I looked through this thread and didn't find anything... so I have to ask...

The water is just incredible! The ship is also, but that water... wow! Unbelievable. Can you post a short explanation covering exactly how you did it? It's just amazing, and I'd love to know how it's done. I see that it's "silicone," but that doesn't tell me how you did it.

Hi its dead easy mate.<br />First paint your base ( the deeper the water the darker and less other colours there would be) in this example its costal waters so not very deep ( you could add greens and browns for really shallow water showing the shallowness)So here's your basevoMk5Lc.jpg>place ship wherever you want it (if the ship is to be removed wrap the hull in cling film to stop the sealant sticking to it.JbeTnSC.jpgGet some clear bathroom sealantS8YeHLJ.jpgand apply to baseLCYi4vs.jpgusing a knife or spoon spread it roughly about48QZfZ9.jpgnow press down with the knife or spoon and rapidly move in the direction of the wave moving upwards as you go and you will get a little peak, just like a wave, continue till you have enough, it should end up looking like thisFxdzsXm.jpglet it go off, if you need higher waves you can add more when its gone off, as I did on the bow waves<br />then just highlight with white paint<br />Cl9hadl.jpg<br />mrFF7nG.jpgyou can then use cotton wool for the foam on the very tops of the waves.obviously you would take more care than I did on this example, but you get the idea. it really is easy I did this example in ten mins.hope this is of use.

Thanks guys well my Rolf took delivery of it today and said it is totally amazing, said he knew it would be good as he had seen the way it was going, but that it was way better than he had expected, he recons it's the framing that finishes it off.
