HMS Belfast on ice

1/350 HMS Belfast (Trumpeter)

Trumpeter's 1/350 Belfast with Flyhawk and Gold Medal etch.  I've also used some NorthStar and Eduard details.  Heading home in icy seas.

Sea was made with plaster 'ice' that was pre-made on a garbage bag with plaster that was spread around thinly.  After it cured, I cracked it and selected pieces and glued them down onto an already completed sea. I wanted to experiment with a somewhat denser field of ice. It would certainly be the densest ice Belfast encountered.  I pumped up the density a bit to add drama and suggest the fields of thin surface ice you see so often in old photos.
