The seventh week of the F4U-1A project I finished all fifteen of the trees and then arranged them on the rear section of the base. I then worked on the numerous other details I will be adding to the scene. The display case arrived yesterday from Grandpa’s Cabinets. I verified the diorama base will fit correctly on the display case base. I need to mount the diorama base to the display case base and I can then begin laying down the sand. Once the sand is down I need to add some fallen fronds and some ground cover. The gap in the tree line will be made to look like a path to the beach.
Once the display base is completed I will just need to add the patches, create the beach backdrop, and do final weathering on the aircraft. The client is scheduled to pick this up the week before the Christmas holiday.
You can see all the photos and details from the start in the build log at: 1/48 F4U-1A CORSAIR
