Since January I’ve been working with a couple of other NLOE members to revamp and finish out harbor scene. Last night we poured the “water” and I was so happy with the results. We still need to add another thin layer of resin and the water surface detailing but I figured this was a good point to share.
Flyby over the scene.

Looks great, like that there's a believable amount of water around the car float.
Thanks for sharing this! I have a small harbor scene planned on my layout to be, and this is really valuable. You should be proud, it looks great (loved the fishing boat ORCA, paging captain Quint). my construction is similar, I have foam board over plywood and this gives me some things to think about (like I have 4" of foam, and how deep to make the water surface from dock level).
Greg,
I've been watching the progress in this area through the years, over several visits to the NLOE open houses (WHEN is the next one?).
Looks great, looking forward to seeing it in person
Greg,
That really looks great. I love the base color. It makes it look real.
Great work Greg! Looks amazing.
Greg - that is the neatest harbor scene I've seen. Fantastic work and inspiring.
Nice work! Is the base color a gray? Sometimes my color blindness kicks in more than others and I can't tell if its a deep blue or gray.

Its a mix of blue/gray, green and brown. i miked different shades and randomly blended them together so its not consistent. I was mostly trying to give the effect of depth so we would only have to pour a thin layer of resin.
The resin was tinted with both blue and brown.
No wonder I couldn't tell if it was blue or gray.
