Hi Paul, its the Aertex stuff I also used on the 1/600 Victory. Painted with Winsor & Newton's Designer's Gouache, topped off with a liberal brushing/spattering of Klear

Richard, what can I say.....That is a wonderful little vignette, I am truly impressed! 
The seascape makes sense of the camo scheme in a way that you just don't see when such a model is displayed on a plain background. I really like the wave and wake effects, you have just the right amount of white water.....Very cool indeed! 
All the best |

Well, I suppose it'd look nice in a frame 
but as I'm not going to show it....
or did you have something else in mind

Cheers Andy, its sometimes difficult to know when to stop, and worth bearing in mind the old saying that less is more, and its easier to add than take away
