Nicely done, Bigs! I like your green Atlantic waters. The background and subject really came out well together in the images.

Great work, she almost looks sad battered by the waves and stained with rust. Your composition is great, I cant wait till she gets back to safer waters.

I made the water with air-drying sculptor's clay - just to see. Once, and never again! As it dryed it cracked and pulled away from the ship's hull - taking some paint with it! I re-assembled the broken pieces with lots of CA, and stuffed all the gaps and cracks with more clay. After painting I layered a lot of clear acrylic paste topped off with Humbrol clear.
