own words to describe the project:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I ordered some of your great models some time ago, to be used as &#8216;Paper Panzers&#8217; for various projects. <\/p>\n<p>For the last few weeks I have been working on a project, which was just meant to be a practice diorama to try out water effects &#8211; seen on YouTube &#8211; using very cheap clear bathroom silicone and various plastic cutlery!<\/p>\n<p>However it grew arms and legs and I was so please with it all I entered it at this year&#8217;s IMPS Scale Modelworld, Telford which I attended with my club IPMS Edinburgh. Have never entered anything there before, and was amazed and chuffed that it won a Bronze medal in the Misc Dioramas category. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s called Kreuzberg (Landwehrkanal) 1952, fictitious of course, and along with your Magnus and Wizard, it also features two boats from TheScene UK and Plastic Soldier Company vehicles and soldiers\/ crews plus a Skytrex Kubelwagen.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the link to the YouTube videos for the water effects, there are 2 parts. <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IFOpc8Q6a7M?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6wtWCKsx30I?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>As the scale for mine was smaller, I just scaled down the type of tools &#8211; to smooth down the first layer I used one of those little ice-cream spoons (flat &#038; square) but a bit of flat plastic would do. For the rough waves &#038; wakes I used a rounded button stuck to a plastic tube as a handle. To get the finer edges or around the wooden posts I used a cocktail stick. I did a few test bits on cardboard to get the hang of it. Rather than use the silicone &#8216;gun&#8217; nozzle I squirted it into a plastic container.<\/p>\n<p>Thin coats only! The base surface was amazingly easy, I used kids poster paint from The Works, a scrubbed mix of greens, brown, blue &#038; black bits for depth. White paint just below the boats&#8217; bow waves or rough water. The silicone dries quite quickly so you can do the waves after a few mins. I thought the top surface was a bit matt, so gave it a coat of enamel yacht varnish (Vallejo gloss varnish or Johnstons Klear won&#8217;t stay on!) The varnish left a slight yellow\/brown tinge which was fine.The project took a few weeks but was great fun.<\/p>\n<p>All very cheap &#8211; a few quid for the silicone &#038; &#8216;gun&#8217;, Slaters embossed plastic for the dockside road, and second hand bits of a railway farm building broken up for the building fronts. Concrete flood barrier\/bunker thing was balsa wood &#038; PVA\/ sand mix for rough surface. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Ashford-Smith recently sent some photos of his project, repurposing some of our 15mm SF vehicles as German &#8216;Paper Panzers&#8217; &#8211; a bit of speculation on the idea of German post-WW2 hovertanks.
