Then I applied toilet paper mixed with PVA glue added with water to create the water surface


A base coat of AMMO dark sea blue...

I attempted to brush it with AMMO dark grey.... unsuccessfull.... but that was the ever first drybrush of my life....

base coat of dark grey too on the tracks
Oops... an unconventional part in the track.... moulding default?

a quick gloss varnish to prepare the weathering steps....
the drybrush has disappeared...



after my first drybrush,
my first oil wash...

To create the waves and the foam, I'll use cotton mixed with PVA glue added with water

next steps:
weathering of the tracks, fixing of the kit on the diorama and filling of the gaps with [toilet paper-PVA glue-water], making of waving and foam...
