komdgurhan Posted February 7, 2016 Share #61 Posted February 7, 2016 I wonder if displaying it on a piece of beach by the edge of the water would be a fitting way to display it? It seems to be more suited to that sort of display than a typical cradle. Guess I remember this advice from somewhere ...... mtaylor and mhmtyrl 2 Quote http://www.kgmodel.com/ https://www.facebook.com/kgmod https://www.instagram.com/kgmodel/ https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/kgmodel/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhmtyrl Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share #62 Posted February 7, 2016 Mehmet I like the detailing that you have done to give this model a well worn but maintained look, I wonder if displaying it on a piece of beach by the edge of the water would be a fitting way to display it? It seems to be more suited to that sort of display than a typical cradle. Michael Thank you Michael, such a nice idea to make a little diaroma out of it :-) actually this boat is supposed to be still in service; as there are dried sponges, actively used diving gear etc., so lying on the beach will be looking a little strange. I wish I could make an open sea diaroma, as if diver is in the water and the boat is chasing him while hunting sponges, crew working on newly collected sponges etc. :-) Omega1234, komdgurhan, captainbob and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
