your water effects.
The same feeling about the Dollar Tree bases. Some sanding, sealer, and done!These Hob Lob bases make me wish for a planer. Then. too, I could have just covered it in sealer and gone forward from there.
How many cheap bases can you buy for the cost of a planer?
At Dollar Tree, these small ones are $1.25USD each:
These larger ones are $3USD each:
A mini wood planer from Lowes is $17USD: So about four large and four small bases from Dollar Tree (3x4=12)+(1.25x4=5)=17.
A nice Stanley is $34USD from Home Depot: So about eleven large bases with most of a small one!
Don't know Saul, if you can get a surface like that with that planer you're in the wrong hobby. I was thinking like a PLANER

The scene from Raiders shows Bantu Wind riding at anchor in brown/green littoral (close to shore) waters. I do love the Tamiya clear blue over LP-48 shining silver effect, but the deep blue sea would not be authentic. The test plastic shows clear green over clear orange and clear blue over clear clear orange.
Then too, the green/brown of river water seems less than genuine as well.
sorry Brother, got nothing for you on the color of the seas. Waiting for you to cook up something.

These flags are printed on paper. They were included in the 720th scale USS Enterprise kit. They are yours if you could use them. Gary S.

If the water was brown, then it was probably not clear just muddy looking. That's how the water looked in VN. We grew up in Miami and the Biscayne Bay port water was a muddy green. In Bimini I was told it was a clear light blue. Gary S

I appreciate the offer, Pard' but I have flags of most nations from 1776 to modern day for printing already on file.
I put them on white decal paper, so one can fold them and rig them without the mess of white glue. They still need clear coats.
Conversely, if you wish for better flags for a ship, sing out! I sold 2 more 1/350 Big Cutter kits this week and the decal mill is running!
Hobbico's sheet is short one Foxtrot flag. Every Aviator worth his speed jeans knows that the Foxtrot is 2-blocked (one at the top of each yardarm) while flight ops are conducted. Silly Hobbico!
