crazyjim Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Dominik - please stop posting your builds/dioramas. I can't stand it anymore. Unbelieveable details in books, aquarium, etc., etc. I wouldn't be surprised if you said the TV works. Unreal and beautiful. But I have a bone to pick with you. If you were in FLA, why didn't you stop by and say hello? How did you do the water and the surfboard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 This is a wonderful build and posing for the camera! The dirty dishes took me over the edge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominik Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 Thank you Mike - was a great day to make photos. Dominik - please stop posting your builds/dioramas. I can't stand it anymore. Unbelieveable details in books, aquarium, etc., etc. I wouldn't be surprised if you said the TV works. Unreal and beautiful. But I have a bone to pick with you. If you were in FLA, why didn't you stop by and say hello? How did you do the water and the surfboard? Sorry Jim! That trip was years ago but i always must think about it. It was great...If i will travel to FL again, i will send you a mail and say "Hallo"! And sorry again for posting it - its not my intention, to damaging your health. But if it consoles you: the TV doesn't work Wich water do you mean? The water under the jetski is out of this Kit: There is a pre-painted base inclusiv. The water on the diorama i had made with silicone and pencil. To give you a tase, here a picture before and after build the surfboard: upcoming wip-details from the board...

Dominik Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) Thank you buddies! here i go with the finish of the surfboard: Well, I made next to the fin before i made the final paintjob. For this I took a peace of styrene, 1mm thick rough on it and paint me the form I imagine Then really generous cut and sanded according to my traditional methods... Now I have robbed the fin in strength, in which I do at my table edge for better lifting I sanded flat ...... ... Corrected again and cut to length: ... So I can fix them better on the surfboard. So, not glued or less blunt. Edited October 2, 2011 by Dominik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
