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 Falo
 
That's a lot of resin = a lot of money and it would have to be a big mould, come to think of it postage would big big too  :o

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).

Typeseven and ixc (small diorama, I suppose it's in 1/350 scale):
http://www.shipmodel.com/files/emergency-refuling-at-se-webuboat-dio006.jpg

Sorry falo, 2 VIIs a c and a c/41, probably  Mirage-Hobby, which would make them 1:400, although the description says 1:350 U 96 and U 995, the 1:400 U 295 is the only VII one I know of with Bibers, the VIIC could be either U 40 or U 570.
 
Might be just me but the figures look a little large and could be 1:350
 
Still a good job with the water

Jon

Jon, in fact they are both 1/350 scale. Both from AFV club. Beautiful kits, lots of details, got the two of 'em on standby in a drawer.

Hi falo
 
I think your right about the VIIC/41 with the Bibers, AFV club are not on my stash list, so now I know 2, (learn something new every day), lots of choice for a VIIC in 1:350 although I still think the figures look a bit overscaled to me. Still good work though, I thought the missile launch was a clever and different scene.
All of them have amazing water effects

Hi Gentlemen,


again an outstanding waterwork:

and a typseven-d (Minelayer) with inner sections:

Hi,

a VIIB boat and a diorama in one model kit. IMO a clever idea but for my liking realized in a very fiddly scale (1/700):

Hi falo,
 
Good find, yes 1:700 U-boats are fiddly, I've built a couple of 1:700 U-boats and used their PE radar and anti air guns before on a couple of builds. At least you don't need a extension to the house to build a diorama and they are relatively cheap.

Hi Cap,


o.k. no space problems with a 1/700 diorama but lots of knots and ribbons will decorate my sausage fingers then  ;-)
Joking aside, building a couple of these tiny kits deserved respect.

Hi Gents,


found a review of the above mentioned Flyhawk boat and diorama. It's german but the pictures are IMO very meaningful. According to the author of the review the kit is highly recommended.

P.S.: But again it's the fiddly 1/700 scale   ;)

Hi,


another clever diorama (1/350): a typeseven, a destroyer and one depth charge …

When I was a kid, we used to make little dioramas for ships out of washing powder. If you mix it with just a little water it makes a paste that you can shape and it hardens for painting. Just a thought. ;)
