just finished my falklands diorama. hms fearless, hms bacchante and hms active. anybody wanna see?
It is a art form forming waves, many a time mine have...well...lets just say they haven't worked lol. What do you use to create the waves? I use stiff bristled brushes, the back of a teaspoon for smoothing and wave forming with the tip for creating peaks, also use toothpicks/cocktail sticks for flicking up sides of boats etc.\ said:thanks si. i just started using mod podge as well. that gives a good sea effect. ive learnt that less is more when using silicone , as you can see by the out of scale waves on my hms kent diorama
LOL, glad it helped. Sometimes we see our models and think they're rubbish and dare not show them to others even though we want to join a forum and learn etc. Nonsense and rubbish mate, we all started somewhere and had to learn, either the hard way or via forums like this getting good advice and techniques, I for one and probably many others like your work-sometimes even a basic model and dio can give better results than a dio that has been planned too well. Keep up the great models Rob, look forward to seeing more from you mate.\ said:si, thats a fantastic answer mate. i feel a whole lot better about where i rate my work and why i do it. your answer has just hit the nail on the head. you should have been a counsellor mate.many thanks Rob.
