Jockster Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Enjoying the thread Beefy, but I keep finding myself drawn to the frame on the bow because I cannot figure out how it works. Do you know how it was supposed to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin56 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Those are very nice effects you are creating there. The rust looks great and the lichen is very realistic. This will be another excellent Dio/build. Great work Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefy66 Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Enjoying the thread Beefy, but I keep finding myself drawn to the frame on the bow because I cannot figure out how it works. Do you know how it was supposed to work? Thanks Jockster not sure about the frame already covered that back in post 140 ish got no reference at all that the thing was ever fitted only engineers plans but all photos show her without the frame so will not be using it I think it was supposed to help guide the torpedo over the protection nets in the dock area Those are very nice effects you are creating there. The rust looks great and the lichen is very realistic. This will be another excellent Dio/build. Great work Keith Cheers Julian will be adding some oil washes to this to get it a little darker in places when I remove the excess scatter when the fixer is dried.

beefy66 Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Small update added some oil wash to the lichen and gave it a thin coat of clear along the water edge to make it look wet still more to add around other parts of the wall Also re-painted the water and gave that a coat of making waves to get that shiny look to it And started to play around with the figures to see were best to place them Beefy 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravens Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 It's shaping up to be a very convincing diorama - the slimy stuff on the walls looks great. Ross. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeKay Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 WOW indeed Keith! That bit of "seaweed" just set's it aside from the docksides you've done before. A brilliant addition to this diorama and I can see some gongs coming your way this coming show season for this and the trawler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefy66 Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 OK been working on some storage and display issues with this project. A good friend from my local model club makes very good bases as he is a joiner by trade of many years. ( well I would like to think of all the club members as good friends ) So I asked him to make me this storage and display box ( BIG BOX ) and one comment I got back from one so called friend when he seen it was were are you putting your Coffin And just for the record I,am 5 foot 7 inches the Coffin is to small BEEKAY Any way will be painting the BIG BOX as soon as I get good weather so can do this outside as it is a bit cooled up North this time of year Also been playing with the rust set again on the exhausts to give a small amount of wear and tear Beefy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
