Float plane!
« on: May 27, 2019, 03:32:25 AM »
Hi friends!
I was experimenting with resin water medium and I was completely carried away...
So, afer a fiew experiment, I was ready to try something bigger...well, do not expect too much, it is only a 1:48 Handriot float plane by Eduard, but I never attempted this before... so, I hope you'll like the result, next time open waters... or a stormy sea... seems like the mairmaidens have a hold on me! :o

Terrific results. If I ever try something like this I hope my first results are half as good!

Beautifully done Edo - having just tried my hands at replicating water effects for the first time, I can definitely say you've done a magnificent job!

Cheers

thank you guys!
on a second thougt, I should have left the resin more transparent: i just added a drop or two of tamyia blue and i almost lost all the shades i painted underneath....
well, time to improve....

Great work Edo!
I know how difficult it is to make water look realistic. As you have said, make more water transparent. You can also dab some of Vallejos' Water effect (2-3mm) to add a lot of depth to your sea.
The positioning of the plane and the jetty is great, too it makes the scene very interesting.
Bye,
Manni

Hello

A very nice diorama, the water is very realistic.
The Hanriot is very well done too.
Congratulations

    Nicely done on all aspects Edo. I particularly like the wood dock, it looks very "real". The plain finish on the Handriot is very fitting as well, and the whole scene very eye catching. Your water is excellent; dark and almost threatening, which matches the mood of the grey aircraft and choppy surface.
   Nicely put together!
Cheers,
Lance

Very nice scene, I never tried to make water but I think it isn't an easy task at first shot and this looks very good.

A nice looking diorama.  Like others have said, the dock really sets it off.
