>>8408358Try to get reference pictures of the model you're working on and you can see what kind of waves the ship makes and use that to give you information on how to form the waves and where to place them.
The final step after I get all the waves and whatnot down is to lay doan a layer of liquitex high gloss varnish, which is essentially a very thin liquitex gloss medium that you can just brush onto the water to give it a higher shine.
>>8408480Thanks man, looking forward to see how yours turns out. Don't be intimidated by the process though, it seems very complicated but it's actually pretty easy once you get the hang of it and very satisfying.
