Robswashashore Posted March 28, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 28, 2020 Our son is a FF/Paramedic and a member of the Barnstable County Technical Rescue Dive Team. In January he assisted the USCG Aids to Navigation Team Woods Hole with some work on a buoy outside of Chatham Harbor here on Cape Cod. I thought it would be fun to combine my inordinate maternal pride with my interest in esoteric military modeling. The divers were bashed from the old Heller "Frogmen" kit. The Coast Guard crew were bashed from the Trumpeter LCM figures. And I scratch-built the 26' Trailerable Aids to Navigation Boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtyScout Posted March 29, 2020 Share #5 Posted March 29, 2020 Very, very nice. I was wondering what did you use for the water. It came out very well. Semper Fi. Manny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robswashashore Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted March 30, 2020 Manny First I paint the base with blue/green poster paint. Then spread out some clear latex caulking that you get at the hardware store for home repairs. It takes a few days to dry clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
