hi all here are a few more pics of my butchered bird diorama…
i still have to pour the resin. to complete the marshy/boggy effect.
i scratchbuilt the pilot using legs from a tamiya officers legs.and the arms from a dragon figure…the body and skull were made from milliput.
the wooly jumper and flying jacket are made from cigarrette paper…
the weeds and reeds are human hair and old housepainting brush bristles…the duckweed on the 190 is ground up sawdust…the gunsight is scratchbuilt…[thanks to B.W for pics]…i am trying to sculpt a raven from milliput. to sit on the canopy…but i’m not having much luck so far…anyways enjoy the pics…
REGARDS…D…
Interesting, if not a little morbid. That’s ok, I like morbid.
Great job!

Great job, Deakon!! I had a similar idea after watching the scene in ‘Romancing the Stone’ where they come across the downed drug transport with the two skeletal pilots in the cockpit. (Could never figure out what kind of plane it was.)
Be sure to post more pics when it’s finished!
Good work, I like the moss growing on the plane.
Looks great! I’ve got similair moss growing on nooks and crannies on my Land Rover’s soft-top…
The pilot looks decidedly uncomfortable…
I like it. (I’m also a big fan of Night of the Living Dead too). I saw something similar to this years ago(1975-76), only it was a Japanese plane in the jungle and the pilot was in the cockpit. The guy that built it used a skeleton from an old (Disney)Pirates of the Caribbean kit and had him still clutching the stick and slumped over. I remember being amazed at the amount of detail (and this was before the resin or brass detail add on stuff). I was also sort of amazed recently that more of this type of subject matter doesn’t show up more often. You’ve done an excellent job and the details are great. Also very imaginative. thanks for sharing.

Nice work!!!
[:)]
Deak, really nice job!
This is so new, good idea the dio is just awesome.
That is a great job, excellent job on weathering the 190. One question though, I’m passing through from the armor forum. And I was wondering how that Tiger1 in the first photo is comeing along.
thanks chaps your comments are appreciated…
TIGER 44 . there should be an update this weekend on the TIGER build…
but since you asked she is comming along nicely. thanks
Hi there
Looking great, what a cool idea.
Keep well.
Jeeeeez,DEAKON
Ya trying to give us nightmares, or what?
I like it though…I do
It’s just so different and a good idea [}:)]
Nice job Deakon!
SSSWWWeeeeetttt!My only problem is that someone beat me to it ! Looks great!
WOW! absolutely fantastic!
Great work, Deakon!
Powerful impact. War ain’t all puppies on Stug. IIIs and wine for the Greyhounds, that’s for sure!
One observation: I know flight suits are pretty thick affairs, but the pilot seems a tad robust for a skeleton!
I suppose the rats could only get to his face…
thanks for all your comments guys i appreciate them…J.H you hit the nail on’t head old bean…the vermin/crows have made dinner of his head,…i tried to puff out the body of the pilot to represent bloating, …[yeuch], and you spotted it…[i thought maybe i was being to clever.]… it shouldn’t be as obvious once the water/resin has been poured,
REGARDS…D…
Every gory detail meticulously recreated!
Very clever (if not totally disgusting!), but are you going to add the unforgettable stench of death to the diorama as well?
Yikes! Perhaps that would be taking it a bit too far!
