glued the hull to a painted base and then added water in the form of clear resin.I did add the extra bulges at the side of the hull as i think they were visible enough and also make the ship look much "heavier" than the Richelieu's streamlined hull.

Love that water!!! It looks like it could just run right off of that base. Looking good, keep it up.

That looks fantastic! Love the water.

PS - I think a tutorial on how you do your water is in order!
