Thanks Hunter, I sure hope your right.
Before adding the acrylic varnish, I placed the boat in its place to see how things are looking. I still need to add some cotton to the bow and stern. Once the wave is completed I’ll start on the dock and slider timbers.
I added acrylic varnish to the cotton and groomed it to look more like water. After this dries, I need to trim what there and add a little more cotton to complete the illusion. I also started to add the varnish to the water. There will be several coats of varnish to add depth and give a glossy appearance.
I received the styrene strips today so I get back on the boat and deck stringers.
