A BIT OF HISTORY

APPROACH & ART CONCEPT

These are the point we want to highlight doing this model: 

• The nose of the Land Wasser should looks like a fish, taking inspiration from the notorious Flying Tiger Hawk we designed this:

• The central spot is great enough to host a led, it is located in the center just above the cabin. We will fix it looking to the rear.
• The crane in this model come disassembled and mounted in rest position. we want to assemble it and fixing in an operation position. Since there is no picture of the Land Wasser with the crane in working position we just guess we can fix it close to the rear.
• The middle windlass will be decorated with string to simulate rope in working position.
• The fore winch to be substituted with and hand made one.
• Color schema should be either blue or green. Propeller bronze or steal color.

STEP.1 - PREPARATION

Spray a neutral color (white) assemble pieces and sand down where needed. When assembling take care there are no overlapping piece so that the color can flow everywhere.

Mask where you don't want to paint with Air Brush.

The border of the hatches have been painted in a metallic color. During air brushing the hatch will be closed so to leave only the inner border in a different color.

STEP.2 - AIRBRUSH AND DETAILS

Partially assemble the top hull and airbrush with a basic color (Green). With a standard brush start with basic effect (Highlight and shadows). assemble and paint detailed components.

Still few details to be completed.

STEP.3 - WHEELS AND MECHANICS

Mechanics are very complex to be assembled, just to have an idea each set of damper (two wheels pair) is composed by 4 pieces.
