This
project was an endeavor that I wanted to do for some time. It took six months
and a lot of extra work. Most of the items were scratch-built with too many to
mention. E.G. F-14 ladder, wingfold on the S-3, bomb carts, firemen's oxygen
tanks, seatbelts, etc. Tedious but fun.

Some of the
decals on the F-14 and S-3 were computer made. First time experience at
this. The weathering on the aircraft was done with pastels.
I hope
you enjoy the diorama as much as I did being creative with it. I know that some
of the
expert modelers will find fault with some aspects of it because it may
not be perfectly accurate, however I build dioramas to capture a moment in time
that others may enjoy for years to come.
