Hi all another small update

Ken,
Great attention to detail

Hi Ken
Submersible with a light is a great idea. Hope you can make it work.

Hi all started weathering the deck.





Must say I'm a bit disappointed Tamiya don't supply and decals with this kit

[Guest]

Hi all added some damage to the superstructure













Trouble with doing a wreck is now I have to find out what the inside of that turret that's had the armour blown off looks like.

Very ambitious project there Ken, kind of a "Drain the Oceans" theme, I like:thumb2:
When trying to depict battle damage to metal plate no matter what the scale (especially the smaller scales) one might consider removing a portion of
area concerned and replacing it with aluminum foil, suitably 'damaged'.

Thinness of foil will reproduce scaled down armor plate and or hull plates with much more accuracy and lend even more realism to your project.
Just a thought.

Jim.

Excellent stuff Ken.
I do like the lighting effect. I did much the same on my U. Boat wreck. Makes the model look all spooky like doesn't it?

[Guest]

Hi all a bit more weathering on this



Anyone see the tiny little sea anemone

[Guest]

Hi all built some more of the superstructure and added some more damage to the decking







I know there is no debris from the wreck in the immediate area but I'm sorely tempted to use some artistic licence and add some.

Very realistic. Showed leigh this one and the citreon with the flat bed me and him like them both, he said on this one " add more whales " lol and he liked and I liked they way you done the mini-sub to make it more relistic.:thumb2:

[Guest]

Hi all well I've got lighting that seems more right scale wise, got another one of these to convert and ordered 2 more slightly different (just for variety) to add.

[Jim R]

Hi Ken
That looks stunning. I've not seen anything like it. Quite a project. Is it turning out as you initially envisaged it?
Jim

[Guest]

Not yet, but I live in hope.

[james pithouse]

Dio looks great ken. One light will do, too many lights will spoil the dio, it makes it look more eerie with one. two or more will spoil the look off it, but that's me ken. What do i know have not done dio before.

[Guest]

Hi all well I still thought the sub was a little over scale so I've cut it down as much as I can, I've also added 2 more and added a bit more superstructure.









I was thinking of adding another light, do you think that would be too much.
