Airfix 1/350 Trafalgar Class HMS Tireless


Recommended Posts

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 :smile:).  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.

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.

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

Thanks for the feedback beefy.....Next time round I'll give the base an extra gloss layer.

 

Cheers
