Daub it with PVA glue. Scrunch up some silver baking foil and apply more PVA liberally to stick it down, then paint with varying colours using whatever artistic talent you may possess, especially white tops to create "white horses." Excavate the shape of the hull and place the boat. Further realism is then created using cotton wool to form the bow-waves and their aftermath, and scatter here and there to simulate foam or spay coming off the top of the waves squirting the cotton wool with hairspray - the waves had a final modest spray of gloss varnish with the airbrush which was also used to apply the initial painting. Dingy camera shots then sort of modulate everything assuming you can eliminate other extraneous background.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-18251193631285084512021-05-31T18:25:18.359+01:002021-05-31T18:25:18.359+01:00I'm still trying to work out how you got that ...I'm still trying to work out how you got that angry sea.
