Hello Friends,

Here are pictures of HMV's Hamburger Hafen Diorama. I have extensivly modified the original kit enlarging it and detailing the interior of the warehouse.

Geez, I wouldn't even know where to start, after looking at your build pics, I', astonished. I had trouble doing flight plans for simple airport to airport hops, for VFR joy rides!! (No problem flying the plane and getting to where I was going) but the paper work, meh. Your diorama is awesome. You don't see this kind of work that much these days.

Hi Zathros,

Thank you for your kind words! But as an aircraft mechanic I know very well your pain regarding paperwork!

Also, if I understand correctly, Alles Gute zum Geburtstag!

I will begin a new report on another large scale diorama soon.

Kind Regards,

Cris

Being an aircraft mechanic is very intensive. I worked as an apprentice on aircraft on the side. I worked as a machinist in the aerospace industry for many years. I got to fly for free because of that. I also ran the F.B.O. on the weekends so I had a lot of power there. I'll never forget a guy with a Beechcraft Baron who insisted on refueling his aircraft, he had just purchased it. I was shocked when I saw him walk away from the plane while it was refueling. He accidentally (ignorantly) tore the fuel tank bladder. Inside, I laughed at his arrogance. Outside, I grounded his aircraft and prevented him from taking off. My friend (the owner of the place) made a nice profit on of that mistake! I am sure you have a quite a few similar stories.

Hi-Torque

Are you saying that this is a card model? In a diorama? REALLY? Isn't it a picture of the Hamburger Hafen?
Man, that's unbelievably fantastic work! You should post a thread showing how you did all that, with lots of pics, of course.
Congrats on such an amazing work! I'm very impressed! :thumb: :thumb:
