March 25, 2022That casing might be a bit overkill in size.

March 25, 2022That's how it started. A decoy made from paper.

March 25, 2022I'm not sure, why some pics are upside down. 😠

March 25, 2022So, these Champagne bottles had the perfect lids. Perfect size and shape. Unfortunately this plastic was HELL to work with, nothing would stick to it and sanding them was practically impossible. Very, very unfortunate.

March 25, 2022I really had to force this stuff onto the rib skeleton and in hindsight I should have worked way more accurately here. The result was, that the PS got very wobbly and uneven which meant I had to fill gaps and sand a lot.

March 25, 2022The urge to greeblie is really, really hard to resist. Thus the underside of the ship looks different from its inspiration.

March 25, 2022Creating these was not as easy as it may look as well. The putty was very hard to sand (always clogging my sandpaper) and in the end it always broke somewhere.

March 25, 2022Masking this was hell, but worth the effort. I could never ever have brushed that with a paintbrush.
