ok, here's some update pics. first ones are of my bunker, the last of the monitor/virginia
-this is how i started the base, cutting a piece of insulation foam to size. in this case i used three smaller pieces i had on hand. i used a small saw to cut, and an a four sided file to shape it into a circle like the base
-next, i traced the outline of the bunker with marker keeping away from the construction glue ( its a bitch to cut). once i get the outline, i score across the area to be removed, and make side and end cuts, to make it easier to remove the foam
-next i test fit the bunker, get the right depth, and plan out where sh!t will go.
-im now working on groundwork details, like the trench walls, made from lengths of balsa. i also have got all structural work on the bunker done, and have done a wash, drybrushing, fading and ware on it and the camo paint, but there's still more to do
these last pics are of the monitor/virginia. as you can see, most of the water work is done, and the smoke from the stacks and guns still needs to be added. i hand painted the water, boats, and the flags. abd yes there are 13 stripes on the Union. tell me how it looks. criticisms and critiques much welcomed
little more in a little bit.
