Thanks a lot! I really enjoyed this one! Thanks again!

Now that's SWEEET,love the water effect's. :woohoo: hmy:

Is that Vallejo water you used mlp?

.Kurt.

@Kurt, I used Crystal Gel made by LUKAS,
This comes in a consistence somewhere between honey and jam - it's acrylic - it is white and dries completely clear. So its quite easy to use for open water and small waves. You only have to keep in mind that it shrinks by about 20%. I never have used the Vallejo one.

On this pic you can see it after the first coat

The dio does have three coats

Just a quick addition

it was the GB at Swanny's and that pic (I found it on the web) which enforced me to do this

as far as I know, we don't have a Hobby Lobby here in Germany and I looked at the LUKAS home page (http://www.lukas.eu/WEB_D/index.html - looks like German only) and they don't list any stores in the US but I found a contact you could ask perhaps:

U.S. direct delivery to multiple customers
contact in the home LUKAS:
Mrs. Ute Hallerbach
Tel: 00 49 211 78 13 22

(translated by me)

I tried to phone her up but nobody was home ....

Let me know if you don't receive an answer on an email, then I try to reach her again.

But on the other hand - from what I've read the Vallejo water gel is probably about similar - here it is a little more expensive but it is sold here at almost any online scale model shop

hope this helps
