Responsibility details are not available.
A sea mine is a rewarding object for a scene: it has a strong silhouette, it conveys the theme at once and it suits everywhere you want to call the war at sea to mind without building a ship. The accessory 1:35 British sea mine Mk XVII from the brand Black Dog model brings this motif in a size that will bear detailed work on the surface.
Moored contact mines were laid in the water on a cable with an anchoring weight so that the body stayed at the set depth below the surface. Detonation came about through the touch of a vessel. The designation Mk XVII points to the British line of this kind of armament; the particulars of the individual version are deliberately not gone into here.
A breakwater or a pier suggests itself, a deck and an ammunition store, the cargo bed of a truck or a railroad flatcar during transport. In 1:35 scale the mine joins up easily with military hardware and with figures, so it can work as the main motif of a small vignette.
The surface decides most of all. A dark base, a faint hint of salt and rust around the joints and a matte final coat give the body its weight. If you are setting the mine into water, leave a transition with a greenish coating at the place of the surface.
The neighborhood of figures operating the mine or walking past it is a good idea too - a human silhouette tells the viewer at once how large the body really is. Without this comparison a spherical shape looks smaller in a photograph than it really was.
