The props are plastic discs painted wit acrylics and cut to shape with a #11 blade. THe water is a foam block roughed up with a pneumatic sander to make waves. It was then painted with acrylics, then coated with a clear acrylic paste. The wakes were built up with wall spackle. painted and coated with the acrylic paste.

Latest...painted wth Tamiya acrylics:
