Fine ships and figures but what wonderful bit of ocean, just missing a pod of dolphins. Excellent post, thanks for sharing.

Thank you Willz, the water was inspired by wanting to have a more reflective, yet not glass-like surface.
The water is very effective, can you tell us how you did it?
Very fine looking ships and crew 👍. That plastic sheeting over the blue cloth is inspired - it looks awesome 🤩
The water is a layer of blue cloth, with a 'weave' that causes a different color reflection depending on the direction of the light. So when the cloth has a fold or crease in it there's an accentuation of the color from a lighter to a darker blue.
I lay out this cloth then put some creases in it to simulate wave motion.
On top of this blue cloth I put a clear plastic sheet, it is flexible and rolls up, so the 'rolling' process creates an uneven surface to the clear plastic, which is reflective, yet clear, so the blue cloth and its 'weave' creates a differentiation of the reflections and a blue 'under current' that tricks the eye into seeing motion where none exists.
The cameras at a low angle helps to really bring the 'water' to life.
