[Piet]

It will be on top of two life rafts so some Weathering was needed

 

[Iron Mike]

Subtle, but effective.

Life Raft,

The basic shape made from Evergreen plastic and i used two part putty to make the rounded sides.

Need 4 (wil make resin copies)

Still needs eyelets and the rope on the side and straps these will be added after casting.

Forget the previous raft.
Yesterday i found German drawing of one …..and it has more detail and better looking.

I went so fast that i did not take any pics of the built (was done the same way as the other one)

[Piet]

Resin copies,
Still to add are the eyelets and ropes.

Going to look good with some paint on it.
