Hi, I'm QDC. What we're about to build today is water explosions. This is not a model kit.
I'm going to build an entire water explosion from scratch and my main ingredient is this
right here. This ordinary silicone caulking used for construction of homes. With this
particular ingredient I'm going to make water explosions. So lets start doing this project
right now.
The first step in making my water explosion is to make the base. What you see right here
is an old sprue from an old kit. I'm going to use several of these sprues to make the
base. I'm going to use my sprue cutter and start cutting away.
Now I'm going to use glue to glue the sprues together.
The structure is completed and now I'm going to paint it white.
I'm going to use this clear silicone caulking for the water effects and for the water explosions.
It's something that I bought from my local hardware store. It's nothing special.
I'm going to use clear silicone caulking and apply it all over.
The caulking that I applied is great but it's a little too smooth. What I'm going to do
is I'm going to use a toothpick and I'm going to start making the caulk look as jagged as
possible.
I'm going to use this Styrofoam board as a sample base for my explosion and I'm going
to paint it blue to represent water.
I'm going to make a hole to place the explosion in.
I'm adding silicone to make the water.
I'm going to use a plastic spoon and start making the waves by spreading the caulking
around.
The silicone caulking is dry now so I'm going dry brush the entire explosion. What I have
in my hand is a brush dipped in white paint and there is little paint on this brush. What
I'm going to do is I'm going to simply, very lightly, brush the white onto the model to
give it highlights.
Ok, so we built the explosion. We painted it, we weathered it, and we even made a small
sample base out of it. And now it's time for me to show you the entire explosion project
from the beginning to the end. Take a look.
So here is the completed model project after finishing everything and I made another one
here as well. Both of these two samples look very convincing and what I like the best is
the explosion itself. It does have a realistic look to it. I think it's going to work well
with my diorama. Please stay tuned for part 9. Like I been always saying when I make videos,
my purpose is to encourage you to build your own model kits so please do. I'm QDC. Thanks
for watching.
