Vallejo model color teal added to epoxy resin. Snow effects to create wave breaking over.

Lots of blue as opposed to red. Couldn’t do both without it turning purple, which would be a terrible waste of $50 in resin haha. I’m going to do the roiling wave crests in red and do some airbrushing to get the red on there the way i want it…i hope 🙂

I checked on this thing routinely for 40 minutes. Went in to the bathroom and came out to a solid plug of resin!! Definitely not 2-3 hours to stiffen up.

Medium and heavy gloss gel. Heavy on the waves because it will hold it’s shape.

His scarf is gray on the real aircraft but it’s red in the comics and that goes with the theme here so it’s just gonna have to be artistic license 🙂

pics are with heavy gel medium so it'll keep it's shape as it dries to clear. Then I'll go over it with white to create the spray from the water. A little water effects to create some pools along the sand and it should be all set. I had an area up top in red that just didn't match the rest. The resin just dried on me too fast. So i added some heavy gel to it. That'll take a week to dry now as it's a thick area.

Today i ordered simulated campfire led's to light the engines with. It's 3 colors that flicker. From Evans Designs. Ordered some straight red ones too just in case the campfire idea is a bomb lol

I love the idea too !
What's the target mission for that sea-parting blackbird, btw ?

Chasing the Lightning Boris! That'll be obvious when I show the final piece 🙂

Wow,wow,wow! Surely you've got to find a way to name the Blackbird Moses.

You guys are great! Working hard to keep the level of execution high.
Hey, the frogs are giving me trouble. I'm looking for some that are really small, maybe 10x15mm in length. If anyone has a link to something let me know

Excellent. Forget the Blackbird, now you need figurines of Moses and some Israelites in 1:72

What a spectacular build Chris! The surface of the blackbird looks very nice!
Looking forward to seeing this one in action 😎

@Chris: "Hey, the frogs are giving me trouble. I'm looking for some that are really small, maybe 10x15mm in length."
Guess you will have to go for 3D printing. PLenty of free 3d frog models in the web and scaling should be no issue; resolution could be...

Many many thanks how much interest this has generated. It sure is a blast to build. I'm working on the spyplane now and I found a site with all of the tail graphics. So now my Dio has a name Snoopy versus the red sea.

In the previous shots I hadn't appreciated the narrowing of the tunnel for perspective. Masterful stuff. 👍

Great work 👍 but: Sorry, the water display, red sand and SR-71 inside are fantastic, but I d not like the frogs (only my personal impression).

Absolutely brilliant! The only way to improve it would have been to use an SM-62 Snark missile instead! 😉

Bughunter, i can appreciate that 🙂 I will say if they weren't a requirement they wouldn't be there but then we would lose the concept. hopefully people find the poses and some of the ones i hid funny 😄

Hey Guys this ones DONE! Posting up my favorites of the finished pics now. Glad all of you followed along and added comments. This was a crazy one for sure. I've decided to take it out to the IPMS NATS this month. At the very least i think alot of people will enjoy seeing it!

Unusual idea. However, I have a question - what causes the tunnel formation in front of the plane?
10 July 2022, 21:54
![](/profiles/img/69735-368-s.jpg)
I'm going with divine intervention , or magic? Whatever flavour you prefer 😄

Hey Marcin thanks for stoppin in and checking out the build 🙂 The narrowing of the waves is meant to give the impression of a great distance. Like looking down a very straight road toward the horizon. The road appears to narrow all the way to a point if you can see a long way off.

NorK I don't think i ever said thanks for the 3d printing idea! Turns out just a couple weeks later we got a printer at work and I didn't have to find someone to print it. Pulled this whole build together. Thanks man!

Album info
So the group build is set up like one of those cooking shows, you have 3 ingredients that you MUST use in the construction of your build. They are the color red, frogs, and sand. I've been doing a lot of water bases lately so my wife suggested parting the Red Sea and have frogs jumping out of the curling wave. Liked the idea and I said well let me look at my stash and see what I have for a plane to part the Red Sea. What better plane to part the sea than a SR 71 blackbird!
