Not at all gents, it makes perfect sense and that’s why I asked! I’ve decided to go with such sage advice and add some more thick get to ‘pads out’ the bow wave . Thanks boys. The white stuff you see in the foreground will dry clear and I’ve thrown some leave in it for effect.
-
So continuing with the wave experiments, the waves are quite easy to make but I’m kinda working in a vacuum, I tried adding some cotton bud but I don’t like it;
-
Because I want it to look dynamic I wanted to make a splashing bow wave on the port side as the ship rolls in, so using a UV torch and resin moulded over a silicone rolled up mat, it appears to come up ok. Now it’s not stuck in yet and it’s a proof of concept, I think it may work
-
So this is the overall concept, one or two little girls being rescued by a group of blokes in gas masks

You know when you Just lose interest in a project? The PE arrived from Poland and the Resin wheels, so a little bit of paint and done.

All coming together now, all the kit parts are pretty much glued down. Signal halyards run through some fantastic RB models brass pulleys. Railings started, all the ropes are from Ropes in Scale as they are just the best .
-
So Ive started the foam bow wave which I will build up more. Whilst it’s been drying I’ve starred on the decks adding the fittings

So as part of the great lie (the can’t on the boat) which fits into the narrative of the story (yes, there will be a story and hopefully a Dauchund ) I want it to look ok like the is suddenly turning in and stopping so I will now sart building up a bow wave
-
Now the lights! Because the resin underneath has still (and will never go off), I’ll protect the electrics with a new piece of black cardboard with a clear piece over the globes. So the plan will be that the green with reflect up under the green sludge to look like radioactive glowing sludge
-
So now I’ve polished the sides and given it a clear coat, I want to paint up some green slime climbing up the sides, once done I can start the top of the water
-
So I haven’t abandoned her, I took it to a mates to get a base done up. I think I’ll paint the wood to look like old concrete

Red, after a lot of sanding. The top will be white. I’m awaiting some replacement wheels and some PE from Poland.

Now the seats and the hard to align shell

Sigh, Roden kits are a challenge and this one is the second part of our club 1930’s themed group build. luckily it’s not 1/35 but smaller but not easier!
