Hello friends, I'm glad to be back at the bench after a long period of absence. It had everything to do with my parents health issues, it wasn't a lack of modeling mojo...
The build of this little cute floater was super straightforward so let's move on to the painting chapter.
I airbrushed on multiple shades of grey with the brightest sprayed on from above. The flight deck was done with a darker grey. I used the stickers (no decals) as masks to create the yellow stripes by first applying the yellow/stickering/and finally spraying on the dark grey.

A base was made from balsa foam, mdf wood panel and plastic sheet.

The base was given a couple of blue shades and then AK Pacific Gel was dabbed on with an old brush. I immediately liked the effect and I'm not talented in creating seascapes.
I also added AK Transparent gel to the surface and finished with AK Foam effects, later on finished with cotton pad.
The cotton pieces were secured in a fresh layer of transparent gel.
The planes on deck and one taking off...I used guitar string to get them up in the air.
I'll finish up tomorrow, thanks for watching.
