Thank you guys.
The base was made from Styrofoam, paper strips and acrylic gel. After the gel was dry, I painted turquoise around the boat followed by the blue/gray which was blended into the turquoise. The bow wave, wake and deck/Limber Hole drainage was produced with cotton and acrylic gel.

Well, seems to me a this is a very good start into 2016 with ship modeling here on Scalemates. Ingmars Arleigh Burke, Yaris Big E, Scotts Kirov, and so on. And now this amazing, dramatic and much lifelike seascape showing a Typ VII hunting for the next Convoy on a cold and stormy November day in 1943 in North Atlantic waters.
I lift my head of your much inspiring work Steve!
I guess we all are much interest how you stick the boat into that Styrofoam board Do you use paper mache or just paper towel soaked in acrylic gel to create the waves rolling over the boat?!
Cheers, Christian

Somehow, looking at this build gives me the same feelings as observing a well-nurtured bonsai: the same amont of aestethical joy out of something miniature and natural.
Guys are right saying that it is well beyond mere modelling and into art. A three-dimensional classical oil painting.
Thank you for sharing it with us, and more thanks for the in-process shots to reassure us that it is totally doable 🙂

Hi Steve! That's a great build.
I've only just seen this for the first time, although I'm on daily I'm not on all day.
I particularly like your SEA, can I ask what method you used to construct the water??? I can see the basis of your achievment in the pics, but not the water itself. I'm impressed. I know how to do it, but as there are different recipes and methods of achieving the outcome, I'm intrigued to know yours. Is it just paint? have you used resin? did you mould the waters texture? or carve/sculpt it? I've followed your pics... BUT!!!
That swirl is fantastic Steve, I'm seriously impressed with the whole dio' 😮

Thanks Steve,
The effect wave effect is accomplished mainly by the paper strips and heavy acrylic gel. As I apply the paper strips with the gel, I add varying degrees of gel to sculpt ripples on the swells, same thing with the wake. I also air brushed turquoise and white in spots where I felt the water would be disturbed near the surface. The whitecaps were drybrushed and the everything had a final application of Future to add a wet look.

Rui S I think it is going after the Indianapolis😉
It's got a long way to go to catch her. Just an update, The Indy is at the Lexington museum and I will be writing them to see if they want the U-boat in a week or two.
