Being rather blase about the difference between 1/56 and 1/48, I'm currently building a Tamiya 1:48 Tilly, which fits well with my 28mm figures:

 The Tamiya Tilly is a proper one. IIRC Captain Blood has one on his desert war thread if you want to see one for scale purposes.

I've often fancied getting one to paint up as a bomb disposal vehicle as per Danger UXB.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

I like that paint scheme.

My Tilly is still in primer, but a couple of chaps from my RN league agreed to stand next to it for scale purposes. If anything they are larger than the driver Tamiya supplied.

That looks fine to me scale-wise.

Another Pulp Alley table done! The hangar was the last major piece (I found a couple of barrels I might paint up).  I scrapped the card roofing that came with the kit and upgraded to some Plastruct O scale corrugated roofing I had bought some years ago. I am happy with the result:

I also took a bunch of pictures of the whole table with all it's pieces:


As usual, many more pictures on my blog.

That is absolutely cracking! You chose wisely with the corrugated plastic card.

Very nice. Now I see the hanger together all those 'A' framed pieces make sense.

The hangar is larger than I thought it would be. I assumed it would cover about twice the area of the Quonset hut but it is close to 4 times that; it has turned out to be the dominant feature.

Thank you everyone for the compliments.

  lol it's a cracking build.

The foot print of the hanger does seem quite dominant.
I wonder if it wouldn't be visually reduced (and no doubt you've tried it) if the hanger was on the runway with the runway running into it rather than the hanger being at a right angle to it.

That roof is PERFECT! Well done to replace it with the corrugated iron.

You are right I did try that. :D It looked OK; I think it could work, depending on the scenario. It is interesting to watch other people set up the terrain I have made; they come up with placements I never thought off and it it usually looks great.
