I am still not happy with the way my 1-72 WW1 dio is going, simply that I haven't got the room for what I want, so I may have to segment each section 6" x 12" however this way, I am still looking at 8 pieces giving me a wopping 2 foot square and in the same breath, providing I get this right, I also get 8 individual pieces of action diorama. This small piece is slowly heading towards the first section of eight, I've never attempted anything like this before, so if anyone out there has a better idea, I would love to hear about it, in the mean time here is a couple pix of work so far -

And somewhere among the cannon, troops, trenches, I want 1 or 2 two heavy tanks (female). Like I said, please let me know if you have some good ideas to my problem, look forward to it.

Bad news I'm afraid, I brought a sopwith camel from Revell, very nice, and straight away wanted another but obviously not the same one (couldn't be bothered to hunt down 1-72 WW1 aircraft decals) so I brought another sopwith from Academy, and boy what a difference in build and size of this same scale aircraft, the Revell craft is better all round, decals, building, painting, you name it this little model is miles ahead of the Academy, I would like to hear from anyone that believes the same, or knows of an even better 1-72 sopwith camel model maker.
