FineScale article on Waves made from Celluclay - How Easy.to do ..??

Yeah that was a pretty good article in FSM. The way the author described working with Celluclay is pretty accurate. The trick is to smooth out the waves and the gaps....and your ocean really comes out with the way you paint it. I hate it when someone just slaps some blue and a little white down. The way he described painting and then adding a final coating of Future is the way to do it. Have some fun and experiment with it.

1:400 may be a bit small for Celluclay waves unless it is a hurricane! For that scale I would recommend artists matt acrylic medium, a finer material for smaller waves. Another trick for a small scale is to roll up aluminum foil, straighten it back out and glue to base- then paint.

Also, doing celluclay around a sub or any hull with a lot of tumblehome- you may find vessel trapped in the material so be sure you pull it out soon and carefully! I would then fill in the area between hull and celluclay with acrylic medium rather than spackling compound- it is easier to work with.
