Copper plates were made from individual pieces,that were weathered and glued on.The nails were made from copper wire ,cut to length and one end sanded flat.Holes were then drilled into the hull and the nails were hammered in for a tight fit.
New pics of the Victory storyboard diorama.
I was playing around taking pics of my Victory model tonight trying to make it look like the title says "Drumming Daybreak." The rising sun,a plain old 60 W bulb stood in for the sun.
I am quite pleased with the pics considering that Victory is now in glass case which makes taking pics very difficult during the day due to reflection.
I am very happy that I went with the wood/brass look as it seems to get a richer patina over time, unlike paint which tends to deteriorate.
John, i think you capture what is meant by a model, a snapshoy in time. However you manage to include depth and texture with your photography (another hobby ?) .
a very nice model and photographed perfectly.
thankyou.
