Miguel VaqueroProbably, my most ambitous project yet. Im going to try and recreate a sinking of a submarine with depth charges, droped from a destroyer. Everything in 1/700 scale. For this, i bought the Battle of the Atlantic set, wich comes with a J-Claas destroyer, a type VII German submarine and a Short Sunderland amphibous plane.

Miguel VaqueroWelcome aboard guys!! Happy to have you along.
Of course Jay! There's always room in my ships😁😁

Miguel VaqueroSub already done! It was small but detailed. The PE parts were really a challenge. Some weathering it's all it's left.

Miguel VaqueroToday i wanted to work on how i want my diorama to look. So i hoped on blender and downloded some free assets and placed them together to see how i want it to look. I think for the quantity of resin and the accuracy of the scene this is going to be more or less the final desing of my diorama.

Miguel VaqueroStarting with the destroyer. Awesome detail too but a million tiny parts. Good challenge for sure

Miguel VaqueroI don't know if I'm going to finish the Sunderland😞😞. The fitting between the fuselages is too bad and fragile, using putty is not going to do the trick this time cause it will hide a lot of the nice detail and I will not be satisfied. I'll think about how to do it but there's not much hope now😓

Miguel VaqueroTo get my mind of the plane. I decided to destroy the sub.it turned out perfect, as I intended

Jay DubyaNot really where you are headed with your diorama, but this might give a bit of context to my 'historical' comment Miguel.
"A Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Sunderland (of No. 10 Squadron) made the type's first unassisted kill of a U-boat on 17 July 1940.[3]"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_Sunderland
Flying Porcupine
"Two examples, in particular, stand out: on the 13th of April 1940, a Sunderland operating off the coast of Norway was attacked by six Ju-88C heavy fighters – the Sunderland shot down one JU-88, damaged another so seriously it had to quit the fight, and drove the rest away.
A 1943 encounter with JU-88 was even more savage when a Sunderland from 461 Sqn RAAF was attacked by eight JU-88C long-range fighters. Despite the Sunderland being heavily damaged with most of the crew wounded, the Sunderland downed three attackers, damaged and drove off the rest and made the 560-kilometre return journey to Britain where the heavily damaged aircraft was beached at Cornwall."

Keep up the great work on these tiny models.
Cheers
PS The nickname 'Flying Porcupine' was probably just a bit of allied propaganda as there's not a lot of evidence the Germans ever referred to a Sunderland as one. It's a lot like the Japanese with the Beaufighter and Whispering Death.

Miguel VaqueroThanks for all the info Jay! I really appreciate it. And they could fit very well with this diorama. They actually performed anti submarine operations from GB and they actually sunk 6 U-boats.
I'm sure if I'm able to fix my Sunderland, I'll paint it with their colours. I loved their history
28 October, 18:32
Miguel VaqueroI've already glued the U-Boat to the acrylic sheet. As the background for the diorama states that the aft reserve torpedo exploded, to hide the cables I made some bubbles coming down from the exploded compartment. It's not the best but it's better than to have some cables seen.
4 November, 11:46
Miguel VaqueroThe acrylic sheets mold is done. The ship is now lifted with nylon cord to place on to the resin without sinking. And the u-Boat is secured in the container.
Next step, the resin pouring. I've never been so nervous about a model.
4 November, 14:18
Miguel VaqueroSome bubbles formed. Not the best result, also they are positioned in places where some bubbles would be formed. Overall I think it turned out great.
4 November, 20:07
Miguel VaqueroThanks Jay!
That bubble on the bow is killing me. It's right on the surface of the resin but I don't know how to get rid of it, and if I'll make it worse if I try something
5 November, 18:28
Miguel VaqueroThanks a lot guys! There's still some work to do. But it's getting there.
I've made the form of the waves with some acrylic gel. Let's wait for it to dry and then to make some foam
5 November, 20:59
Miguel VaqueroThanks Guy!
I ended up making and painting the Sunderland, flying the colors Jay suggested. The end result, I think it's salvageable. I'm wondering if I should put it in the diorama. The downside is ill have to stick it with some transparent acrylic rod. It's going to be visible but not too much. I think if I mask the bottom part of the rod, the one closer to the water, as a droped depth charge from the porcupine, the result might not be bad at all.
What do you guys think
6 November, 18:04
Jan PetersVery cool set up, and very ambitious. You're a braver man than I.
Love the effect of the explosion, very convincing.
6 November, 18:12
Miguel VaqueroThanks Jan!! Im not really brave, I was really really scared 🤣🤣. Its just a matter of trying and if I fail well, from everything we learn. In the end it turned out great, so that is that.
It's really great having all the support from all you experienced guys. I've only been modelling for a year or so, so your comments are really encouraging
6 November, 20:22
Miguel VaqueroTesting the Sunderland. What do you guys think. I'm not sure If I loved or hate it
7 November, 19:42
gorbyI like it, I think it adds another element of interest (mind you I reeeeeally like the Sunderland so I might be biased). 🙂
I just want to comment on the how you've done the surface of the water - excellent, particularly the effect of the exploding depth charges.
8 November, 07:34
Miguel VaqueroIt really does add a lot to the scene Gorby. I'll have to think thoroughly but I'm starting to like the diorama more with the Sunderland in it.
Also thank you and thanks Mr D for you kind words! The good thing about this diorama is that it really doesn't need any special abilities. It's as simple as it can get and it will give you a great result
8 November, 18:36
Mr DIt's has plenty of life to it 👏👌.
How did you get the bubbles in the right place 🤔??
I am starting a Diorama once l get my next build sorted, lm trying to rap up the X2 projects I'm working on and then l start my Mi-8 it's going to be part of a Chernobyl disaster Diorama, l have the damaged power station ready for paint,
I would like to create explosion n smoke like you have done here and LED.
Nice work 😀👍

Villiers de VosThis is epic. You manage to capture the observer with your dynamic and realistic scene.

Dave BurgessI was SURE I'd posted this YEARS ago (back in 2017 when I completed it), but I couldn't find it ANYWHERE, so here it is (again). I did manage to post it into the Plastic Model Builders Facebook page.

Stéphane JayetPromising kit replacing glue by screw in many cases, but there are some moulding issue, so parts have to be well prepared.
16 July, 11:27
Stéphane Jayet@george, during my vacations for 2 weeks I installed some books on it and it is now almost ok
10 August, 14:59
bossy122How will you do the black pinstripe? That is what has always kept me from trying this kit.
12 October, 06:42
Stéphane Jayet@George, I like this engine as well, and I don't remind a kit where the belts are really belt (not plastic formed with the pulleys).
12 October, 11:48
Stéphane Jayet@bossy122, frankly speaking, I don't know yet. 2 options on the table : option 1 is to cut the decals from the box, option 2 is to do some masking (using tracing paper on the original decals). Option 2 is my preferred option so far.
I already painted the body twice because I had some issues with the masking tape (removing the paint), so hope it will work at first try....
12 October, 11:53
bossy122Can you copy the kits pinstripe then print your own? A little white on one side and a little yellow on the other, covering up any tapes leaks as well.
13 October, 03:03
Stéphane JayetHello, I made a kind of combination. Since I was afraid not to get the same yellow colour, I printed the pinstripe on white decal paper, when cutting it I let a small part of the white to have it clean. The difficult part was to have no white on the other side. I had to cut and redo couple of times.
Unfortunately, I realised later that I should have done differently as it was very difficult /impossible to have the large black part parallel to the pinstripe....
22 October, 09:03
bossy122Shunko made decals for the Tamiya kit, but of course, they're no where to be found.
