Yeah, there's nobody driving!



Doesn't look like the traditional resin. What did you use?

Nice work, Thomas!

What did you use for the explosions? I'm trying to do something similar --- have started experimenting with expanding foam, but it is a little hard to control.

Keep up the good work!

Regards and Aloha,

Johnny B.

I learned how to make the explosions on a you tube tutorial by a Japanese modeler. The tutorial is an all Japanese but you can get the general idea here's the site
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlVFqb8RTa4 It;s about P.T. 109
I hope this helps you out

Hi Thomas

Call of duty is a computer game (reeealy good one) which has the landing on pelelieu as one of the missions. you can see here how your build really rings a bell to me

One of the voice actor is Kiefer Sutherland, so you can see it as a movie

Great work so far!!

Cheers

I like the composition.

I can't see the video, what you use for the explosion and waves?

I would do something to add some "wetness" to the sides of the vehicle. At the very least, some gloss coat.

Hi Tom, Great Dio! I really like the first overhead photo. I agree with Jesse about giving the LVT a wet look, other than that it is awesome....Vince

Try this site. It;s all in Japanese but you get the general drift
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlVFqb8RTa4 It will show you how I made the explosions

looks good, I like the shells on the deck. One thing that catches my eye is the gunners , not sure if they are just placed there for the photos but they should get their hands on those .50's. Looking foreward to seeing how it goes!
