Modelling water. Only brave and foolhardy modellers model water, and of them only the truly masochistic of modellers try to model moving waves and sea. I'm a sucker...
... but I'm going to have a crack at it.
My plan is to have my anti-gravity lighthouse (still need a catchier name than that...) floating above the ocean waves. That's the story. The physical reality of the diorama is that I have a round marble base that I bought from Kmart, which I have filled with plaster to simulate a wavy sea. In that plaster I have based two wires, which I am hoping to disguise as guy-ropes which are dangling over the edge of the deck, just touching the water.
Here's the cunning plan:

| Aha. That is indeed a Cunning Plan. |

| Side-on view. |
And here is the current reality. The waves look pretty plaster-y at this stage, but that will change.
It feels great to be doing something so different to my last couple of builds.
Cheers,
Dave
