Creating Water Effects and Explosions
Here's an interview with the guy who did the Type VII U Boat exploding under water. He shows how he does his water and explosion effects. Worth a watch:

Wow. That's truly astonishing work. I was mesmerized by the lighting he did with the "submerged submarine launches torpedoes"- diorama. Wonderful stuff. Thanks for the link!

Thanks for sharing that, I've been in awe of that sub model since I first saw it , it's interesting to see how he did it even if he doesn't reveal all the tricks.
I was thinking about using that cotton/LED technique to simulate a missile launch with the Scud I'm building but after seeing some pics of the real thing during a launch I decided against it because to do it realistically, too much of the model would be hidden by smoke, not to mention the size of the thing. I wonder if that gel water technique could be applied to paper models, and how they might react... It's definitely something I'm keen to experiment with in future projects. |

I have built a diorama of an emerging sub and I did 2 waterline dioramas of a ship. That sure is doable in paper. Three different techniques:

I have seen his work before, but the video is very interesting. I especially liked the boxing match!
----------------- PK - some nice work there. By acrylic paste do you mean Acrylic Gel Medium? Incidentally, those of you have not seen PK's Thunderchild Diorama go and have a look..... It is worth admiring! Thunderchild vs. the Tripods

Hi Kevin, indeed, that is what I meant. It's a kind of paste you can use to increase the volume of your paint. It also has a white version.

I'd like to find out how he gets the submarines and the explosion effect materials to sit in the centre of the gel/resin 'water' without sinking to the bottom - is this done I wonder by pouring in the first lot, letting it dry and then gradually adding more around items placed on top of it?
