Wow, I LOVE this dio. The sense of movement and drama is top notch, and I don't even build ship models.  Maybe I should start.

Lets try again to reply. 

So first i tried to use a gel meduim which didn't work well at all. So i went with a resin that i brushed

on. Also i used white oils for water streaks.

Yes to make the water i used Celluclay with white glue then painted it with cheap acrylics.

I did try to use a medium gel to get a water shine to it but that failed. So i used clear resin.

Thanks so much guys, glad you like it!

I am for the most part an automotive modeler and have been for 50 years.  It is work like this that has me hanging around FSM.  I love to see the fantastic work some of you guys put out and this is a fine piece of work.  I bow to you sir, that looks just wonderful.  Your work is top of the line and be proud of your accomplishment.  I appreciate work like this and truly enjoy seeing it.  Smashing old Chap!

Nothing ever fits……..and when it does, its the wrong scale.

To make mistakes is human.  To blame it on someone else shows management potential.

Great job. How did you do the water? Did you use an acrylic gel medium?

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.
