I liked the water effect very much!!!
The rats are a little cartoony for me, but you did a GREAT paint job. Wet rats look like you painted them (and I have seen wet rats). GOOD JOB.

Commented on the coolmini site 
Getting back into the thick (or rather thin as in thinning my paints) of it, not picked up a brush in some time so this may hurt a bit until I get used to the feel of them again 
Re: Leaving a Sinking Ship
yeah, tell us how to mess the water effect. looks great and dynamic. the paiting is nice, but the water effect steals the show...

[quote="atacam"]@ Dargrinwhat do you mean, colour? for the water, the barrel...?
Sorry. The question really wasn't clear was it? I was curious what color you used in the epoxy.

Re: Leaving a Sinking Ship
I tried looking for these on eBay last week, unable to find them 
too bad the Cadwallon scenery packs were very nice indeed
the painting you did looks really good
what I don't like is the black you painted on the base
why not a cilinder of water?

Re: Leaving a Sinking Ship
Thanks guys.
The water has to be the easiest product I have used to date.
I was given it free by the company to try. Its from ziterdes.
https://www.ziterdes.de/ziterdes/en/
After the first mess, I wanted a material I could put around the base to stop it sticking. Zoe came up with the idea of acetate. I tested it and it worked, so taped it in place, job done.
The water comes in little beads, just put in an amount, guess this, then add the colour, in this case blue with a touch of green. There is also some sort of sticky resin substance in a bottle you are meant to add, only add a small amount or your finished water will stay sticky( I did this in the very first test!) You are meant to cook it for 40 mins, but I did it for 30, took it out then mixed it, then put it back for the duration.
When it comes out it is very fluid, and I just poured it around the barrel, letting it go higher at the back. as it was pouring I put a cocktail stick in, to aerate it a little, for the bubbles. I then quickly moved the top about slightly, to start the wave creation. then it was dry, it dries solid in around 3-4 mins.
Once it was hardened I removed the acetate and then went about creating more defined waves and splashes up the barrel with Woodland scenics water effects. As so little was being used this dried in about 30mins. It was just a simple case of adding some faint touches of white then to give a little detail to the top of the water.
