Thank you very much for the reply with link and the how to pictures, very useful. I will definitely be utilizing the styrofoam technique to generate the swells in the future, I have been using acrylic gel medium to date which has a nice "wavelet" component but the swell was lacking! Thank you once again and congratulations on a fantastic build.

WOW what a great build, super detail for a small scale.

Thanks for your kind words.

There are several methods for water.
Here are several: http://www.shipmodels.info/mws_forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=37923

Nice build, I like the Scharnhorst water (swell) very much :thumbs_up_1:

That is the best looking sea base I have ever seen. I see that you have listed some materials that you used to create it, but would you be willing to expand on the list to include a how to on how you achieved such outstanding results? P.S. I think the Scharnhorst looks amazing as well, the water just flat out blew me away. :)

At the same time ..........
