Alec: I have watched as your skills have tremendously improved. The rigging on your ships is smaller and much more in scale. The Pe is looking great and the weathering is looking much more realistic. Don't be too hard on yourself. Things are comming along nicely.

RE: the ocean - the easiest thing to do for acrylic ocean effects is to do exactly what you did - paint the plexiglass or the board underneath and put a few coats of acrylic above that. Instead of using a knife or shaping tool like you did, try getting a sea sponge, wetting it, and dabbing in the acrylic to get gentle water effects - especially good for harbor scenes like this. (I used it with my "Troubled anchorage" dio.) Then, set the ship directly into the wet gel. It will sceure the ship and make it part of the dio.

Happly modeling!

Alec;

Your work is OUTSTANDING!!! Keep it up. I have seen many posts of your projects. Between work, family, friends and hobby, you must get about one hour of sleep per night. I like you am addicted to models. Keep it up.
