The RHIB definitely needed a few figs - had a ghost ship feel otherwise 😉

OK, now this one is fully "done" 🙂

Thanks for the nice comment Bjorn!
If you're asking about the water color, I usually start with Vallejo USN glossy sea blue and mix in various dark greens as needed for the ocean to be represented - I usually do Atlantic waters a bit more green. I unfortunately didn't note the actual mix, and I like having slightly different shades when I do each layer, so just keep adjusting until you're happy with it. The last couple layers are usually in clear gloss medium with some green and blue (and sometimes gray) ink/wash added.
Hope that helps!

Hi all, thanks for all the likes - this was one of my favorite builds and an early reintroduction (third one 🙂) back into the hobby.
@ Bruce, thanks so much for the kind comment!
@ Bjorn, I used Vallejo model air colors - Light Gull Gray 71.121 for the hull, and Medium Gunship Gray 71.097 for the decks - not sure they're completely correct, but I'm happy with the results 🙂

Thanks Jennifer! After watching so many YouTube videos on the subject, I ended up picking and choosing different bits of techniques to make my own style 😀
Thanks all for the likes! Looking through the album, I need to get around to populating this dio and taking some pics with a cleaner background 😉

Album info
1:700 Hobbyboss model with some detailing sets. Since this model didn’t have a waterline option, had to create a seascape out of styrofoam to embed the hull.
