I know its a MR2 but still if we use 1/144 it could be useful!

Re: RAF Waddington Diorama
Mark as John has said we went with 1/144 but some may have to be 1/72 due to availability
John thats superb! Now all we need to do is work out how we have the Models Do we want the m on the Runway or placed along part of the map so you can see the Airfield and also the Models?

Scale still seems to be the key issue.Flyingmonster wrote:Mark as John has said we went with 1/144 but some may have to be 1/72 due to availability

- 1/72 has the range of aircraft kits, but the scale airfield would still be huge (and to have larger aircraft may not be practical - a Vulcan would probably take up 20-25 grid squares on that map)
- 1/144 would be good, but the range of aircraft kits is somewhat limited I think.

Sounds ok to me Boss!!Softbill Man wrote:Im thinking they could be placed on all the dispersal points, with 3 or 4 small vulcans sat on the scramble pads if possible, but looking at the map i have, there should be lots of room for aircraft and make it more interesting if they are placed around the airfield. Especially if we can make the diorama base much larger than the map.
What do you think mate???
John
David you bang on there mate!! I hope we can get around this - I think its gonna have to be a mix. I have people looking about for different kits etc so we may come up trumps!

Re: RAF Waddington Diorama
Wowsa, that is a cracking map John
A simple process to scale it up, as it handily laid out in a grid. Have used this method to paint large pictures before. Will have a chat with you on thursday about it, can you make sure you have a tape measure with you.

You can. It started as a way to get my head round the scale, but I figured it may be helpful for planning.Flyingmonster wrote:David thats brilliant!! This is taking off big time!

It is indeed progressing! Me and John (As well as a few others) have the plans and are just waiting to hear back from a few people
When I took it on I thought it would be a piece of cake... boy was I wrong!
