Love the snow- creative.

Completed!
Well, the ship is completed. Starting the diorama. I chose to photograph the ship using the plywood I'm about to cut up to build the frame for the diorama as the backdrop.

Questions for the administrators...
Do I move the photos to the completed ship section?
Now that I'm going to start the diorama, should I just continue this feed or start a different one?
Thanks!

Good morning. Congratulations on this fabulous Endurance model ship. I am no Administrator but from a lay persons point of view I would prefer the log to continue with the diorama. Once again well done. Cheers Grant

Step 1 of the diorama...building the base.

Fantastic build!! I've read the book Endurance twice and your depiction of the ship makes the story come to life. Congrats!

Sanded, wood putty applied, sanded again, and handles attached. Now time for the first of many coats of white spray paint.

 

[Kramer]

The box is coming along. 3 thin coats of white Rustoleum spray paint, then sanded, then a couple more coats, then had to remove a couple of gnats, then spot sand, then a couple more coats. I think I have one more coat in the can, then I'll brush on a couple of coats of acryllic matte varnish to protect it.


These are all of the supplies I should need for the landscape. Most from Woodland Scenics.


I got a head start on making some rocks from a rock mold. I only have one mold and will probably need to do this 2 or 3 more times.

I'll let everything dry and cure until next weekend.

Put a bra on those things!

Seriously though, very impressive work.

HAHA! I didn't catch that. Good eye.

I received my transfer cut vinyl decals. A little bigger than I thought they'd, but they look pretty good so I'm going with them. I'm applying a few layers of acrylic matte varnish first.


My first batch of rocks are done. I'll probably need 2 or 3 batches.
