discussion Vintage Airfix GB - HMS Fearless Diorama - Completed

[pjgtech]

See attached photos of this build, it was very enjoyable.
The base was basic foam board.
I then glued water colour paper on top of the board (pva)
I then painted the sea colours (light blue, medium blue, dark blue, white, black and green).
I used an Ammo Clear Water gel for the water effects.
Pictures showing progress from start to finish....

More pics.....
I wanted to add a large sea buoy as an added point of interest.
First attempt was way too large.

Second attempt was better, also added small chains for mooring...

Final batch of pics.... Cheers

Looks great Peter. The water is first class, you must be well chuffed with that. She has scrubbed up well for an old salt!

 

[pjgtech]

Yes, quite pleased, cheers

That really is an excellent piece of work Peter. Very impressive and so much attention to detail.

Really well done.

I feel bad for not having followed this- quite spectacular!

Brilliant, Peter! As I said in the build thread, I really enjoyed the build process. Fearless looks awesome, and the diorama brings her to life. Excellent work on the water effects, you've done a great job.

 

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Well done Peter. You have really developed your skills with this one. The water is amazing and the weathering, the rusting in particular, really takes it to the next level. I even think the brush painting adds to the used look of the ship. Your best model to date.

That is really quite something. It's difficult to remember it's a vintage kit.
