Thanks a lot Mustang. The procedure for the water was: painting the base (just a foam) with different blues and greens and even some violett (all wall paints), then two or three coats of an acrylic crystal clear gel made by Lukas. Between the first or second clear gel coat the plane, dinghy and safty ring were placed an glued with that gel. ... if I remember right

This is the only pic I have of this process - this is most probably the first coat of that gel

Nice work...the B-2 reminds me of one I saw featured in a modeling mag several yrs ago that won the Nats...really tricked out...

fantastic work!

Well the Esci kit of the Tornie is not the best and I bought it at a flea marked, a lot of pieces were missing. So this Tornie was my experiment painting wood. While painting it the idea envolved to paint it like an old WW1 aircraft. Thats the story behind and thats why I used some WW1 pilots in the pit.

I still have the idea to make an inflight dio with it having the Tornie chasing a dragon but the dragon is still missing
