Very interesting Tim, A ship going over the rim of the world, the base does look very good. Will be following along for the ride.
Cheers, Si

Thanks Si and Jörg, much appreciated!
After the acrylic gloss coat was dry I added some thin squiggles of sea foam to the wake using white enamel. Acrylic paint would have worked just as well, but enamel gave me the flexibility to take it off with paint thinner and redo it if things didn’t come out right!
The ship was attached to the sea with Liquitex Gloss Medium & Varnish applied under the hull and around the water line. This medium is useful as a tough, flexible adhesive, but the thin material levels out as it dries to become completely smooth and clear.
To give the foam around the ship more texture, I made up some “white froth” from the Liquitex medium mixed with some Woodland Scenics Soft Flake Snow.
This was applied around the ship’s hull and at the crests of the waves.
That looks great Tim.
What a wonderful idea. Very creative!!
