The seas are just plasticine (modelling clay) painted. The white is added whilst the blue is still wet so it runs. I recently changed to using polystyrene foam moulded with a gas torch and I found the details in "Making Seas" here on Model warship. I think it is in the Hints & Tips section.

Really impressive ships and cases. I've read the article on building display cases but how is the ocean made?

My only comment on the lovely sailing ships (Ok they are not all technically rated as "ships") is that they generally if on a reach or beating into the wind, acquire a list to leeward which can be considerable, especially for a tall rig.

The rig and sail on these are spectacular, I wouldn't even attempt it!

Thanks fro sharing! Tom
