Bloody brilliant

I love the details, figures cling along nicely too

hope the back gets better quickly. We can't have you out of action for too long, this project needs finishing.

Am sorry to hear about the back

But a really nifty solution to the mouth

I hope you all don't mind, but i thought i would try and post some wip of the figs. I've been trying to get decent pictures but ive been struggling. Its a sad day when you can get better photos using your phone rather than a proper camera...

This ones the closest to finishing. I'm used to doing GW figs and i find the faces on these Copplestone sailors difficult! Also does anybody have a good way for painting realistic sand?

This is going to be my Captain Nemo. I've never tried patterns before, but I'm going to try something on his sash and turbin. The purple is the only thing thats finished on this model.

So what about the photos?

Well Done
Andy

And the stripes are looking better and better, to boot.

The landing craft hasn't really come on much. But what I have tried is making a test piece to try water effects. I know it can be done with moulds and resin but that seems like a lot of work for a gaming piece. Looking through the net there's some amazing examples out there. For my try the waves are made for polyfilla. Using a wet finger you can sculpt rough looking waves. They were then painted using a mix of GW regal blue and hawk turquiose. I bought cheap gloss wood varnish out of B&Q painted a few coats over the waves taking time to let each coat dry. I mixed some of the polyfilla and varnish and painted the tops of the waves to look like foam. In hind sight I think I should have added some White paint.

Well what do you think. Has anybody got any good water effects they have used or is there anything I should change to this that would work better?

Just paint.

With gloss.

With the varnish/polyfilla mixture.

Hey there!
Just dropped in and had to tell you how much I like your painting. The purple on the your Cpt Nemo is really nice, the HL are very well done!

The water looks fine as it is Andy

Maybe a touch more white on the breakers

cheers

Yeah, just a touch more froth and your existing method should work just fine... not sure what the best answer is, but there must be something.
