Good Stuff I live in Canada and been building Airfix models since I was a teen LOVE IT I am now 60 years young just too bad there are No Airfix 1/72 scale models of Canadian soldiers... My Dad , Mom and numerous Uncles served in WW2 . Keep up the Great You tube videos on diorama building Cheers Jeff Burns
I think you've done a great job. So what if it's supposed to be a water bowser, a fuel tanker fits the theme but the rivet counters will probably start whining about the lack of a Coventry Climax fuel pump. These builds give the inspiration and knowledge to try things myself. Hence a 1/72 Dambusters Lancaster, with solar lights, hanging at the correct scale height over my pond. Oh and the framed paint7ont the sprue Spitfire in the downstairs loo.
As I explained during the video, the Typhoon had recognition stripes added in 1942, long before D Day, because the shape of the aircraft was found to be similar, at certain angles, to the Focke Wulf FW190, which was its main opponent when it was first introduced in 1941, as the FW190 outclassed the MkV Spitfire. The stripes were painted on the underside of the wings and fuselage, so they would be visible to ground based AA crews. It's also worth noting that invasion stripes on nearly all aircraft were used from D Day right until the end of the war and beyond, so those stripes don't necessarily mean the model or diorama is representing D Day, although in this case it is.
@@SteamGeezerUK FIY the Typhoon fighter plane was an infantrys "God send "I remember my Dad telling me when his Platoon was "having a rough go at it " His Captian called in the Typhoons and that was the end of that ! Air power that is one reason why the war was over in less then a year after D.Day June 6 th 1944 to May 8th 1945 God Bless Jeff Burns
Yes I did enjoy the whole series. A very good job. There is just a couple things I would have done. I would have ran another fueling hose to the other guy and whenever fueling or anything is done on an aircraft. There are 2 or 3 people standing by with fire extinguishers.
That makes a lot of sense, but unfortunately there were no figures with fire extinguishers in the set. I do have 3D print files for extinguishers though, maybe I'll add some at some point... 🙂
Loved this one from start to finish! A WWI trench diorama might be cool someday....more about the.terrain than the figures; havent seen much along those lines. That or bring back Joe and the zombies. [Good indie band name]
Extremely clean concrete, isn't it ? Overall extremely clean, actually. Makes it unnatural. The road looks shiny in contrast to the perfect patch of concrete, like mud, so how can the bike kick up dust ?
that looks brilliant actually all 4 vids.... though Im not sure about the colours, I have seen plenty of real film from D-Day and all looked 100 shades of grey to me :)
I'd never consider using Contact adhesive for that application. #1 reason being the solvent triggered multiple micro heart attacks when I was exposed to it in a workplace. #2 reason is it relies on surface area, obviously lacking on 3 sides of that plastic sheet. #3 reason, as you say, One chance to locate it correctly on that highly flexible material. Mind you, you can apply the sheet when the adhesive is still wet. The far better adhesive is polyurethane.. the type used by wood workers if they have low skill and so, very loose joints. This adhesive is very strong and ideal for dissimilar materials. As it cures it it produces a foam that fills voids. This deals with the low contact area around the 3 'lacking' sides as the adhesive expands and covers wider areas than where a thin bead is applied around the edges of the plastic sheet. AND, you wouldn't be fluffing around gluing off-cuts to 'lacking' areas. Apply a thin bead around all edges and a light trace bead on the flat area of the plastic sheet. Wipe the timber sheet (or any material like metal or ceramic) with a water damp rag. This triggers the adhesive cure. Place the sheet down, locate correctly and spring clamp down where needed. Place a weighted sheet cut to size over the flat area. Use gloves because this stuff will stick to anything and spreads easily on sticky fingers. The cleanup solvent is mineral turps. This will fully cure in 24hrs. Any excess foam that my form around the edges can be easily carved off with a sharp knife... even sculptured.
Oh dear ,oh dear. Rivet missing from lower rear sprocket. Wrong type of grass, concrete is the wrong colour as is the muddy road. Diameter of the fuel hose is totally out of proportion, and another thing,the Wren has a ladder in her stockings and is cheating on her husband: other than that it’s a fantastic build 😁
Because every time I've tried to use something else, even ones supposedly approved by youtube, I get demonetised for copyright infringement, so I stick with music that doesn't give me that issue.

