Adichau Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 (edited) Hello Everyone, My first try at making ocean waves. I use my old Hobbyboss 1/72 Sh-60 Jayhawk kit and I modify this by adding rudimentary pilots, open door and a winch wire. The Rotating blades are made by using Clear Acrylic sheet which was masked and painted with RED White and Yellow Stripes. Black was Painted on the bottom in a fading stroke. The waves are made using silicone rubber and Baking Soda. I put two layers and I think it did a good enough job. The base is basic plywood and topped with foam and acrylic putty. Paints used are acrylics through the build. A WIP video is there . . Have a look . . Hope you like it . . Do let me know for your techniques and suggestions.

Jackson Duvalier Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Action dioramas are hard to pull off. Smoke and waves are especially easy to get wrong. I think you've done quite a job at getting them right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
