hms fearless being escorted by hms bacchante and hms active. i mounted it on clear perspex and made the sea from decorators filler , painted and finished with pva. the home made engraving is my first attempt with a dremel and it looks naff but thats why i love modelling...try different techniques, and anyway, at the end of the day its great fun.

Nice one Rob. they look good. I have been faffing with silicone sealant for water effects, Ron on here has some superb water effects using sealant and other mediums. I like these top work.

This thread shows my 1/144 zero and landing craft dio with silicone used for water, may give you some ideas if you decide to have a crack at a other. http://www.scale-models.co.uk/threads/small-1-144-landing-craft-and-zero-dio.19831/

Just to add that the plaque doesn't look too bad at all mate. Good work using the multi-tool dentists drill

thanks si. i just started using mod podge as well. that gives a good sea effect. ive learnt that less is more when using silicone , as you can see by the out of scale waves on my hms kent diorama

It is a art form forming waves, many a time mine have...well...lets just say they haven't worked lol. What do you use to create the waves? I use stiff bristled brushes, the back of a teaspoon for smoothing and wave forming with the tip for creating peaks, also use toothpicks/cocktail sticks for flicking up sides of boats etc.

Looking good Rob, like you say, we are all on a learning curve.
