1/1250 Dredger Scheldt River in a bottle

Post by Neptune »

Belgian flagged dredger Scheldt River (in a bottle, 1/1250).
She is a Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger and of the first of her kind to be able to run on LNG for less air pollution.
It didn't really come out the way I envisioned due to stratification of the epoxy (had to mix extra during the pour, which clearly didn't mix well with thre epoxy already inside) as well as light breaking on the curved bottle.

The top watersurface was then covered with acrylic to create some waves.
