Good job ! Just a question : how have you paint the "waves" ?

[@puramodera]

Thank you Peter. This model kit comes with the wave textured display casted in clear blue plastic. I simply drybrushed the wakes with white enamel paint. Having said this, the black display frame is hollow and have a huge opening so you can see right through it when the clear blue layer is put in. Because of this, I added a piece of plexiglass that is the same size as the clear blue wave part. On the plexiglass, I used tin foils and white glue to created shallow wave texture and painted it with clear blue and clear green paint. This DIY piece not only covers the hole, it also added depths to the ocean waves.

@@puramodera thank you so Much for all those explanations. It will be very helpfull for me ; i have just received this kit and i was a little concerned about how to paint this clear blue piece... Thanks again from France 👍😉

[@puramodera]

@@aschmel You are very welcome, Peter. This was a fun kit to put together and one could take it easy or make it as complicated as they want. For the display part, I would recommend adding a piece of wrinkled tin foil to the bottom to cover up the hole from the black frame.
