Wrapping this one up. Couldn't sleep so put some decals on this morning. Need to finish decals, do some touch up paint, and weather. I'll weather this one pretty good because I had an accident with the paint that is corrected but the area is noticeable. Nice kit, typical Tamiya.

Too funny. I'm working on same kit and had to fix paint but it's noticeable so I decided to weather it hard too!

So I attempted my first diorama with this kit because of my mishap. I used AI to give me a sky in the background, everything else is my work. I've also included the photo this is based on. Hope you like it. Open to criticism.

You did that water and beach? Would love to see how.
I painted the board blue, green, and black-splotches. I used resin and added blue, green and a drop of coffee colored ink. For the waves it was mod podge glossy applied liberally and used the airbrush to blow it to simulate waves. After that hit some of the waves and areas that would have foam with acrylic paste. I have since learned deep pour resin would have been a better choice. The beach is just pebbles in mod podge except the large rock I made from styrofoam. It was fun learning to do this and I learned from my mistakes so hopefully next one will be better.
