Fitchen Foo's Fantastical Fish-shaped Submersible

Post by JonMW »

Finally done, with not much time to spare. The kit is really nice with good fit for being a low run resin kit. Mostly painted in different shades of Alclad copper and other metal colors. I added a small LED to the inside to make it a bit easier to see, the LED is controlled with a small Arduino Trinket to give a random flickering. The base is just some scrap pieces of wood, foam, DAS and rail road gravel, I also added a small 3D printed treasure chest and filled it with gold coins. I would liked to have done a bit more to the base, but time ran out. Sorry for the crappy pictures, too dark at the moment and not really enough space on my kitchen table at the moment, going to take some better pictures at work tomorrow.

:eeek: stunning ... really stunning. I fell in love with this the moment i saw it and you Sir have done it justice. I love the metal effects and all the little details you have put in along the way ... burnishing the etch .... inspiring stuff, what a great effect you achieved with that one.

Congratulations :clap:
