One of the first models I ever built to completion was the previously mentioned Revell Tri-motor. It suffered a similar fate as the above DC-3, and as a result I built my first, and so far only, diorama. I built the Tri-motor in the arctic expedition variation, and in the fall, the port ski was broke, and the motor on that side also took some damage. I grabbed a square sheet of blue-board, and some plaster. I smeared the plaster across the sheet with a spatula, whippin it to look like wind blown snow on ice. While the plaster was still damp, I brought the trimotor in for it's "crash landing" complete with parts scattered across the landin path, and a ground loop where the port ski "broke" and the port strut collapsed. The dog sled, dogs, and crew were placed around the wreck loading up the sled for the trip home. Hope they had enough supplies!!
