Harry P. Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 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.
kpnuts Posted September 28, 2015 Author Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) 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 base>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.Get some clear bathroom sealantand apply to baseusing a knife or spoon spread it roughly aboutnow 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 thislet 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 /><br />you 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.

Harry P. Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Wow! That is so cool! But it does take talent to get realistic results like you get.Thanks for the tutorial. I am going to have to try this some time. The results are really amazing.
MAGIC MUFFLER Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 What a great build. You have lots of patience! It turned out beautifully!
kpnuts Posted October 2, 2015 Author Posted October 2, 2015 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.
Twokidsnosleep Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Nicely doneThe edging and label really finish it off well
