Customized MD-11 in the Desert

KevinO · 10-12-2001, 10:37 PM

I have a fasination of retired airliners in the desert. So I customized an extra Jet-X Delta MD-11 that has been retired (sometime in the future) and set it in a desert diorama. It looks better in person, the pics did not turn out the greatest but you get the idea. I'm working on another one at the moment to place across from the MD-11. Some will probably think I'm nuts destroying a perfectly good model, but hey it was an extra one I had.

I always thought of weathering some models but you....
went beyond weathering... but I like it I like anything creating a scene or diorama. Good job!
Very interesting!
Thx for sharing the pics!

Absolutely fascinating... now do about five more and line them up and you'll REALLY have something!

Reminds me of the view out at Mojave on my way to go skiing!
