Adichau Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Hello Everyone, My first try at making ocean waves. I use my old Hobbyboss 1/72 Sh-60 Jayhawk kit and I modify this by adding rudimentary pilots, open door and a winch wire. The Rotating blades are made by using Clear Acrylic sheet which was masked and painted with RED White and Yellow Stripes. Black was Painted on the bottom in a fading stroke. The waves are made using silicone rubber and Baking Soda. I put two layers and I think it did a good enough job. The base is basic plywood and topped with foam and acrylic putty. Paints used are acrylics through the build. A WIP video is there . . Have a look . . Hope you like it . . Do let me know for your techniques and suggestions.

jesTer Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Very nice! The ocean waves came out very nicely. Really like the added details like the flares too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spejic Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 This looks very dynamic and the support of the helicopter is well hidden. It really looks fantastic. But using baking soda was a mistake. It's going to yellow, and it decomposes into a nasty goo in time when it is mixed with paints or glues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The easiest way to explain it is that baking soda is a base—it’s alkaline. ... Baking powder is a mixture of baking soda and a dry acid, such as cream of tartar, and perhaps some cornstarch to help keep the two separate and dry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is even less stable because it has multiple ingredients meant to react with each other. It will have a reaction just from the moisture in the air. Here's a thread about some people's long-term experiences with models built using baking soda: http://cs.finescale.com/fsm/modeling_subjects/f/19/t/84838.aspx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crackerjazz Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 The waves are, indeed, very realistic. You can almost hear and feel it -- really amazing work : ) i have a lot of back-reading to do -- you guys have been very productive the past year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
