[Green Acres]🐭2️⃣6️⃣2️⃣🐭
Now I am Fin!! So please indulge the history geek in me!
When I saw that NiR McBride of [sau] created a ME 262 I just had to have it!
I was a model builder as a kidd and there was nothing funner than creating dioramas. This is my little pixelated diorama.
Fun Facts:
The ME 262 was the 1st operational jet fighter in history.
Top speed of the ME 262 was 540 mph vrs the P-51s 430mph
The pilot in the image depicts the cigar chomping fighter ace Generalleutnant Adolf Galland a true knight of the air.
After falling out favor with high command, he finished ww2 back in cockpit flying the ME 262 until the end of hostilities. Racking up 7 more victories in the 262 to add to his total war tally of 104.
Creation Notes:
I shot this series entirely on my Green Acres sim.
I took advantage of the sim surround & the weather dome to give it the effect of late 1944 European sky.
On this capture all the bombers are actually rezzed miniature B-17s I had in my inventory that were only 2 impacts each. This allowed me to form the 3 full squadrons flying in a combat box formation.
A Final Somber Note:
Flying in the European Theater in WWII was a deadly dangerous business. The casualty rates for the US 8th Air Force was over 26,000 KIA RAF Bomber Command 56,000 & the German Luftwaffe estimated air crew losses were 50,000.
Thanks for allowing this little bit of my boyhood diorama fun!

[Another One Bites the Dust (Queen)] 🎶
Oh! Let's go!
Steve walks warily down the street
With the brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet
Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready? Hey, are you ready for this?
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat, yeah
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust, yeah
Hey, I'm gonna get you, too
Another one bites the dust
How do you think I'm gonna get along
Without you when you're gone?
You took me for everything that I had
And kicked me out on my own
Are you happy, are you satisfied?
How long can you stand the heat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Look out!
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you, too
Another one bites the dust
Hey!
Oh, take it
Bite the dust
Bite the dust, yeah
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust, ow
Another one bites the dust, hey hey
Another one bites the dust, hey-eh-eh
Shout!
There are plenty of ways that you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him, you can cheat him
You can treat him bad and leave him when he's down, yeah
But I'm ready, yes, I'm ready for you
I'm standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating to the sound of the beat
Oh, yeah
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust, yeah
Hey, I'm gonna get you, too
Another one bites the dust
Shoot out
Ay-yeah
Alright
