SD 1943 Yamato ShoeBox Diorama #1

I have been eyeing on this series of SD kits, from vessels, tanks,to F1, the designs always caught my life. As a result, I decided to try out this kit:



I have used Fujimi's Photo etched set on this kit. Nothing much to mention here coz didnt really took any photo for work log.In short is just attach the PE onto the kit, a simple grey tone.

The main focus of this project is to build a shoe box diorama, with a photo frame, to be display vertically as in the classic arcade game screen shot.

Some basic color

The base sea surface: I use Vallejo water effect. As for the waves created by the Yamato, basically is just layer after layer of water effects.
***********************************************************************************************





After about 4 layers, am using enamel clear to create a slightly different tone. overall is slightly more greenish as compared to the deep water.

Just add a little explosion effect..... looks kinda cacat though.... hoho

Getting ready the acrylic board for the walls of the shoe box dio. The whole thing divided into 3 layers for the yamato, planes, and various effects. Let's hope the different layers will bring a satisfying result....
