Lots of blue as opposed to red. Couldn’t do both without it turning purple, which would be a terrible waste of $50 in resin haha. I’m going to do the roiling wave crests in red and do some airbrushing to get the red on there the way i want it…i hope 🙂
I checked on this thing routinely for 40 minutes. Went in to the bathroom and came out to a solid plug of resin!! Definitely not 2-3 hours to stiffen up.
pics are with heavy gel medium so it'll keep it's shape as it dries to clear. Then I'll go over it with white to create the spray from the water. A little water effects to create some pools along the sand and it should be all set. I had an area up top in red that just didn't match the rest. The resin just dried on me too fast. So i added some heavy gel to it. That'll take a week to dry now as it's a thick area.

So the group build is set up like one of those cooking shows, you have 3 ingredients that you MUST use in the construction of your build. They are the color red, frogs, and sand. I've been doing a lot of water bases lately so my wife suggested parting the Red Sea and have frogs jumping out of the curling wave. Liked the idea and I said well let me look at my stash and see what I have for a plane to part the Red Sea. What better plane to part the sea than a SR 71 blackbird!
