Hello Friends, i made this SBS for a group oer on Fbook and thought you may like it so ... here it is 
this groundwork is actually made for my Pegaso 90mm Knight Templar.
#1 : the seaground airbrushed with shades of blues up to white this is important as it will give a "deep" effect
#2 : plastic from a water bottle glued in place to frame the wave sprays later
this is the resin i use for high volume of "water", it doesn't get hot while curing so you can pour any volume you want, only the curing time will extend
i buy it at my local arts supplies store
it will be tinted with 2 drops of scale75 "mediterranean blue"
#3 : a "mold" is made from lightly oiled copper foil, and maintined in place with heavy dutty clamps. I always pourred with a disposable contenant under as you'll never know when or if the resin will find a way to escape LOL
#4 : here is the result once pourred and cured. the sides have been sanded and gloss varnished with acrylic gloss
#5 : working the ripples and basic waves with acrylic heavy gel, dries totally transparent. a dried paintbrush is used as a spatula, along with the popcycle stick and a toothpick
i buy the gel at my local arts supplies store
#6 : here is the gel applied, note that it takes 24 to 72 hours to completely dry depending on the volume you use
while drying it becomes totally transparent :
#7 : here is the mix for the seafoam and sprays. 50/50 mix of acrylic mediums and 1 drop of golden acrylic (satin)
all from my local arts supplies store
apply the mix in the logical foam spots this is a tricky step as if you got too much it will dry and take out the transparency effect so it'S better to go gradually ... observation is key here
and here it is, finished :
I hope it may help some of you have fun with watery effects
