Thanks, Choppa. You like ships too? Check out my Ark Royal album...

I pretty well like it all to be fair, sci fi, tanks, aviation, figures, dioramas, the weird and the unorthodox 🙂
Sea scapes are particularly interesting, modelling something as elusive as water, very clever 🙂

Myself I also have a broad interest, having built ships, planes, tanks, a train, bikes and animals. The water in this diorama is made with tinfoil, Vallejo Still water and ecoline paints, the waves are made from silicon kit and painted white. Because of the tinfoil it's all quite shiny...

tin foil is a neat trick, one idea I had if you have a vac former is make a mold of the water scape and then vac form a clear blue plastic surface and paint it with semi transparent paints and illuminate from underneath to get those water caustic reflections on the side of the hull 🙂

I've got a collegue doing vacforming but that's getting a bit high-tech to me. With my CVN-71 kit came a readymade waterline plastic foil, but still I painted it matte because it is in fact too shiny while having all those waves on it.

Album info
A diorama with three ships in small scale on a large waterline plate. Some scratchbuilding had to be done to get the ships in the right shape because of old kit dates or anachronisms.
