Looks good Alan .It amazes me how some of the forum members manage to get such realistic water effects.

Cheers Dave , the way i use is maybe the simplest way of doing it although messy , I just use clear silicon then smooth it over with the back of a wet spoon , then just touch it in places with a dry spoon and lift off to make peaks on the waves , then just paint the tops white ,

The colour is just sea green painted on the board you use

That's really good Alan, the only ship I've built was a Bismarck one by Matchbox when I was 10! Yours looks so much better! The water effect is excellent for such a simple technique.

Cheers Patrick

great work for 1.700 mate. the sea effect looks bang on scale too. how are you going to finish off the frame?

[Alan 45]

Cheers folks I appreciate the kind words

Rob I might just paint it black but it's like a PVC plastic Si might need to get a different paint as acrylic won't take to it

Great work Al, looks superb and the sub just adds to it. Well done on the scratch building mate.
