Kerploosh! An attempt at a 1/72 'Splash'

[The Smythe Meister]

Both attempts are first class Ron
Personally,(and probably this will be proved later to be against the tide!),I actually prefer the look of the first effort,
Top,top stuff as ever Sir!

They are both good but there is something extra in the second one that does it for me.
Not as wispy maybe? maybe the bit of colour has added some depth... The extra silly cones on the surface give is a nice touch as well.
Nice one Ron.

Thanks again for the input chaps. All carefully noted and being acted on.

I'm resisting the temptation to have a look on 'tinternet, so please no images of this sort of thing. I want to try and sort it myself - or at least do my best. Along with help from you good people, of course. :thumb2:

I'm glad some prefer the first effort, as so do I! To me, the spray looks better and somehow more 'Sprayee' than the last go.

Seems the jury is well and truly out. - And I'm stuck in the middle. All good fun, eh?

I have one more different approach up my sleeve. Then perhaps try and combine elements of all three.....It's no wonder I get a nose bleed!

I'm another who preferred the first one. I think there's too much colour in the second.They're both brilliant though.

Hi Ron
Both excellent. Both have captured the moment. Both have good and less good aspects.
Personally I reckon the third will be perfect Mind you Mrs Ron must be getting really fed up with - "If you're not too busy sweetie could you please come and lob a couple more models for me"

Personally I like this better than the first. It has the shape and weight of water impacted by a heavy object. The second picture shows it off best. Only thing I think is missing now is a bit of “sparkle” on the spray.

[minitnkr]

I thought it pretty amazing altogether.

[outrunner]

Both are great, but I must admit to liking the first one best.

Just spotted this, very nice indeed Ron.

Ron

Looking very good in either case. I wanted to have a look on a proper screen rather than my phone.

On balance I much prefer the first one, albeit it is a bit 'wispy' in places - but that is being VERY picky indeed.

A great execution as always.

Thanks again for your comments and suggestions, boys.

Here is my final attempt. I've tried to incorporate all your most excellent suggestions in this last stab at the moment of impact as an aircraft crashes into the sea.
It's been fun altering and adding stuff as I read all your excellent contributions.
Thank you.

For better or for worse here it is...












Thanks again for all your help with this exercise. I've learned loads.....:thumb2:

Cheers.

[Jim R]

Well Ron I reckon that is the best. All good but I like this one.

Yep, that's the bad boy all right, you've totally smashed this effect buddy,

that B&W image nails it perfectly.. (probably because we were all bought up seeing B&W pictures of the war in books etc...…..can't wait to see what get's thrown into the air next...)

[stillp]

I agree, that's just about perfect. Great sense of movement.
