Comments
Villiers de VosA very nice interesting and creative way to display your model. Very nice water effects.
Album info
A tiny submarine due to its scale, an even smaller seaplane and a crane to lift it, too. How am I not going to lose all this when it's finished? By making a sea diorama, of course, but it will be so small!!! Since I've never done a sea scene before, I started an adventure and cut out the box and made it the setting for all this diorama. For the sea, I used aluminum foil, then painted it dark blue, then applied Vallejo Water Texture Pacific product on it on some places. I recently bought still water from Vallejo, i'll be dipping tiny pieces of paper into it and making tiny waves as I learned from Youtube, thus enriching the points where the submarine meets the water. Also, the decal Japanese flag is unfortunately broken, I will replace it with a new one, if possible with a thin paper one. After all, it was something different for me that was fun to do.
