I call these projects as palette-cleansers between more complicated builds. They take a day or two and just for fun. I have built a salvaged turret like this a while ago, and here is another one of the series: the salvaged battleship bow. Idea is to show something on a very small scale, and with a small footprint as a model but still to convey a sense of scale of a battleship. As a side goal, to practice weathering techniques, hull detailing (plates), and scratch building overall. Some day I'd like to build a salvaged wreck of battleship Mutsu - thus a project like this is also a good practice for the real deal. This is of course fictional - Haruna, was broken up in situ in Kure. The bow was made from resin, cast in a mold of Hasegawa's Kirishima kit that lacked detail and was just sitting collecting dust. No plastic kit was hurt in making of this project! The process turned out fairly simple, and while there is some distortion - it is hidden by the fact that this is, a wreck and distortion is par for the course I guess on a wreck. Inspiration was Marijn Van Gils' beautiful Amagi diorama in Kure, the muted green colors of the lower hull (as on Haruna) and the thick tidal patterns on the hulk all rather fascinating, telling a story of a fallen giant and waste of war. I tried to replicate these features on Haruna's bow here, as well as the brutal hull break - and the interior that is detailed using foil, wires, and some PE doors. I also simulated the bomb damage to the port side. Displayed next to a crane and tugboat - machinery not strangers to the port - the sense of scale hopefully is conveyed well. Perhaps one day it would make way into a proper diorama. Enjoy the pics! / Instagram @Pascalemod Here are the pics:
