BoB 1968

Post by tc2324 » Sun Sep 16, 2018 9:53 am

As you may already know it`s been 50 years since the making of the BoB movie. Leonard Mosley`s `making of` book was probably one of the first books I read as a child and the front cover always drew my attention. It seemed fitting that if I ever came to make a BoB movie diorama, I would choose the front cover.

Just need to find a correctly sized frame to protect the base and this will be done but as it`s a day past the actual anniversary of the real BoB, it seemed right to post this up now.

The kits are 1/72 and the only really issue I had during the build has the continual humming of the movies theme tune......

Hi Buddy :P

I NEVER tire of peeking at your stunning work :thumbs:

I saw that film at the local Gaumont as a snot-nosed 16 yr-old :whistle:

Best regards :thumb:

Thanks for all the comments guys, managed to finish this now with a nice bit of framing to protect the base prior to `moving this on....`
