Finally, my favorite photo (33) and the last one that shows how I wrecked the masts and ruined the rigging work that happened while taking the photos I submitted to this site. Although I tried to restore the damaged parts the best I could, still some flaws can easily be observed on the photos posted on MSW, on 10/22/2010.

Hope the above presentation will be helpful to other modelers. To all of them my motto: happy modeling!

Jorge and Augusto Martinez
PS: Born and lived in the tropics all of my life I have to confess that I’ve never seen snow or natural ice. Nevertheless… I dare to make this diorama!

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
