Steven Van DyckThanks, guys! The ships are already fixed to the base, that got a last layer of ocean paint. It soon very much darkened, now the waves have to be topped with foam.

Steven Van DyckSome artificial silhouette still showed up under the water, so I had to add another layer, this time I chose pacific Blue from AK.

Steven Van DyckThe results are shown. It looks comparable to the base gel. I see very tiny air bubbles, but these are not visible more than half a metre away. Now some further detailing, I already finished the ship's wake.

Bart TeunisSteve question did you form a base (the form and the waves) before you placed the gel ?

Steven Van DyckYes, Bart, this can be observed on picture 43 and further. The base is a plaster cast. Yorktown + Hammann | Album by StevenVD (1:700)

Steven Van DyckThank you. I wanted 4 Wildcats on Yorktown, but some modifications were necessary for the wheelbays. The WEM Enterprise set has nothing on it for Wildcats, but the Corsairs wheels can be turned into a nice retractable wheel set.

Steven Van DyckThe Wildcats got their decals, weathering and a matt coat (not as matt as I imagined). I also made a nameplate out of the Yorktown one and an old CVN nameplate I had. The lettering for Hammann is scratch.
