The use of white candle wax is very clever--it would work especially convincing for larger ship and aircraft scales as well. Great breakthrough!

Look even better using a single photo with a background shot. Instructions are very good to folow, and thank you for sharing.

Brilliant methodology, and it works as well, however getting the sea colour right takes a master in his own right but thanks for the guide.

Expert sub build as well - this also highlights what I mean about the painting - really masterful work.
