Here is the second of three mini dioramas...At sea.
I've tried to depict a rough sea with the lifeboat ploughing through the waves, heading out to the casualty.

I used the same method with these pictures as I did with my J.F. Kennedy's PT109 dio....Simply tilted the base to the sky and let the light do the rest! No fiddling with after. What you see is untouched.

Here's a tip...When taking photos outside, never think the photos look o.k. I did, only to discover 3/4 of them had power cables which run across the field behind us, showing up behind the lifeboat, prat!

So here are the pictures. Too many, but I hope you like them.....

Cheers,

Ron

Don't know why the pictures have appeared before the description, I must have pressed a wrong button!

I think I'm going to be seasick...great dio and exceptional effects, the boat looks good too. To be honest Ron, I think it is ******* amazing 5 star build or a medal or what ever the hell it is now

Thanks Si, grab the sick bag quick!

Your comments and awards are well received, especially when I see the terrific 'boaty' models coming out of your own stable.

Cheers,

Ron

You flatterer...this is a terrific build, the pictures are superb. I have another sunken 1/125 scale U-boat to build in another sunken state, this one is defo going to be sold.

Truely insperational work Ron you can almost feel the wind and waves in the storm 5 stars without a doubt

 

[Wendall]

Amazing work Ron, the boat looks incredible and that sea is so realistic.

Very well done young Ron. Five very well deserved stars.

I recon you could show that and win a gong. As with the first one. Go treat your self and buy a life boat for the other one.. I bet you could sell them to the local RNLI station.

Thanks ever so much for the brilliant and humbling posts chaps. I'm well pleased you like my second offering of this trilogy.

Your comments have spurred me on to complete third. Luckily I'm able to do so, 'cos I covered the hull with cling film prior to siliconing, and the boat popped out a treat after the stuff went off. So I'm able to use the same boat for all three dios.....

Thanks again for your great response - and the suggestions duly noted......

Cheers,

Ron

 

[Guest]

It's so real, that I'm feeling sick with this swell...

Another master piece Ron!!!

Cheers my friend.

 

[Guest]

WOW That's fudging amazing. Well done indeed

 

[spanner570]

Buenas tardes, Polux.....

Thank you for your very kind post. I'm glad you like the swell, but sorry you are feeling sick, mi amigo!

 

[spanner570]

WOW That's fudging amazing. Well done indeed

Sorry Lewis, I was sending a message to our Spanish friend Polux, and missed your post....

Thanks for the approving comments, glad you like the dio....

Cheers,

Ron

 

[Guest]

Amazing result my old mucker. Can you do one for my IMARA.

Top marks from me 5*****

Andy

 

[spanner570]

Thanks Andy.....I'll need more than a single tube of silicone to tackle that beauty of yours though!

I remember you wrote you were thinking of 'doing' a Lifeboat next....You wouldn't go far wrong choosing this Severn Class....I think it's the best looking boat of the R.N.L.I. fleet by a mile.

Thanks again,

Ron

Fantastic build Ron, and thanks for all the explanations about water effects along the way, most helpful.

Cracking mate, absolutely cracking, another 5 star dio Ron, and the photos show it off to perfection
