I want to ask Nanond: you posted an update with the water, how did you tackle it? Especially the bit of water ingressing into the hull? Why not resin to show some depth? Will you simulate oil leaking or there was non by that point and paining oil film is very tricky proposition? I have many questions. I think your water thus far is very nicely looking up!
The water will be covered with acrylic gel. I was trying the same method used by Marijn. I have no experience with clear resin but I might try it next time. From what I've seen, I feel the depth seen with clear resin is a bit too much for this scale, but I can be wrong here. I did not plan to have an oil slick on the surface. I tried painting the water surface with darker colors to show what might be underwater. It is yet to be seen how successful I am at that.
Yeah, I tend to agree, you're correct on scale and going against resin. I will follow your build with interest as Kure wrecks are also a bit of an obsession of mine (and I discussed that at length prior with Marijn). Id love to add to the trio with Haruna which now sits and waits its hour but afraid it is too much for me currently with my skill level on water.
