Gunship of the Valley of the Winds

[Comrade Vargen666]

Since I have not so many Zoids to show, I thought it'd be cool to post some stuff I've done on other modelkits.

This here is a 1/72 version of the Gunship from the animé Nausicäa of the Valley of the Wind. My goal was to recreate the blue sand/water world under the poisonous forest. The Gunship officially never visited this place but I thought it was a cool idea. Besides, the gunship from the film isn't red either, he. I reposed and resculpted the seated figure of Nausicäa into a standing pose. And I ditched the little midget that was supposed to be in the back seat. The tree-trunks were carved from insulation foam.

Okay, this one's got me stumped... does it count as mecha or non mecha...

Oooh, what did you use for the water? It looks great!

[Comrade Vargen666]

Cheers all! The water is a product called "Still Water" from Woodland Scenics. I think there are also other manufacturers that make such. It's kind of like a one-part resin (in a bottle) that levels itself. Takes about a day to dry and it can be tinted with inks, paints and what not.

It's effective
