    Hello dear Friends and welcome back to my channel, In this episode I have made a diorama showing a submarine passing through naval mines. For the submarine I have used the Revell plastic kit “U Boat type VII C” with a scale 1:350. I used cylinder resin stands for the first time in the hope that they would be invisible once inside the epoxy resin. Unfortunately, they are a little visible so this idea didn’t work out very well. I think next time I will reduce the diameter of the stands in the lathe as much as possible.
    I hope that you will enjoy this DIY video.
    Until next time I wish you all the best,

    For the stands you can solve this with 2 steps.
    1) Make the Stands out of the same Resin as the water.
    2) Lightly sand the Stands before application. This way the rest of the Resin will bind to it and make them virtually invisible.

      Another method is to experiment with small batches how the light refracts within the resin, instead of just going with the wind and accidentally messing up your final work

    The stands were made of CLEAR resin, while the "sea" is blue. That's why you see them.
    You could also hang the chains and mines from a frame and pour the resin block upside down (but you'd have to figure some way to keep the sub in place).
    Great diorama anyway. It's very well made.

    • @InobuZ
      @InobuZ 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I didn't see your post but yes that fixes the chain. The fix for the sub is to use wire to hold the sub where the periscope
      sticks out. That wire is a Tee that runs through the length of the sub. He can counter balance it so he stands on its own.
      Pour the resin like you said and its clean.

    I would take the chain, lay them out and then use just enough of the UV resin to get them to stiffen up. No matter how small you make the cylinders they are going to show because they refract light differently. As for the sub put in resin up to the point where it will rest and then place the sub. Because it has an air volume it wont sink much and then carefully pour in the rest of the resin. The rest of it you mastered but one tip would be to use that nifty air brush to blow around the water surface, you will get a lot more random feature and finer features. Otherwise came out great!
    Thinking here, the sub could sink a bit but you could use some fishing line attached to the top and suspended from the top to ensure it does not sink. The fishing line will definitely vanish in the resin.

    • @4THECRAFT
      @4THECRAFT  4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Thank you for your comment and ideas. Initially I have tried to harden the chains with UV resin but they are so tiny that uv resin couldn't harden them enough and the chains were bending. I also thought to first poure a layer of resin and then place the sub on it but usually there is a visible line between the 2 layers and I didnt want this. Finally I also thought to hung everything from the top with a tiny thread (like I have done in my hot air balloon video) but the chains/mines were so tiny/light and it would very difficult to sink inside the resin and keep straight 😖

    • @ScibyTravels
      @ScibyTravels 4 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      @@4THECRAFT I don't think Kevin means to pour a layer, let it cure, sit the sub, and then fill. I suspect he means to just pause to set the sub where you want it, mid-pour. It shouldn't move too much, and shouldn't sink far, and no layer line. Worth getting some cheap sub kits to test out.

      Mines were ancohred by wire, not chains (which would be impossible to get in correct scale anyway), so a thin piece of piano-wire or similar would be a much better choice. You should also make sure to place the mines at correct - and equal - depth (5-15 metres, as no anchored mine would float at the surface unlerss it had drifted off...).

  • @timcarter1164
    @timcarter1164 4 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    Nicely done. The only thing I would really worry about changing, is next time you make the stand out of straws, make sure you color the stand the exact same mix ratio as you're using for the ocean water. The reason they're showing up is because they're clear. If they were tinted the same, they would vanish. If you had poured clear resin as the water without tint, they would have vanished as well. Otherwise, fantastic job. Really good job on the ocean surface.

    Hang the chain with a weight on it so it is absolutley straight. 'Paint' a layer of your resin over the chain so it stiffens and becomes like a wire. No stands needed.
    Also, to make the resin absolutely invisible you need to make it the exact same color as your pour.

      No, the best solution is no stands at all, HANG the ship and poor resin until just below the hang points. Allow resin to partially cure (Time varies depending on resin used) remove hanging supports and poor the rest of the resin. No supports what-so-ever needed!

      Why not just do as he said and reduce the diameter of the stands as much as possible, but also put the anchor chain inside the straw before pouring the resin in? Could help distract from seeing the stand itself and the mines could be directly above the chain, rather than being slightly offset.

    Add a layer of sand to the bottom. Also make the mines out of something that floats like polystyrene balls (as long as the heat from the curing resin doesn’t melt them) or hollow plastic balls and let physics do the work. The buoyancy of the balls will pull a light chain taut...

    Wonderful with one more exception. The "surf" from those screws... That means the screws are causing cavitation and they're not supposed to be doing that. Cavitation causes noise in the water and that's real bad for a sub. Probably even back then. Besides, I doubt electric drive, since only the scope and not the snorkel is up which would imply they were on their diesel engines, shouldn't really be able to drive the screws to that speed even though the screws were old and not, like subs of today, computer designed to minimize cavitation.
