The method I use involves creatively wrinkling aluminum foil to the wave pattern desired, then painting it three different shades of blue. Specifically, Testor's spray Dark blue, then a wash of Dark Sea Blue, followed by Transparent Blue, allowing drying time between coats. At this point, I glue the foil onto the base and mount the ship. The final steps are several coats [at least 3] of Pledge with Future Shine floor finish. While the last coat is still wet, I use baking soda to make the wake and wave tops. Admittedly, this is a relatively time consuming method, but I have received many favorable comments on the models and have surprised people when they are told of how I make the water. Hope this helps. Regards, Bill
