Hi all,

I`m new to this board (although I was a visitor for a while now), and I thought I can share something with you: a diorama I build for an online model building contest, the famous ironclad THUNDER CHILD vs. the martian Tripods: "Come on THUNDER CHILD!"

I didn`t post this here before because the contest was anonymous so that the voting remains fair, but the voting period is over now, so I can out myself, I guess.

Here you can find a lot of pics and a description of my model as well:

http://www.starshipmodeler.com/contest/dio_05.htm

If you scroll down to the bottom of that page you can find several additional pictures!

Comments are appreciated!


Greetings from Germany

Callamon

Welcome to the forum, and your model ROCKS BIG TIME! It's really cool, I mean it!

Welcome to the forum 'Callamon' :D

=D> An excellent bit of work, you say you think you over did the effects on the water, that was the part that drew my attention the most the concussive effect under the exploding FM looks brilliant =D> I don't normally like to see fire or explosions sculpted (some of the ones I have seen look like the FM are firing yellow and orange foam) but yours really works well.
An all round impressive piece of work =D>

When do you learn the results of the competition?

This in an icredible and impressive piece of work. Well done it must have been very hard. I love the use of hair is it? for smoke flowing from the funnels and billowing from the cannons. The explosion is really working for me and I love your variant Fighting Machines. You deserved to win. :a028: =D> \:D/


Bah bah black sheap April diamond spheres, Rigsby, Rigsby, Eight sided Pears.

If you read the article :D it says the funnel and cannon smoke were made from cotton wool and spayed with hairspray. but you are right, he deserved to win =D>

[-X You know you (of all people) shouldn't challenge me over spelling :D

Maybe you would like to tell everybody what 'icredible' is? (a word you used in your previous post) is it anything like incredible? :lol:

I know you put a smiley face. I wasn't exactly attacking you with my spelling mistake point out. Just having a joke. Couldn't resist Spayed because it means something else entirely to what you meant.
You were supposed to find it funny! Sheesh!!! ](*,) :lol:
