Finally, the model was built using WEM AA gun PE parts, TMW generic railing /doors and a specific set for this model. I used stretched sprue was for rigging and Tauro models flags. Many details were modified with scratch built parts; the sea plane was totally scratch built using plastic and PE spare parts as shown in the next two photos (23-24).

The backdrop paint was painted by me as I have realized that an appropriate and good background image can dramatically enhance the look of a finished model. Therefore, starting with my Denmark Strait diorama I will make a backdrop for each and every one of my models submitted to ship model sites. The next figures illustrate some of these elements and provide some additional full and close up views of the finished model. Figures 25-28 shows bird-eye views:

Figures 29-32 were taken from the top portside:

Hi Augusto! A well thought-out and practical special effect technique. Your choice of employing acrylic sawdust is particularly crafty since it won't yellow over time, a crucial factor since we'd like to think our projects will be around a long time. --Karl
