colt6 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hi Gentlemen, I'm already on my next project and hope it will end with an success. Lol I saw this picture and fell in love with the scene: And I had an Eduard 1/48 F6F-3 Hellcat leftover and bought a frame in my vacation. The escaping pilot I found from Verlinden So lets make the first cut And dry fit testing Great thing with Eduard are the separate rudders and flaps But its strange, the flaps are not mean to set in a lowered position, so try to build the inside with a little putty The Eduard PE seatbelts are not bad in 1/48. Okay: primered and pre shadow First blue Second blue Decals Weathering with Flory washes, I love them A little jump now, but I think you guys now better than I how to do all this little stuff. Thats so far I'm now As ever: sorry for my lousy english 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol But you know: it's my learning diorama. Anyway, today I bought Water Effects from Vallejo and I love this stuff, I think it work's great: Before it drys it's snow white. I know: I have too much foam! see: I learned something. LolSo anyway, let's start with the pilot! Oh my good! For me 1/48 it's sooooooo small ArnoBTW: Thanks for your nice words gentleman, that really helps!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colt6 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Gentlemen. After finishing the last few things like the antenna wiring and a few wet spots, I declare my ditching dio as finished. Maybe I will try the head and the face once again. My first water dio, but for sure not my last. Must say that it was just fun and learned that next time I will try a different way, so that it more looks like water. Thanks Arno 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackyracer Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Arno, luv it. That water looks very good to me and a great and different dio. Well done. Aaron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulster Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I feel that the foam is perfect. Planes don't float, at least most don't. This action would've happened very soon after impact. So the surrounding waters would still be unsettled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulster Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Feel your pain on the figures. At a recent show the judges told me my figures on my Tiran 5 cost me a gold. So…. it's practice, practice and more practice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
