Barrie Durrant Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) Hi all Having spent many an hour browsing through the top quality and thoroughly inspiring builds on display on Britmodeller, I thought I would take the plunge and share my recently completed Airfix 1/350 scale Trafalgar class submarine, HMS Tireless. I converted this to a waterline display, which took a little fettling to get right (well, to my eyes anyway ). The sea base was made by following the technique of another Britmodeller member (Thanks to Swordfish Fairey), which utilised an A4 photo frame stippled with Vallejo "water effects" and then some "Foam snow" for the white water. Many thanks. Edited August 18, 2017 by Barrie Durrant problems viewing pictures 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrie Durrant Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 Hi all Apologies if the piccies are not showing. I used Apple Cloud to display them first time around, and although this seemed to work at first, they quickly disappeared for some unknown reason. I replaced them with links using google and they are still showing as far as I can tell. Any help or advice on the best way to display pictures would be much appreciated. Cheers.

beefy66 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Great to see the photos now and it looks great only thing I would suggest is the water looks a little flat like a matt finish I use Halfords clear coat lacquer on my sea bases to give it a high gloss finish a wet look if you like beefy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
