Ratch Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I put this together some time ago, to use as a photographic backdrop to builds.

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 You must have loads of display scenes, Ratch. Where do you store it all?! 😆 😉 😀 Great pictures. 😀 GNR-Gordon-4 (AF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 All over the place. When things get broke (which they inevitably do), if they can't be repaired they get trashed. Makes room for more builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad Paul B Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Great piece of work Ratch. Plenty of variety. The twin Hotspur is interesting - was this a conversion of the old Frog kit (currently available from a Russian producer)?It would be nice to have some space for this sort of project but that won't be for quite a few years for me.Thanks for sahring.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 Cheers Paul, yes it's two Frog/Novo Hotspurs joined. Someone sent drawings to me for the centre section,I cut the wings and used Milliput to re-shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gehuts Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Very nice stuff!I have 7 Sunderlands and 10 Catalinas for a Costal Command lakeside base, but have not a clue how to start doing the building. Can you point me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 I'd look for images of seaplane stations like Pembroke Dock and start from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gehuts Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Thank you for replying; however, I did not make myself clear.My house is in the famous WW2 'Donegal corridor' and I have many photos from that time, of the base at Castle Archdale, and have visited the remaining structures. The core of the base is about 3 acres - at 1/72, that would be a big model.However, I do not have much idea about the building of such displays. I suppose it would have to be constructed in sections'; how do you make differing levels of ground, how do you do various forms of vegetation and hardcore areas (and water, of course!)I have looked at a couple of YouTube videos, but I was hoping for some experienced (professional?) advice.
