Nick,

Your work is amazing! The water and waves looks just like the real thing. And I love the treatment you did to show the hull framing. Is it possible to do this kind of treatment with an RC-hull? One that gets wet for real?

Gr.
Pim

Hi Nick,

Very realistic hull : I appreciate your step-by-step pictures but could you explain what kind of materials did you use (step by step) ?

Thanks

Christophe (from France)

The hand rails look like they're plastic. If so, are the commercially available or did you make them? If so, how?

Hi Nick, I like the lighting especially the way you have placed a blue-white LED on the mast and yellow-white for the general lighting. It looks remarkably like different types of light. :thumbs_up_1: What type of LEDs did you use for this?

I just stumbled on your thread. Wow, great work! Your dolphins at the front are a nice touch. :eyebrows: :eyebrows: :eyebrows:

I do electronic engineering as well - it never occurred to me to use a "dead bug" approach to component layout in a model. I'm just too used to traditional circuit boards. You're giving me ideas! :whistle:

Are you using house current or battery for your lighting?

Good crisp sharp work!


I LOVE to see large scale waterline-- just looks so right!

and you do not need a macro lens like I do! :big_grin:

Hi Nick I have just been discussing with a friend about levels of detailing on models and at which point the detail becomes irrelevant due to it being so small. Here you are building a 1:72 and including so much excellent detail that would go unnoticed at a smaller scale. As I have said before building at larger scale can be so much more demanding than say 1:100 . Great job

Thanks Dave,this is the reason that i love 1/72 scale :thumbs_up_1:
