Vincent
Very nice!!! Great work on the water effects.

Miguel Vaquero
Incredible Ludwig!! How did you make those waves, they look amazing

Ludwig Micallef
Thanks for the comments lads!

@Miguel - the water is mainly epoxy resin tinted with light transparent blue, let that set and then built up the waves using AK water effects which isn't fully clear when it cures, then finished off using AK water foam effects for the white foam. Along the way I used an airbrush to create the natural shapes of the waves & foam and a damp piece of foam for the bubbles.

Miguel Vaquero
Thanks for the info Ludwig!! Your results are amazing. I intend to create soon a sea diorama with resin too so I really appreciate all this info

Ludwig Micallef
Welcome Miguel! Glad to be of help 🙂

Beautful build and dio! The weathering is really spot on. Congrats👍🏻

The waves and water are particularly great!

I would have bent the propeller more -- unless it landed gear down, slid across the sand and then sunk into the sand. What is your scenario for this scene, Ludwig?

EDIT: nevermind, it matches the historical photo. I wonder how it happened?

Augie
IIR she ran out of fuel

Ludwig Micallef
Thanks everyone!

@Snake - it is in fact based on historical references, bases on what I read the pilot decided to land on shore/close to shore rather than the sea on the way to Malta. I assume it was a controlled deadstick landing hence why the prop is not bent. Another theory is that he landed in the water and aircraft got washed back towards the beach.

Anyway have a few reference photos here if interested
