It's nice to see a truly original piece and I really like this one.
I agree that a "shoreline" would enhance the base, but seeing as the splash is the background to a superb fig, I can't see that it detracts from the mini itself.
After all, this IS coolMINIornot, not coolbaseornot, Right?

European Player 30-Nov-04 #112356 |  | Rating: 9 Stunning. Absolutely stunning. Great idea, superb execution. But I'll deduct 1 point from the deserved 10 because the base is a little... minimalistic. You could add some pieces of stone to it, as well as creating a water effect on the whole base. But excellent work anyway. |

rex lyver 11-Nov-04 #109820 |  | Rating: 10 This is superb. You've managed to create 'movement' in this piece. |

pitcube 18-Oct-04 #106606 |  | Rating: - Wow! Thank you all for your comments, i really had not anticipated the positive resonance!
but to business: the water effect really is made from woodland scenics, in germany distributed by HOCH, a model railway Scenics producer.
i cut out the floor from clear plastic (a CD tray had to suffer for this) and glued two strips of thiner, clear plastic (i think from a large mini blister) on it, roughly cut into the splash wave shape. then it was heavily covered in aforesaid
WATER EFFECTS from Woodland.
ah yes, when you use it, better use some thin layers as my "much helps much"-approach resulted in a massive Hairdryer treatment as the stuff wouldn´t get clear otherwise (it is white in its original form and clears while hardening)...this in turn led to the whole thing almost melting away and getting a slightly yellow hue at the tips which i had to
paint white anyway to achieve spray... |

tidoco2222 17-Oct-04 #106397 |  | Rating: 9 This is realy cool the conversion works very well and the freehand is nice on the hull.
What realy makes it for me is that wave effect, tell me did you use Woodland Scenics water effects and if so how did you create it.
Awesome. |
