Hello friends, this is the first thread since I arrived here one week or so ago. I like the Scale Models site a lot as it's active, friendly and educational.
I'll build Italeri's LCVP with figures on a stormy sea.
The following images inspired me but I'll never forget the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan.
Only for reference purposes.
Here we go friends.
I had to fix things here and there like the 90 degrees angles. I textured the steel plates by adding Tamiya Extra thin to soften up the plastic. I then dabbed with a stiff old brush to get the surface somewhat rougher. After a bit of subtle sanding it looks more metallic.
The woodgrain texturing was done with a metal file.
The ribs were given a wood structure.
I've added new rivets.
More LCVP works soon.
Best regards ! AG.
