I had an idea as to how I was going to do the dio and looked at certain ways of doing the water effect. I eventually just cut a block of packing polystyrene with a saw giving it an uneven effect.
Next I placed the hull of the boat onto the block , marked around it , removed it and then ran a line of liquid glue along the lines and it melted the poly.
Once the ship was in place I covered the base in PVA glue , spread it out with a brush leaving some parts higher and letting it dry.
I then painted the base , and added more glue spreading it out again and letting it dry.
The wave effect down the sides was made by running a line of PVA glue right down either side of the model and brushed to give it a wave effect.
As it was drying I added a white paint just lightly brushed along the sides.
When dry I added more white to make the wake more visible and then gave the base a layer of clear to give it a shine.
I've still to add a bit more white down the sides as I've been advised the wake would be wider from the middle of the model.
I hope you like it .
