I've been working on this one for a while, progress really sped up the last few weeks now that I'm out of my cast. The kit is resin, by Mig Productions, and was cast flawlessly, but didn't include decals, although they are just generic white numbers. I took my first try at applying camo, using silly putty for a mask. The oil lantern is from a Tamiya Churchill, the jerry can is from a 222, and the map is just a paper printout I made. I didn't originally plan to post pictures of it until the whole diorama was finished, but by then, half of it will be submerged in resin-water, so I decided to post pictures now as well. The decals and waterline red paint are messed up on the right *ahem* starboard side of the hull, but it will be nearly entirely hidden by the water and the dock, so I didn't bother fixing it. Thanks for looking, questions, comments and criticism welcome.
Almost forgot: The plates on the sides are scratchbuilt out of scraps of brass sheet "borrowed" from the art room, with pe strips and little plastic nubs for bolts. I realize they probably aren't accurate, but in a wooden boat, some of the crews did whatever they could for some extra armor. Reference photos showed tons of gear piled in and attached to the boats as well.
And a WIP of the dio:
"Scanlon: work your knobby hands on the table in front of you, constructing a make-beleive bomb to blow up a make-beleive world."
