Novel base for a typeseven (1/72)
« on: 27 Apr , 2014, 16:40 »

IMO a clever way to show a 1/72 typeseven in lively water and simultaneously in a usual display style. Don't know anything about the costs but the idea is maybe worth it.

Hi Cap,


yes I agree: A lot of resin and heaviness on the shipping side. Maybe a self moulding solution is the cheaper way. The idea is IMO still a good one.

Idea is cool! I did not check out the price as I think it might be a lot more than I would want to pay but looks neat.
Thanks for sharing the link.

very cool, but I agree, could be expensive and heavy

It would be pretty cool to have the water on one side and stick the CMK interior compartments on the other side.

Hi Mike,


welcome aboard. Here is another idea that I have found:


http://www.modelshipgallery.com/gallery/ss/dkm/u2518-144-jm/jm-index.html


Ok it's a type twenty-one and 1/144 scale but IMO it's also a good idea to present the cmk interior sections on the other side.

Hi Cap,


thanks your are right and I just forget that kit. Revell of Germany offer or offered a cutaway type twenty one. But AFAIK it has resp. had a very basic interior. Maybe a canvas for a super detailer ...

Hi falo
 
The exterior of the revell type XXI isn't overly accurate either!
 
Not novel, but nicely done: http://www.revell.de/en/magazine/01/breathtaking-dioramas.html

Hi Cap, hi Rokket,


keywords "interior" and "exterior": Please follow this link, you will see a very well documented kit build of the Revell typeseven (scale 1/72). IMO nearly every aftermarket set (interior and exterior) was used for the kit. Don't know if this website was announced, so I apologize if I repeat it.

On the end of the page you can find a link to the "construction report" (the english translation of the german text).
