Hello everyone,

I finished my latest diorama. It is about the transport of a stranded sperm whale to the museum. The kit is the hobbyboss m1070, the whale is a selfmade sculpt. I hope you all like it!

Quite some giants, you've brought together!
Thanks for sharing.
Original idea.
Nice build and realistic sculpting.
I like it.

Just curious: based on reality?

I have not found a HET with a whale. But i found pictures of whales on flatbed trailers and our dutch army one used a engeneer vehicle to remove a whale so i put this elements together in a not too standard load for the HET

Thank you! it is very big indeed, but it is not very wide so it will fit on the shelf perfectly!

That's not how you get rid of a whale... THIS is how you get rid of a whale. Nice dio, though.

A very innovative build!

What did you make the whale out of?

The core of the whale is made of foam, the tail fin has a core of cardboard. the rest is sculpted out of milliput! thank you for the compliment!
