Jan, its perfect!  I really like how your water turned out, very realistic.  I am going to practice the same technique you used before my Type II build.  Any advice on what tools I should use to manipulate the acrylic gel?

Again, simply beautiful!

Jan- i have prooposition for you. How about the dio of partly sunken boats- perhaps after air strike, with visible destruction to the harbour, and lots of weathered rust, and so on.
I may take on something like that in the future to polish the rust technique.
What do you think?

Well, I have been tempted by the Hobby Boss 1:700 boats to do a scene with harbour and U-Boot pen, like in Brest  ;D

Doing something like that in 1:72 would be huge ... and totally impossible to store anywhere around here.

Cheers/Jan

It was quite challaging doing the water, and one of the lessons is, that the frame gives sinkmarks in the gel where it meets the frame - I
