...also in progress, PM Models Mirage III / Dagger converted to a Belgian Mirage V of No.1 "Thistle" Squadron. U'C still to go on, but photographed here with a photo I took from a helicopter of Firhill, home of Partick Thistle F.C.

My diorama of the first time that I saw the big 1/24 Spitfire. There are 14 Airfix kits in this window

SODs Spad ...(SOD is Stephen O'Donnell, right back for Partick Thistle F.C.) I found the colour scheme whilst researching No.1 "Thistle" Sqn aircraft. This one is from No.5 "Comet" Sqn....but it has plenty of red & yellow on it!

Result! picked up this little beauty for 7 quid today. I feel a "Phoney War" or "Fall of France" diorama coming on!

...and the 1/48 Hobbycraft Vampire FB9 gets its gloss...

Love the giftshop dio, reminds me of "The Wool Cabin" our local cornershop that had a big back window full of toys and kits.

Wow.

You've done some really nice work here.

Excellent stuff - the shop dio is particularly interesting. That's how I often remember model shop windows in the 70's!

Wow, love your diorama of the gift shop! Wish I could remember enough of the shop window when I first bought a model...
Great work on the others, and that Cougar seat with pilot looks very much like the 'pilot' from the Alien movies...

Cheers!

Viking warrior, converted from the Airfix English Pikeman. The eyeguard is a shoulder epaulette from a War of Independence infantryman, and his pigtails are made with cords from the infantrymans flag

Awesome stuff!

That's very nice. Don't see a lot of figures on here.
