Many, many thanks again chaps

Like 'I did it all in shackled and bound while my evil employer held a whip to the bacon'?
You know who...

What are you going to use on the water(ie varnish)? I of course have an interest
as on my own boards I used acrylic gloss,a few coats....Well probably a bit more than a few,sanded back each time; if you tint each layer get some nice depth,however I digress.
I've got two options. One is to sculpt the waves from filler, paint and then varnish, the other is to use the thick water effects to give as much depth as possible

I'm assuming it'll come to me when I actually sit down to do it

cheers
