Pirates of the Caribbean : plan

This is another project what I start . Its funny make some figure and don't care any the historical facts. Makes good to sometimes do " brain free works".

I'm trying to get the same atmosphere as Pirates of the Caribbean movies but also put it some own.

This is the second commercial work. An acquaintance of mine needs images of this work. I am glad that this time I can keep this figures. Andrea's figures are very stunning.

The first was a Roman chariot racing. Click to link see Roman chariot racing. and video of the whole project

This is my plan to make this figure. I must need modify sail and mast. I make sales underside from greens stuff. I am not sure put it whit dock or makes it open sea... need think it.

Andrea figures are well made. You can use of capillary phenomenon many place.

Figure need a lot of sanding

Lot of nice deatails.

All parts.

Andrea miniatures Buccaneer, 1645

i order some MANTIS MINIATURES animals. I want add some fish and birds.

Omaha beach, Destroyed M3: plan

Next i begin with three different work. First, I present to Omaha beach: Destroyed M3.

It’s based real photo as Suomussalmi 1941. I started making this scale model in 2012, but never finished it. I am not happy with painting jobs . so is good make it by destroyed vehicle. This is my second try to imitate the photo. I think at much easier than Suomussalmi, because there will be no any figure, only lonely car. Own challenge to bring the burnt metal. It’s is first time when I try that.

I have seen only two poor quality photos. But it’s makes more freedom to do this diorama.

But if some one know place for better quility photos.please send me link.

Axishistory.com is chat room for that two photos.
