  • hey man how would u get ur ship to set into the diorama? cut it out and then do the waves? this makes me want to buy a good ship model and make a diorama. never made one but thanks for the video. btw never stop ur work u are a genius

  • @zuse121 it really depends on the model, if you have a nice model ship, it may come with a "Waterline Base" which instead of a shaped lower hull, it is just flat so that you can mount them easier. But most ships come with the bottom hull fully intact. My HMS Hood came intact and I had to make a very deep base for it. I just filled around the hull with cardboard untill I got the waterline where I wanted and just did a really good job connecting the pieces together.

  • @Akademee thanks very much man. i just have one more question. would u be willing to make a tutorial of how to fit the ship and then make the diorama. very much appreciated

  • @zuse121 sure, I am making another video right now, but I can probably get that out soon

  • great vid brilliant how you can get a realistic effect for such a low price.

    one thing you might want to try is after the dry brushing put one more coat of silicone to regain that gloss look.

    once again great vid!!

  • @182jcpt I always thought that sea foam was a bit on the matte side. but if you really want to preserve the shine, you can get some acylic gloss artist's medium or floor wax to "re-shine" the surface

see all
