      This was a build with many firsts: first submarine, first 1/350 figures and first seascape.
      In general I'm quite happy with the finish, some things could be better, but lessons learned.
      One thing I'm not happy with is that there appeared some cracks in the oil paint whitecaps.
      It occured after three or four coats of Humbrol clear coat, but it is strange because the whitecaps themselves weren't clearcoated because they needed to remain matte. Maybe some of the solvents in the clear reacted with the dried oil paint?

                Hi Wouter
                That is stunning. The water is perfect especially the flow off the boat.

                  Wow Wouter,

                  You've really taken to water like a fish. Sub is beautiful and the seascape really makes the total package a winner. Excellent work Sir!!!

                  Prost

                          This is an outstanding piece, wonderful work on the boat and the the ocean is just superb! Top drawer modelling, well done, one of my faves.
