Thats great Zaf!! How did you achieve the water effects?

[Zafarelli]

The water is an old picture frame The colour is painted, and the waves are done with Vallejo Gel Denso on the glass. The surf around the rocks and the raft are made from cling film, draped around the things on location (actually scrounged from Wargames Foundry, as we forgot to bring our own )

[Silent Invader]

Just brilliant 

[Blackwolf]

Fantastic work

Cling film is wonderful stuff,I used it for my trout jumping out of the water,which was sadly unused...

I am very inspired by this,very

[Centaur_Seducer]

Bloody hell, Jens!

I mean, it looks awful and you should really toss it in a courier pack to Sweden just to get rid of it

[ErikB]

Magnificent!

[Zafarelli]

More work on the boat. I made a new canopy from Sculpey and a bit of Greenstuff, and also started to dress the surfaces with something resembling planking. I'm afraid most of the detailing is lost in the blurry pictures, though

[Mason]

Great stuff!
 

I am used to you making wonderful stuff with 'hard edges' but that canopy shows the many strings to your bow.
Top notch!
 

[Zafarelli]

More or less finished the rear canopy, and started working on the front one.







The fenders will be drilled out in time, and I still need to make some interior (seats, stowage boxes etc.), and worst of all, a new engine. But otherwise, I guess I'm slowly getting there

[uti long smile]

Beautiful!

[Legion1963]

Indeed. A lovely boat. Well done.

[OSHIROmodels]

Great stuff 

cheers

Nearing completion. The connection between the supports and the rear canopy is driving me crazy, but otherwise, progress is good First two molds were poured this evening, so expect a casting of the hull and canopies come Friday.

Whole thing is spray-primed to check for errors (and hide glue stains). Seating is still missing, obviously.

[FramFramson]

Wait, you're casting that? For sale?! 

[Argonor]

Wait, you're casting that? For sale?! 

What else - Zaf does run a terrain/accessory/the odd mini store after all.
