Well here you get a photo of the fish and other wildlife and a step presituacion the boat in place.
Now I have to do the keel that will serve to cover the bottom connection




















Rui want to thank your invaluable assistance to enable him to have built the fish.

are not as good as yours, but neither are very bad right?

Holla Domi!!!

The fishes turned out very good! but please don't forget to make the eyes... use a marker to do it (check my fish, please).
I am happy that I could provide the first fish

A note on the fishes... I thought that you would put them in a "escuela de pescado" (school of fish)... it would have a bigger impact, in my humble opinion. You would consider making a new batch with different size/shape/color and arrange them like that?

The ray and starfish look very good, as is the amphora

Keep working - it's turning one of those dioramas that will be talked for years!!!!!!
Saludos amigo!

Hi Rui

It really make me forget my eyes, there is no problem now is the pinto
With regard to the school of fish do you think you would keep the mailae moving close to them?

Hi Rui
You think so well? I believe that more fish would be too much, I put a few more red and two "big" on the rear left






Indeed, they paint the eyes

Hola
After several attempts this is the state of the keel.
I have tried to represent a mixture of fouling, algae / pasted mold, rust and damage the painting, what would be a boat with little maintenance

Holla Domi!

The fishes are excellent, those bigger ones make a great difference (in my opinion!)
Also the weathered keel/ship bottom looks right on spot!

Keep up - you're almost there
Saludos e bon trabajo!

Hello everyone:

this is already going away, here you get some pictures of the package and assembly, is almost ready, just a few tweaks and what I conclude





























Another thing is to ask forgiveness for the photos, but I became insane, if I go dark without flash, flash reflects the flash and did not see anything on the outside everything is reflected in the glass, finally I did it .. I could, try to improve them.

So any idea you have not please ask say, which is still time to do what it takes

saludos
Domi

Bravo! Bravo! The murkiness of the water means everything. A magnificent job all round.

Holla Domi!

What a wonderful diorama!
A apparent calm, but it is full of action:
- The maiale crew working to place the charge
- The ship crew working, as usual
- The seabed is very convincing and also with action

The tinted class also makes a even more convincing depth to the all scene!

Hombre, que eso está un espectaculo!!!!!
Si puedes, me gustaría tener, al menos, quince fotos para una Feature ... ¿Qué dices, Domi?
Es possible o tiennes un compromiso con algun periodico modelistico español?
¿Cuál es el próximo?

Saludos
