andrewa Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 This is the Coastal Craft resin MTB 234 Kit with Gunthwaite figures, bit of a change of scale for me, and a really tricky paint scheme to get masked... Lots of extra little details here and there, but a nice break from scratch building capital ships. Andrew MTB234-8 67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Swindell Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Nicely done Andrew, interesting way of displaying it with the bow coming off the sea base! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murdo Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Well mate, it have been a really tricky paint scheme to get masked but it was well worth it. The weathering is great with a slightly worn and quite realistic look. Cracking dio and I love the impression of power and speed! Curious, what did you use for the base? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugle07 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 That's outstanding work! As above, I'm really impressed with the sense of speed and movement that the position on the base (or off it) gives. Great Job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cngaero Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 What a tremendous little diorama. It just oozes power. It's a beautifully finished model and captures the look of the original so well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robgizlu Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I like every single thing about it - flawless execution of the boat and the setting is just terrific. Thrice Wow!! Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangor Lad Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Great modelling and a really original display. Convention suggests you should compose your diorama to leave the subject with room to move into. This breaks that 'rule' perfectly! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansReggelsen Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Great model and a very imaginative way of doing your diorama! I especially like how the boat almost seems to fly off the end - it gives the whole diorama a sense of speed! Cheers Hans J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
