Polystyrene base
Green & Blue Acrylic paints (Cheap art liquid acrylic paints type are fine)
PVA glue (woodwork/art type glue that sets clear when dry)
1/4 -1/2 brush
If you are mounting a sea plane or ship cut out an area for the hull to sit in first, the sample shown was an experiment to see if the process would work hence no cut out.
Start with the polystyrene base, I used a piece of packing sheet that came with a stationery order, paint it with the acrylic paints you don’t have to be artistic, just slap the paint down using blue and green in a random pattern merge the colours were they join to stop any harsh lines.
When the paint is dry poor PVA glue over the whole surface and brush the glue into small waves. When the glue has dried and gone clear, repeat the process again and again until you have the desired effect, the sample shown had four coats of PVA.
Thats all ther is to it plane and simple with very little outlay in time or money.
