Pretty neat results there! And only the second ship model! Too bad the styrofoam structure comes through so well, I guess the normal type of isolation foam would give a nicer result while retaining the flexibility/easiness of manipulation! Haven't tried it myself though.
One always learns and the result you have is very far from a bad experience! It'll look nice next to your sub too!
