    Zathros, When I am ready to create the water I will certainly give your recommendation some thought. Could be a challenge though, never done this before. I like your idea.. I have seen some models that tried to create a bow wave and I never found it convincing. Trial and error, maybe using...

    Thanks Zatros, Will certainly try your tip :) I'll enlarge the groundplate too, it's a bit narrow on the sides. Perfect for the build, but for a better water effect some 5-10 cm's more would be required. Thanks again :)

    You could try 'painting‘ the hull with glue. After drying sand it with course to fine paper. After that paint with glue again, apply putty where needed, sand it again. Takes a lot of time, but the result should be smooth before the last layer. Painting with glue strengthens your model as well :)
