Spitfire31 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Beautiful model and an especially evocative base! What puzzles me a bit is, she seems to be making speed, judging from the very authentic looking bow wave. But her props are feathered. Is there something I'm missing here? Kind regards, Joachim 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I was impressed at the first glance and all the more so as I looked closer. That's an awesome diorama you've created there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, thanks for your comment. The base is a block of Polystyrene cut to accept the keel of the plane. The surface was then covered in DAS Modelling clay to create the waves. Once dry covered with Deep Ocean A.MIG-2200 Acrylic gel. Wave tops high lighted with light grey and white paint. Main bow wake cotton-wool glued in place. The idea came from an article by Jorge Porto in a magazine style book The Weathering Aircraft - Seaplanes by MIG. I found building the base easier than building the aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Joachim Hi Joachim, yes I had planned to place the aircraft moored to a buoy but in the end went with a more dynamic setting. I normally build tanks and AFV's so blurred tracks and wheels are never used and have never tried creating a blurred prop but been very impressed by others who do. You have not spotted my real mistake - can you spot any crew 😞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socjo1 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) His Holiness Padre, Every Bombardier is always warmly welcomed! Especially with such impressive seascape! It's a pity only two photos. I'm pretty sure your model is worth more photos! Best regards, Michal. PS. Mine is still waiting in the stash together with NH-details photo-etched set...
