Thanks peeps for the most encouraging comments....
I'm having great fun with this, to the extent that I nearly forgot about the boat!
I always like to tackle something I've not done before. So, as the boat is supposed to be in the tidal Mekong Delta, I'm going to do the water at low tide. This will give me the opportunity of having a first time bash at a muddy shore line - should be fun. So here goes......
I have it in my mind's eye that the water would swill the mud from around the shore to reveal some rocks which have crumbled from the cliff face.
So here is the start..Last night I removed the shacks and layered some polyfilla, with added brown paint, to where I wanted the water's edge. Then whilst it was still wet, I broke up some stones from my drive and randomly sprinkled them on the mixture, then gently pushed them into the surface.
Here is the opposite shore line.
....and a top view of both shores.
Next up, I will use some children's acrylics and add some colour to the rocks and mud. Then I can finally fix the shacks in place.
Thanks for looking in, and I hope you approve thus far of my first crack at a shore line....Be gentle!
Cheers,
Ron
