is getting destroyed simply to give the identity to a reproduction that is worth far more money if it can be claimed as "restored original".

[@motorTranz]

Absolutely stunning craftsmanship! Thank you for sharing this!

[@terry1million]

Excellent work, All we have is photographs of the wrek, Nice to see a model diorama frozen in time that will live forever.👌

[@tri3852]

Damn this is your best one yet! Thats a show winner right there.

[@simonrichards6739]

This is absolutely outstanding, she lies near our holiday home in North Wales. As a keen modeller myself I can only wish to get to this level!

[@captmulch1]

You’ve inspired me to do a diorama for a P38 found on Guadalcanal 10 years ago - I attended the wreck when it was uncovered in a swamp and took lots of photos.

[@torokun]

One of the most incredible diorama work I have seen in my life.

[@torokun]

지금보니 한국분이셨네요... 참 대단 하십니다...

[@basfinnis]

That looks wonderful. The silt on the wings looks so realistic. 👌

[@tim7052]

Superb model! Would've liked a some more info on what you were doing/techniques used, so I could improve my modelling ability.

[@christophersnyder1532]

Happy New Year! I am planning to build the P-38'sthat participated in the Yamamoto Mission, in 1943. Have a great, and exceptional year, take care, and all the best.

[@Spitsz01]

That is a piece of art, hats off to you.

[@asdfghjkl-t6w]

mmz에서 작품을 보고 여기서 다시 보게 되네요.....저도 2차 대전이나 태평양 전선에서 추락한 기체들 만들어 볼 의욕이 생깁니다 훌륭한 수작이십니다!

[@studioblueocean4590]

감사합니다~

[@taekadkc3720]

MMZ에서 봤습니다. 정말 엄청난 연출력입니다. 감탄밖에 안나오네요 존경스럽습니다.^^

[@Cerberus0076]

Amazingr.. THAT accurracy.. awesome! 👍

[@HandFromCoffin]

Amazing. Maybe try putting your mixed resin in a vacuum pot before poring. It will remove almost all bubbles from the resin.

[@sidekickbob7227]

Very well done! You could might consider for the next " half submerged wreck in water" diorama to dull down the parts above sea level. The nose and engines are too shiny after the epoxy pour. Such items are always very matte when dried up in the sun.

[@thebobloblawshow8832]

Incredible build. Photo realistic finish. 👍👍

[@참치돈가스]

와 진짜 지리네요....루리웹 글 보고 왔는데 영상 편집 스타일도 깔끔하고 브금도 잔잔하니 잘 어울리는거같아요..잘 봤습니다

Amazing diorama, you are in another level.

[@ModelNerd]

Beautiful work - very realistic and great composition too!

[@김성식-z8b]

WOW~!! MMZONE에서 사진으로 먼저 보고 놀랐습니다. 모델링과 디오라마를 예술 장르로 승화시켰습니다. 영상과 BGM의 조화도 매우 좋구요^^

[@fabyoand]

If I didn t watch it, I d never belive it.... Super great job ! 👍🔝😀

[@megatronVS]

I've never considered framing a diorama like that. I've never thought I'd want to own a diorama since they're just cumbersome pieces of art, but that looks clean as heck.

[@williamberardino7749]

Not something you see a lot a crashed plane diorama. Great job dude love it!

Just incredible love it

[@plastikyayo]

excellent work! very curious to know what kind of two part putty have been used for the scenic

[@mikesschool7094]

Ive never seen the reck but this is a prety reconizeable landmark very realistic and honors the pilot.

[@jensgrabe2947]

Just beautiful!❤

[@VinBizz]

wonderful man ! where can we found this epoxy putty ? Do you have the name of the brand ?

Beautiful work, really stunning.

[@dtengineering1]

Beautifully done.

[@frenchmodelkit]

Perfect job ! Bravo !

[@r.b.667]

Exquisitely done.

[@GMVitus]

I just want to point out that an aircraft's skin doesn't "rust", since it's made out of aluminium alloy. The alluminium does corrode, but it doesn't get those brown-red spots.

[@lizardidwat]

There’s a chance it could be mud/sand, because the brownish color seemed to be most prominent on the more submerged wing.

[@robertcasserly9967]

Absolutely perfect!

[@AJB2K3]

wow that water effect makes it feel alive.

[@SprueFascinationChannel]

Beautiful work.

[@randomguy5022]

Amazing work! Wow

[@stukapilota1930]

what is the hairspray technique mentioned to make the model rusty?

[@baltazargabka_]

Great result! But I have one question. What is that item, that you use to form bottom?

[@philliphopkins6903]

FANTASTIC 💙

[@bibo987945]

wonderful, put some kids play around the plane would be interesting.

[@lizardidwat]

I’ve heard the crash site is very heavily guarded, so that wouldn’t necessarily be very realistic. It’s a good thought though, and it would be fitting in a tank ruins diorama because old tank tend to become playgrounds for children.

[@eTraxx]

What is the two part epoxy putty used? I recognize Korean on the bags.

[@TV-se4ce]

Wow amazing good work

[@simonloxton4246]

Well done, congratulations.

magnificent work

[@tysoncott7402]

wow!!! now that was cool!

[@tophatvideosinc.5858]

you made it rusty even though the p-38 was literally the first aircraft to fully make use of stainless steel sheeting and flush rivets.

[@stewart8737]

Standing Ovation....well done

[@luuk341]

beautiful!

[@AJHyland63]

Nice model but the body doesn’t rust, aluminium corrosion is white. Only engine, engine mounts, turbines would rust

[@babenberg]

Airplanes are made by aluminium, and aluminium rust is light gray, not red. The brownish colored areas are not surface rust, are deposits of organic materials and mud. I guess is a misconception coming from the cars, that are made by steel, and it rusts red. Anyway, 90% of that is covered, so I don't really see the need of it in covered areas. Besides of that, nice job.

[@gegegec]

beautiful

Tried to find it but the tide was to high and wind was causing the sea to be choppy as.

[@nigelsmith7366]

I think it is great except for the rust effects on the airframe... Engines yes but there was almost no steal in wings ect

[@truereaper4572]

It's referenced from the actual wreck

[@airmech6271]

Sorry for spoiling, aluminium oxide is greyish and not rust coloured. Must rather be sediments 🤓

[@eddieh6597]

one of the best!

[@reaperofsouls7700]

lovely diorama

[@robyk65]

The only missing detail is the propeller, too straight, it had to be bent as per the impact with the sea water...

[@inspectorcal]

correct the prop that is upright has been bent backwards more so at the very tip.
