Time was getting short, so I didn’t document many of the final steps.

I used an airbrush to apply gloss varnish tinted with burnt umber acrylic dye around the lower 1–2 inches of the model (in line with the previously applied seaweed) to simulate the high‑tide line. About 500 g of UV resin was then layered with decreasing tints of black acrylic dye. I was working fast and only used resin tape to create the barrier around the perimeter of the board. While this worked, with no leaks, it resulted in an uneven surface. I knew this would happen, so I leaned into it to try and simulate choppy water.

The waves were built up using Sika Clear Fix Crystal, diluted with 99.99 % isopropyl alcohol and formed with a tongue depressor.

I purchased the Sorcerer’s Spoils box set from Wargames Atlantic for a future project. It arrived early, so a few bits from it were added along with a handful of other small details. These were the only elements I didn’t paint with sponges. Some hungry seagulls were the final, gruesome cherry on top.

This project is significantly larger than anything I have worked on to date. Getting the whole thing in frame was challenging; my black felt backdrop didn’t stand a chance.
