I haven't posted this project since last year. It's a monster project. I decided to make it an ongoing project with annual phases.
Last year's phase was the table, structure, and flight deck. This year's phase was the waves/ocean. I was really stuck on how to do them. Foam and sculpting materials were options, but I ended up using fabric. I asked a friend, who's a quilter, about working with fabric to create wave shapes. She suggested using fabric stiffener, which locked the folds in place. Lots of painting and many gloss coats later, here we are... The waves are sturdy enough to support small vehicles without collapsing. Next year's phase will probably be the tower. It's thrown together for now so you can have a rough feel for the finished look. Last edited by Clockwise; 03-01-2019 at 08:54 AM.. |

Holy cow! That is massive! You did an excellent job on the waves. It certainly communicates movement and not simply a static poses. You should definitely give a more detailed tutorial on how you did this.

You might want to let the Master at Arms know there’s a lion loose below decks!

Thanks, guys.
I only took one WIP photo. It shows the fabric (an old sheet) stretched and stapled into place. One I got it into place I sprayed it with the fabric stiffener, then hit it with paint, paint, more paint. Then lots of layers of gloss coat. It's a sea lion (couldn't resist).

Wow!! I wish I had the time, money, space, and skill to do something of this scale. I'm so jealous.
