amateur Posted May 13 Share #218 Posted May 13 (edited) I don't know whether or not MSW has a 'model of the year'-competition, bus as far as I'm concerned, this one is a very, very serious contender. What a very convincing model this has become: camo, al the dirt and rust, the sea, the depth-marks, the deck-personnel, the antennae. I can look for some time at these pics and see something new every time.

Keith Black Posted May 13 Share #220 Posted May 13 (edited) This is as good as modeling gets, an incredibly stunning image. It's like you hit the pause button on a video. I am in awe.

king derelict Posted May 13 Share #221 Posted May 13 A spectacular result. One of the very best I have seen. I think the water running down the side of the ship looks impressively realistic. I may go and take up knitting. Alan Canute, Jack12477, Egilman and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egilman Posted May 14 Share #222 Posted May 14 Now this is what modeling is all about.... She looks real, a captured moment in time... Dawn Patrol; Just departing Scapa into the North Sea, the sea state is changing into the rolling waves of the open ocean which are beginning to overpower the relatively sheltered water of the anchorage channel..... Several patrols done going out for another... Appropriate rust with fading and failing camo paint... The only thing left is imagining the impossible to model fog.... You need to get close to see her wear and tear, from a distance she looks well apportioned, ready for anything, an imposing force ready to meet it's destiny... Getting ready to signal the rest of the squadron..... This is on the extreme end of well done brother.... Superlative in everyway.... A contest winner for sure.... king derelict, RGL, BANYAN and 5 others 8 Quote Current Build: F-86F-30 Sabre by Egilman - Kinetic - 1/32nd scale In the Garage: East Bound & Down, Building a Smokey & the Bandit Kenworth Rig in 1/25th scale Completed: M8A1 HST 1930 Packard Boattail Speedster M1A1 75mm Pack Howitzer F-4J Phantom II Bell H-13's P-51B/C Temporary Suspension: USS Gwin DD-433 F-104C Starfighter "Blue Jay Four" 1/32nd Scale Terminated Build: F-104C Starfighter ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote: "Relish Today, Ketchup Tomorrow" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rik Thistle Posted May 14 Share #223 Posted May 14 Greg, So much to take in and enjoy, thank you. I don't know where to even begin looking! I'd buy a 'How To Build' guide book in an instant..

yvesvidal Posted May 14 Share #225 Posted May 14 RGL, would you mind elaborating on the techniques you used to finish the water, especially the wakes and foam? This is by far, one of the most realistic piece of ocean I have ever seen. Congratulations.

RGL Posted May 14 Author Share #226 Posted May 14 (edited) I used AK foam added with a brush, layered over 2 days to get thickness, and spackled on to make it look like spume (the lighter stuff) . Then when dry I used clear resin over the top to make it look wet Edited May 14 by RGL Egilman, Canute, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted May 14 Share #227 Posted May 14 This so over the top and lifelike. Incredible. Makes me think about giving up modeling and go live the life a monk in a cave.
