mtaylor Posted August 22, 2021 Share #184 Posted August 22, 2021 Nicely done. I hate to ask but is the ammo supposed to be a full belt of tracers?

mog Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share #185 Posted August 23, 2021 The belt was a bit small, the tips are ball (black) Tracer (red) 4-1 ratio, what your seeing is copper (projectile) which looks way to big on the small belt I might go back and just cover the cooper with brass lmagna, Canute, Egilman and 2 others 5 Quote Current Build: Not a ship Completed Builds: Mississippi River Boat OcCre 1:80 Bluenose, Model Shipways 1:48 Rattlesnake, Model Shipways 1:64 Dumas # 1233 PT Boat, Wood, 1:30 1914-1918 US Army Mule drawn Ambulance 1:16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted August 23, 2021 Share #186 Posted August 23, 2021 No worries, mog. Looking closer, I see the difference. The copper looks red to me from here. Sorry about that.

mog Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share #187 Posted August 24, 2021 no worries, I always welcome the comments, as you know its easy for the builder to miss things, that others see, I guess that's why we put it out there. however your right the copper does look red when fully dried, stands out to much. defiantly will go back and give it a relook lmagna, mtaylor, Old Collingwood and 1 other 4 Quote Current Build: Not a ship Completed Builds: Mississippi River Boat OcCre 1:80 Bluenose, Model Shipways 1:48 Rattlesnake, Model Shipways 1:64 Dumas # 1233 PT Boat, Wood, 1:30 1914-1918 US Army Mule drawn Ambulance 1:16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mog Posted September 26, 2021 Author Share #191 Posted September 26, 2021 Just shy of 2 years work, this my first attempt at the PT , I still have to trim out the edges , frame the box and build the case . My goal here was to depict a day in the life of the 105-boat moored at Todd City for minor repairs and resupply. Thanks to everyone for all your comments and support.

yvesvidal Posted September 26, 2021 Share #192 Posted September 26, 2021 Mog, This diorama is wonderful and full of life. It is so realistic that I expect these little characters to start moving. I would have loved to be on that remote island of the Pacific. Yves lmagna, Canute, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckB Posted September 26, 2021 Share #193 Posted September 26, 2021 I agree with Yves. It's very busy and the figures look like you just stop-motioned them while in action. I wasn't around to see the beginning of this, but just now sampled some of the pages. Terrific workmanship along the way, and the result is a wonderful finished project. 👍👍 mtaylor, Canute and Old Collingwood 3 Quote Currently working on: 1/350 Italian Naval Cruiser Fiume Albums: USS Arizona in Build Gallery https://modelshipworld.com/gallery/album/2393-uss-arizona-october-13-1941-by-chuckb/ IJN Mogami in Build Gallery https://modelshipworld.com/gallery/album/2408-ijn-mogami-by-chuck-b/ USS San Francisco in Build Gallery https://modelshipworld.com/gallery/album/2419-uss-san-francisco-1939-by-chuck-b/ Admiral Chabanenko in Build Gallery https://modelshipworld.com/gallery/album/2434-admiral-chabanenko-by-chuck-b/ Zara in Build Gallery https://modelshipworld.com/gallery/album/2455-zara-by-chuck-b/ Varyag in Build Gallery https://modelshipworld.com/gallery/album/2469-varyag-russian-slava-class-cruiser/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
