Tsi Yuen, S-Model, 1:700


Recommended Posts

My first venture into 700 scale. Always was afraid that it'll be to small for my fat fingers. I managed somehow. There is a plan for a small vignette, but just in case this little thing won't survive my attempts at making water... pictures now :)

Thanks a lot, its always nice to read comments like those. Next one will be better I know where I went wrong and I'm trying not to make the same mistakes twice ;) That's my concept of water....

Rigging is made out of stainless steel wire 0.06 mm. Your Carpathia is way bigger scale so you can go with brass 0.1 or even 0.15 or use some of that uschi stretchy stuff. The only downside of it is that's flat and you can't do any losely hanging cables.

 

As for yellow it's a 50/50 mix of Tami yellow with wood deck tan no idea what're the numbers I'm nowhere near them at the moment. Later highlights done with the same mix plus white.

What a wonderful weathering work in 1/700! The keel is so appealing that closing inside a sea diorama it's a pity!

Anyway if you want to replicate the sea,  I think that the movement waves you have designed on paper are too wide. 

Try to find some photos on the web and compare with your idea. 

Cheers. Franco

That's just the general layout, but you're probably right, especially that this thing could squize 15 knots... tops ;) 

With the wave pattern you've drawn, I reckon you've got her doing about 10 knots...sounds good to me.

Learn all about it here.
