Many and Many THANKS!

 

   Tankerbuilder:

    Yes, It been take me (on and off) over my model of Britannic wreck for 5 years much same as your model.. too.... but sure it was so worth to do it!

 I used plastic styrene to add on the Hull with lighter to melt it as a bit and look much as metal twist or bends... Sometime I used paper with super glue and let it dry and then tear it .... It look much like force metal tears or something like that... there lot of tricks over on the 'Tear Area' and more, But it so fun to do it!   :)

 Regard,

 William B. Barney

Stunning work William! Everything on it looks just exactly right! Weathered, but not overdone. Fantastic detail level properly done with what appears to be real damage as expected in the wreck. Very creative use of ordinary materials and beautifully displayed and photographed! I couldn't ask for more!! Yes

As for an article in FSM? I would certainly hope so! It certainly belongs there! You have my vote at least, not that I can do all that much. I will steer a few people I know towards this post. Maybe something will come of it? [:D I'm pretty sure the editors of FSM visit these pages from time to time and perhaps they already have seen it? I would love to see a nice center spread of about four pages with your work displayed for the world to see. It deserves it.

Welcome to the forum. Your model of the Britannic is a skillfully created work of the model maker's art at a level at which most aspire to but rarely achieve.Bow Down

Regards, Bill
