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.

Very, very nice. I was wondering what did you use for the water. It came out very well.

 

Semper Fi.

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.
