Nifty.  What do you use for your water mat?

Great looking plane!! I really like the worn look of it. Great name on it too!! I too would like to know what you used for the water. It looks great, and the photos look awesome. Thanks for sharing.

The "water" is simply a blue transparent plastic shower curtain...

How do you get it to look like waves???

Also, if it is blue, how can it be transparent?  ??? Transparent means you can see through it. Do you mean translucent or perhaps opaque?

I store it unthoroughly folded, thus the waves come by its own. Itīs blue like blue glass. You can see through and everything looks blue. Does this explain it?

Nice!!!

(a couple of more questions):

- are you married?
- if so, could you post a pic of your wife (or girlfriend)?
- (given the see-through shower curtain) is it possible to visit your shower (with wife/girlfriend in it)?

just joking....

I fell in love with that plane the first time I saw a picture of one in Flying Fleetsin my elementary school's library. You did a great job on the model!

Michi if your shower curtain is on the floor masquerading as the Pacific isn't your bathroom floor getting soaked. And if it is could you use that as the sea base for photos? There is a sort of twisted logic to this.

Hell, no! I have a cell with sliding doors. That curtain was surplus. I wanted to dump it, but my wife told me to keep it for gaming. How right she was...

Just love the weathering on both the aircraft and the boat.  Inspiring stuff!
