Okay.
I guess I am the first posted entry to this "GB". I'll work on it till the Aces GB gets underway.
I guess I love a challenge. My intention is to make it a diorama "in the water" just as in the photo. I've gotten control surfaces in order to hack them up to make a skeleton of them and a cockpit kit to goop up with moss and other thingies.
I've scraped the cockpit walls and am forming the stiffeners to mount the cockpit pieces on. I flattened the rocker arm case on the undersides to attach push rod tubes. I'll paint the whole thing silver then us a salt resist to get the paint to look sluffed off from being in the water, my "plan" anyway.
So plenty of scratch build and mods. Lots of dirt and mud!
I just tried to add "After the battle" and it wouldn't let me........
Gak, I'm not sure how much you will learn, but I do hope you see something you can use. hawkeye2an, I just did a google and it came up with some stuff, Woodland's "realistic water" and will look into that first. So it's a starting point.
Have had a look, and it looks like what I am gonna want. Thing is I am going to try and make something about 10mm, 1/2", deep. It's got to be pretty muddy at the bottom and a little brownish clear at the top. Layers would be the best way I am guessing. I'm a bit excited about giving this a go!
Now thing is, is it available on this Island called Australia?
I bought my last batch from Amazon.com even with shipping it was $5 cheaper than buying it local. Not sure how much shipping would be to you, but might give it a try.