Your model, your channel. Your rules.
Thanks, I appreciate it 🙂
Very well done. Most impressive diorama well constructed and a pleasure to watch. Many thanks for sharing.

Thanks, I appreciate it. It might be worth seeing if you can find some digital models of Canadian troops that can be 3D printed...
The concrete needs expansion joints and weathering.
Those vacuform bases can actually be turned into a decent looking diorama! Nicely done!
Thanks, i appreciate it 🙂
@@SteamGeezerUK Very welcome! I appreciate the inspiration as well
That's nice that. I picked one up meaning to give it a go. I'm not a scenery guy and that looks... achievable.
That's the idea - to inspire people to have a go 🙂
Such faith shown with the contact adhesive "thats touched now. We're doomed." Hahaha😂
Loved this series, onto the sea assualt kit! :)
If you've ever worked with contact adhesives, you'll know what I mean. One touch and that's where it's staying 😁
Knockout presentation really enjoyed the whole thing - very well done.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching 🙂

I love the Lanc idea - give it a go and show us the results. Actually, that reminds me... I have a 1/72 Lanc somewhere...
@@SteamGeezerUK I'll dig a photo out and stick in the staff canteen
Those mixed herbs! Genius!
They work surprisingly well, and they smell great too 🙂
Very Nice the only thing missing on the aircraft is the three 3 white stripes on the wings meaning an Allied plane used during the D Day Invasion
As I explained during the video, the Typhoon had recognition stripes added in 1942, long before D Day, because the shape of the aircraft was found to be similar, at certain angles, to the Focke Wulf FW190, which was its main opponent when it was first introduced in 1941, as the FW190 outclassed the MkV Spitfire.

Inspirational video, enjoyed the whole series and thanks for mention on the first video 😊
Well, it was your build that inspired this one, so technically this is your fault 🙂
A real pleasure to watch, thanks!
Thanks, I appreciate it 🙂
What static grass machine do you use
It's one I made myself. I have videos on them if you're interested - ruclips.net/p/PL6Tibx9kQcv63fwF_HHXYtaJ4Tfzq5_jD
Ok thanks

Keep it to yourself, but we may be seeing a return of Big Joe et al at some point ;-)
A great job
Thanks, I appreciate it 🙂
Diorama looks good to me. Don't mind the negative Nellys as most of them don't have anything on their channels
Thanks, I appreciate it. I find that, in most cases, the people who complain the most have the least to show 🙂
@@SteamGeezerUK Truth right there Sir
Airfix made several of these vac form kits. They all seem to be poorly cut.
I'm glad it's not just me being unlucky then, although you'd think they'd try harder to get it right...
Extremely clean concrete, isn't it ? Overall extremely clean, actually. Makes it unnatural. The road looks shiny in contrast to the perfect patch of concrete, like mud, so how can the bike kick up dust ?
that looks brilliant actually all 4 vids.... though Im not sure about the colours, I have seen plenty of real film from D-Day and all looked 100 shades of grey to me :)
I saw a vignette the other day that someone had done it shades of grey to match the photo that inspired it. Absolute genius 🙂
Yeah, they didn't have colour in the old days. It's a new invention from the 60's.
I wonder if the base is cut from a large base leading to the edges? Surly it wouldn't pass quality control if it was a miss cut? All the best Anthony
You'd think so, wouldn't you? It seems, from some of the other comments, that it's a common theme with vacuum formed kits.
You need what I need, a lazy Susan
😉👍
I have one somewhere, but the bearings in it are very noisy, that's why o stopped using it 🙂
@SteamGeezerUK nowt worse than squeaky bearings
Thanks for the reply
😉👍

That's not a bad idea. I never thought of that, although I don't have any anyway, but it's worth keeping in mind for the future, cheers 🙂

why do keep using the same music? out of curiousity
Because every time I've tried to use something else, even ones supposedly approved by youtube, I get demonetised for copyright infringement, so I stick with music that doesn't give me that issue.
The guns look stupid, The truck tarp is too shiny, the rules way too clean and brand new looking
