stevenichols Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Hi all, my first post on the submarine forum. Here is Tamiya's I-400 detailed with Eduard's p.e. set. Water is clay and I used oil paint to recreate the water. I also used a paint filter to weather the 400. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Madhatter Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 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 :)/> MH Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ikar Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. Edited May 19, 2014 by stevenichols Quote Link to post Share on other sites
