Rich Diaz
La Porte, Indiana
Launched in 1901, HMS Holland I was the British Royal Navy’s first submarine. Rich detailed a Mikro Mir 1/144 scale kit of the pioneering vessel by cutting open the deck vents, the anchor-chain well, and conning tower portholes, and fitting a 3D-printed chain from SSI. Over a base of Tamiya Gloss Black, he camouflaged the sub with Vallejo acrylics and weathered it with pigments and enamel washes.
