Tamiya 1/350th IJN I-400


Recommended Posts

I like it! Very nicely done there! Ii particularly like the water - it's a nice change to see it green as opposed to blue. I love this shot:

The water just looks so real!

I've never built a sub, but I have Dragon's 1/350 Typhoon in the stash to build one day (when I get the nerve to start it). Weathering a sub (for me) is the biggest challenge. Then making water? Oh man, I think mine will end up on a stand, but I would rather it go into something like it's natural element

Look forward to seeing more of your sub builds Steve - I think I'll learn something from you :)/>

Yes, how did you do the water? I have one along with my Seatiger and K-19 I'd like to build and put in water.

Would this wokr? Put a sub in actual water but have a slow moving vibrating device built under the base to have the water actually moving. It might only be good for a dock steeing, but who knowa. Just a wierd thought.

Thanks, the water is a product called Creative Papaer Clay available at Michael's craft store. After drying(it will shrink) apply a few coats of Mr. Surfacer on it and paint basic colors with acrylic paints. I then use oil paint for highlights and shading finally applying a gloss medium over that.
