When my disability flares up modelling takes a back seat as I am just too tired and also worried of making a mess of anything requiring fine work.
So, with the pain a bit better I was getting bored so turned to what I call a no-brainer model.
Yep...a sunken sub model.
I got another Revell U-99 model cheap off a guy on another forum and set to.
As some of you may know the Revell U-99 is a poor kit, loads of injector pins, flash, warped pieces, over thick railings...but for me, this is ideal.
A wash, slight trim and it was put together in 20 mins, no fuss or worry if glue seeped out of a join.
Damage added to railings and some crumpled hull sections then it was slap the PVA on. I did this in sections and then added a very fine sand and just worked in stages until the model was covered.
When dry I then sprayed with red oxide, I wanted to try something a bit different to the other subs I made and did a pre-shade using satin black on the keel and lower hull as I wanted it more dark.
I then took my time and using the airbrush I built up grey and greens, finally it had a coral/beige sponge on the top sections to show sealife growth. Finally some rust was added.
The last thing was a base made of brass and aluminium.
So here she is...number three in the list of sunken subs
Si:)
